Our Reward^p¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Hicks⁽⁷⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 98| CD

9/2

Landed a small-field handicap at Southwell (3m, good) last month, but well held over C&D when back chasing again last time. Needs to bounce right back.

Big Time Frank^p¹⁹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: P Gundry| OR: 97

3/1

Multiple chase runner-up last winter. Not seen since respectable effort when third at Exeter (3m, good) in April. Trip and conditions no problem, and cheekpieces go back on after seven-months off.

Sutter's Mill^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 96| D

8/1

Good ground Ludlow winner (3m) last November. Also acts on soft. Pulled up on seasonal reappearance at Uttoxeter earlier in the month, so has a bit to prove after that.

Love The Leader^p⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 90| CD

11/10

Ran up a hat-trick 11-months ago, and returned to winning ways in a conditional jockeys' event at Wincanton (3m1f, good) last week. Same mark here, and should go close if as effective on genuine soft going.

Form: P5P941

Burgess Dream²⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR: 89| CD

8/1

Dual winner on slow ground over staying trips last year. Below par on his last two starts of the season, and record when fresh is offputting.

Forecasts

Love The Leader (11/10), Big Time Frank (3/1), Our Reward (9/2), Sutter's Mill (8/1), Burgess Dream (8/1)

Our Reward would have claims is able to bounce back after a disappointment last time. while Big Time Frank is also capable, but could be forgiven for needing this after a summer break. Preference therefore is for the in-form LOVE THE LEADER, who backed up wins last year, and is taken to do so again after scoring at Wincanton last week.
