6/4
Irish point winner who returned after 8 months off with promising second of 10 to Demon D'aunou in handicap chase (7/2) over C&D on debut over fences. 8 lb better off now so holds solid claims.

4/1
Fairly useful hurdler who matched that form at the second attempt over fences when scoring in Stratford handicap in July. Left with too much to do next time, so still worth bearing in mind.

6/1
Won first two starts over hurdles for this stable but his form dipped at end of season and well-held fourth over 22f here on return. Goes chasing now but faces no easy introduction.

18/1
Maiden hurdler who has already proved better over fences when runner-up at Newcastle last December. Well held on yard debut/return back over hurdles but not discounted now.

11/4
Fairly useful on Flat/hurdles but has failed to convince with her jumping over the larger obstacles, though not disgraced when fourth here (17f) last time. Dropped 4 lb so not totally dismissed.

40/1
Poor maiden hurdler/chaser. Not disgraced when sixth in novice hurdle here (22f) last time but has it all on back over fences from 19 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Takingitallin (6/4), Demon D'Aunou (2/1), River Icon (11/4), Romanor (4/1), Juge Et Parti (6/1), Raecius Felix (18/1), Costly Dream (40/1)

Verdict

DEMON D'AUNOU was well held reverted to hurdles earlier in the month but had looked a good chasing prospect prior to that when scoring impressively over C&D so is taken to get back on track now, despite meeting Takingitallin on 8 lb worse terms here. Donald McCain's mare is sure to make a good fist of it though, while Romanor is also much respected after being set too much to do last time.

  1. DEMON D'AUNOU (FR)
  2. TAKINGITALLIN (IRE)
  3. ROMANOR
