Bootlegger^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: H Cobden| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 125

5/2

Back on song when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Only twice raced over fences and yet to make the frame so needs to hit the ground running here.

Form: 9613-94

Nightfly^t³²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 123

5/1

Fairly useful winning chaser but lightly raced nowadays. Back from 10-month absence but well treated if returning with his A-game.

Form: 12405/6-

Global Tour^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 122| D

8/1

Scored on his chasing bow at Bangor in July but never going well when only fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Perth (16f) only run since. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 132-715

Denmead^t⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 122

13/2

Fairly useful 17f winner on Flat but well held on chasing bow when fifth of 7 in novice (5/1) at Stratford (20.9f) 72 days ago. In excellent hands so not written off on his handicap debut.

Form: 3310/0-5

Court Master²⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore| OR: 120| DWS

9/4

Won first two starts over fences at Musselburgh and Newbury but not seen out since below-par eighth in Cheltenham handiap 8 months ago. Has gone well fresh before so he's well worth considering.

Form: 30P/118-

Minella For Me^t²⁴³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 118| D

14/1

Ended last season rather under a cloud so veteran chaser has bit to prove on return from 8 months off now.

Form: 116/7P6-

Jarlath⁵³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: J McGrath| T: J W Mullins| OR: 114| CD

28/1

Stratford 20f handicap winner before good third at Haydock when last seen on track 17 months ago. Fitness clearly a big concern here though after his long absence.

Forecasts

Court Master (9/4), Bootlegger (5/2), Nightfly (5/1), Denmead (13/2), Global Tour (8/1), Minella For Me (14/1), De Plotting Shed (16/1), Jarlath (28/1)

A few with chances but COURT MASTER could be worth siding with as he is 2-3 over fences and has gone very well fresh before so is taken to make a winning return. Nightfly is another with an absence to overcome but he figures on a handy mark so commands respect, while it would come as no surprise to see Denmead bounce back after an underwhelming chasing debut.
