Bigmartre²²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Jamie Neild⁽¹⁰⁾| T: H Whittington| OR: 140| C

14/1

Below par last season but is back on a winning mark ahead of return and yard in good form. so better show wouldn't surprise.

Form: 01/5674-

Templepark¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 137| D

10/3

A model of consistency and has added a couple of Newton Abbot novice hurdles to his tally this summer. Still on the upgrade judged on latest win over fences at Warwick last month. Back up in trip.

Form: F-21121

Coup De Pinceau^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 135| CD

5/1

Useful chaser from a top stable who returned to form to take advantage of a drop in the weights at Perth last month. Up 5 lb but should remain competitive.

Form: 42/3P-51

Relentless Dreamer^p,t³²⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 135| CD

9/1

Sparingly raced in 2018/19 but shaped encouragingly after a year off when third at Chepstow on last season's return. Excuses both starts since so not dismissed. Off 10 months.

Form: 431/3P6-

Sumkindofking^p,t²¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 130| C| D

8/1

Placed in competitive handicap chases at Catterick and Musselburgh before pulled up in the Cross Country at the Cheltenham Festival on final start. This trip probably short enough for him nowadays.

Form: 46423P-

Shoal Bay^p,t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 130

6/1

Returned from 6 months off with a smooth success at Southwell in July. Let down by his jumping both starts since but shaped as if still in form. Could get back on track with a clearer round.

Form: 127-135

For Good Measure⁶³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 127| D

13/2

Isn't the most straightforward but put it all together to belatedly open chase account at Warwick (3m) a year ago. Much better for return when beaten only by a progressive sort at Newton Abbot.

Form: 4217-92

Cresswell Legend^p,t⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 126| CD

4/1

Mixed record last season and below par both starts over hurdles this term. Bit to prove back over fences.

Forecasts

Templepark (10/3), Cresswell Legend (4/1), Coup De Pinceau (5/1), Shoal Bay (6/1), For Good Measure (13/2), Sumkindofking (8/1), Relentless Dreamer (9/1), Step Back (12/1), Bigmartre (14/1), Tintern Theatre (14/1), Fixed Rate (33/1)

TEMPLEPARK is thriving at the moment, like so many from his yard, and his latest win at Warwick shows he's still on the upgrade. He gets the vote over Coup de Pinceau, who got back to winning ways at Perth last month. Claims can also be made for Relentless Dreamer, who can go well fresh and is dropping in class.
