Kilfilum Cross²¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-3| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 142| D

9/2

Hurdles chase winner who ended last term in tremendous order, finding only one too good for second successive season in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham. Ran well on return last year and respected again.

Princeton Royale^v⁴¹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-3| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: N B King| OR: 142| CD

13/2

Veteran C&D winner who returned to form from out of the blue to spring a surprise after 7 months off at Stratford under this rider last month but now his task is to back that up.

Form: 2/86P8-1

As You Like⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 137| D

4/1

Rarely out of the money for the last 2 years and saw the extended 3m out well when making a winning return at Southwell in July. Creditable second at Perth since and he should remain competitive.

Form: 1237-12

Fixed Rate^p,t⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 130| C

16/1

Course winner who ran well to finish second from a 5 lb higher mark on return at Aintree (19.9f) last December. However, out of sorts thereafter and fared no better on return at Stratford last month.

Form: 11/2P0-8

Favorito Buck's^p²³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 130| D

13/2

Useful chaser who confirmed he retains his ability when third at Kempton in February. Returns with his yard flying at present and respected for all he's usually campaigned at right-handed tracks.

Form: 416P2/3-

One Forty Seven^v⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 128| D

9/1

Back to best when scoring on return at Southwell (20.4f) in July and not disgraced at Uttoxeter (26f) next time. Seemingly not 100% at Stratford since but present mark demands more in any case.

Form: 315-14P

Hepijeu^b1,t⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 125| CD

10/1

Successful 3 times over fences last term (twice here) but more miss than hit in handful of starts over fences/hurdles upon returning this summer. Return to this track needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 22-7383

Mr Caffrey^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 122| D

16/1

Successful at second attempt over fences at Bangor last year, but more miss than hit since, struggling to get competitive at Market Rasen (21.4f) last month. Is at least back on last winning mark.

Form: PU25-59

Sir Jack Yeats^b²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: James Bowen| T: R Spencer| OR: 120| CD

4/1

Fairly useful hunter chaser who ran well back in a handicap when 2 lengths fourth of 11 at Uttoxeter (3m) last month. Should give another good account from same mark.

Form: 3162/2-4

Forecasts

Sir Jack Yeats (4/1), As You Like (4/1), Kilfilum Cross (9/2), Princeton Royale (13/2), Favorito Buck's (13/2), One Forty Seven (9/1), Hepijeu (10/1), Mr Caffrey (16/1), Fixed Rate (16/1)

FAVORITO BUCK'S appeals as being on a workable mark and returns with his yard having hit the ground running, so he gets the nod to come out on top in an interesting contest. Last season's Kim Muir runner-up Kilfilum Cross and Princeton Royale are others fancied to be in the mix.
