Off time: 12:40 | Winning time: 4m 31.0s

Airton^t,v²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Martin McIntyre⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 102

4/1

Landed a gamble rather fortunately off a career-low mark at Uttoxeter (23.3f) last month, left in a place last and edging ahead on the line. Not an obvious type to follow up back in trip.

Form: 620-581

Buonarotti Boy^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 100

22/1

Missed over 2 years from 2018. Offered a bit back over hurdles at Stratford in July but not so good twice since.

Form: 376/3P9

Knight Commander⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Katie Powell⁽⁷⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 93

11/4

Back in top form, resuming winning ways on stunning day for yard at Hereford (21.7f) last week. Obvious claims under penalty if in same mood.

Form: 0-65241

Berboru⁷⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Myles Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 95

100/1

Maiden who looks to have lost her way and turned in an ugly effort at Newton Abbot in August (tried to refuse 4 out and unseated rider).

Form: 2/6PP-7U

Vexed^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr William Biddick| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 89

28/1

Fair maiden on the level. Yet to show anything in 4 runs over hurdles this term, including on handicap debut latest, and has work to do.

Form: 7078

Espressino^h,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr M Legg| T: C J Down| OR: 86

5/2

Got back on track to a large extent when second over shorter here last time despite an imperfect round of jumping. Same mark and probably has a race in him.

Form: 978-P72

Jetstream^p,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr James King| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 85

22/1

Sound third (behind 2 subsequent winners) on return to hurdling at Southwell in July but not so good since. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 30-33P8

Sweeping Rock^p³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien| T: J L Spearing| OR: 82

13/2

Quirky sort but going through a reasonable spell at present, second of 13 at Uttoxeter in August and kept on well enough for fifth at Plumpton latest. Could go well under good amateur.

Form: 880-725

Darsi Rose^p²²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Peter Summers⁽⁷⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 80

100/1

Little show under Rules last season and quickly back over hurdles on return. Hard to fancy.

Form: 6/068PP-

Chance It^p,t³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Luke Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 73| C

17/2

Course winner this time last year and showed a bit more back over hurdles at Hexham 5 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 1U0-354

Thomas Blossom^t²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: R C Harper| OR: 70| C

18/1

Won this 2 years ago for previous yard but has largely struggled over fences since the resumption and needs a revival.

Form: 86-0400

Forecasts

Espressino (5/2), Knight Commander (11/4), Airton (4/1), Sweeping Rock (13/2), Chance It (17/2), Thomas Blossom (18/1), Buonarotti Boy (22/1), Jetstream (22/1), Vexed (28/1), Berboru (100/1), Darsi Rose (100/1)

KNIGHT COMMANDER has won back-to-back races in the past and can follow up last week's impressive Hereford success for Sheila Lewis. Sweeping Rock and Espressino are feared.
