Off time: 17:25 | Winning time: 5m 11.27s

Holbrook Park^p,t²⁶¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-3| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 107| D

9/1

Won 3 times as a novice chaser during 2017-18 campaign but well below that level since, pulled up on 2 of his 3 starts for present yard last season.

Form: PRP/P8P-

Nachi Falls^v³³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-3| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 107

4/1

Winner of handicap hurdles under this rider at Newton Abbot and Fontwell during the summer. Below par last time but resumes in this sphere on a potentially handy mark and conditions in his favour.

Form: 556-119

Llancillo Lord^t¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Ned Fox⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 102

13/2

Successful between the flags and in a hunter chase in April 2019. However, no real impact in a couple of handicap chases since returning to action last month and probably worth taking on.

Form: 2UP2-43

Empresario⁵⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Luke Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 100| D

28/1

Multiple winner in Ireland but latest success was more than 4 years ago, and hasn't shown much in a handful of runs since joining current yard.

Form: 2303-70

Shininstar³⁰⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss L Brooke⁽³⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 90| CD

13/2

Made it 2 wins from 3 starts over fences here when landing this race last year. Ran poorly on sole subsequent start at Hereford, though, and entitled to need this run following a 10-month absence.

Form: 1471/1P-

Stupid Cupid^p1,t1²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Katie Powell⁽⁷⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 84

11/1

Landed a mares' handicap chase at Worcester (23f) off this mark last October. However, form has nosedived badly (pulled up last 3 starts) and now tried in cheekpieces/tongue strap.

Form: 127PP-P

Anti Cool^b³⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-5| J: Alex Edwards| T: R Dickin| OR: 81

5/1

Back to form on first run following a second wind op when going close at Warwick (2½m, good) last month. Remains on an attractive mark and should make his presence felt once again.

Form: 364-4P2

Grand Coureur^t,v1²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 80| D

5/2

Resumed winning ways back from a break at Southwell (20.4f) in July. Placed in Bangor handicaps won by the progressive Vocaliser since and more minor place money could be in the offing. Visor applied.

Form: 27-1232

Forecasts

Grand Coureur (5/2), Nachi Falls (4/1), Anti Cool (5/1), Llancillo Lord (13/2), Shininstar (13/2), Holbrook Park (9/1), Stupid Cupid (11/1), Empresario (28/1)

It's been a while since NACHI FALLS last tackled fences in public, but if able to translate recent hurdles form to this sphere, he will take plenty of stopping. Anti Cool bounced back with a solid effort at Warwick and a reproduction of that would put him firmly in the picture, while Grand Coureur could be in line for more minor place money.
