Tis Fantastic^t⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: M Blake| OR: 98

13/2

Made promising start over fences when opening his account in Stratford handicap chase (19.4f) in August, making most and jumping well. 6 lb rise fair enough and he should have more to offer.

Form: 722P-P1

Joly Maker²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 96| BF| D

3/1

Resumed winning ways at Bangor (20.3f) in August prior to hitting the crossbar at Fontwell. Another solid effort when third over 2m at Ffos Las last time and one to consider off the same mark.

Form: 5-612B3

Spirit Of Hale^p²⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 89

20/1

Bounced back to form and belatedly capitalised on much-reduced mark at Sedgefield (26f) in February. Respectable third at Wetherby since and not sure this drop back in trip will aid his cause.

Form: 454813-

City Never Sleeps^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 88

7/1

Modest maiden over hurdles, but put in a good shift off this mark when third on second start in this sphere at Bangor (20.3f) last month. High on the shortlist.

Form: 2/622-53

Royal Act²³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 85

12/1

Three-time winner over fences, but ended last season on a downer and opposable back from a 7-month break.

Form: P22557-

Glorious Boru¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: W Featherstone| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 85

10/1

Improved effort when runner-up at Warwick on third start over fences in February, but well below that level in 2 subsequent starts.

Form: 0362P-7

Torrent Des Mottes^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: J R Cornwall| OR: 81| D

50/1

Back to form when taking advantage of a career-low mark at Huntingdon in March. However, overall record is very patchy indeed, and he looked cooked when falling 3 out on recent reappearance.

Form: 66451-U

El Scorpio²⁹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 81

9/1

Modest maiden hurdler and pulled up both starts since switched to fences.

Form: 5366/PP-

Chatelier^p1,t³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: David England| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 80

7/1

Modest hurdles winner who has performed respectably on each of his 4 starts over fences. Down to a career-low mark and he's in with an each-way shout.

Form: 43/U9-44

Indian Harbour^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 80

25/1

Winless following 11 attempts over hurdles and didn't show much on chase debut at Bangor.

Form: B/P84-36

Go Hard Or Go Home^b,t⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 79

7/1

Blinkered when showing first form to win 21f handicap chase at Hereford in March. However, failed to complete both starts this summer and opposable on balance.

Form: 8PP1-FP

Trimmers Lane²³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 79

40/1

Winning pointer but has shown just poor form over hurdles/fences to date.

Form: P185P6-

Cnoc Sion^p⁸⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: R Brotherton| OR: 69| D

66/1

Winner of Bangor handicap chase 2 years ago, his sole success from 22 starts under Rules. 3 lb 'wrong' at the weights here and it's best to look elsewhere.

Form: 5/27P5-P

Taboo²²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: James Davies| T: M Young| OR: 67

80/1

Remains a maiden following 22 NH runs and set for another struggle from 5 lb out of the handicap proper.

TIS FANTASTIC immediately improved on what he showed over hurdles when making a winning debut in this sphere at Stratford, producing an assured round of jumping.There should be more to come from this 5-y-o and he gets the nod ahead of City Never Sleeps and Joly Maker.
