Fairly useful at his best on Flat and over hurdles but he arrives below par, only ninth at Carlistle last time. Others make more appeal.

Scored in Southwell handicap in July and didn't enjoy smoothest of runs when seventh of 17 at Cheltenham (16.4f) last time. Can race off 2 lb lower mark here so he's shortlisted.

Forecasts

Haafapiece (15/8), Albert's Back (4/1), Theatre Legend (5/1), Ilaya (9/1), Multellie (12/1), Valentino Dancer (12/1), Torigni (14/1), Saint Freule (16/1), St Gallen (16/1)

Verdict

HAAFAPIECE looks the way to go as he is still on the up and is fancied to build on his promising reappearance fourth here when late mistakes cost him his winning chance. Ilaya is much respected for last year's victorious yard and St Gallen is also worth a second look, while a market move for the unexposed Torigni would see him enter the reckoning too.

  1. HAAFAPIECE
  2. ILAYA (FR)
  3. ST GALLEN (IRE)
