Summit Like Herbie²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 112| D

6/4

Landed 3m Doncaster handicap last term but followed encouraging Ffos Las reappearance with modest fourth in 22f handicap at Stratford when made mistakes. Unreliable but well in the mix if in the mood.

Form: 6231-34

Path To Freedom²⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 110| D

25/1

Points winner but very lightly-raced maiden chaser. Makes handicap debut after long absence and others much preferred.

Form: 1/P3325-

Nobel Leader²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans| OR: 107| C| D

9/1

Fair winning chaser in early 2019 but lightly raced since and below par after wind op when eighth in 19f Wetherby handicap on return. Course winner but has bit to prove.

Form: 112/53-8

Lough Salt^v1³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 105| D

11/2

Winless since 2017, and pulled up on two of his last three outings, in 25f handicap at Cheltenham last time. This is easier and visor is reached for now but others still appeal more.

Form: 7-23P2P

Dubai Outlaw^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 98

5/2

Enjoying excellent season and made it 3-4 with successful start over fences in 21f Stratford handicap chase 16 days ago. Hiked up 11 lb but has more to offer so another bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 50-11P1

Ecossais^t,v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 97

11/2

Fair winning chaser in France but has offered little for present connections, tried visored when remote sixth of 11 in 26f handicap at Sedgefield 12 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 437456

DUBAI OUTLAW is the only one of the field on an upward curve so is taken to follow up his convincing debut fencing win at Stratford and make it 4-5 for the season. Summit LIke Herbie is a capable chaser when in the mood so rates the chief threat although Lough Salt is not ruled out either if the fitting of a visor sparks a resurgence.
