Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: A Crook| BF

14/1

Bolted up in course handicap hurdle last month. May have found run coming too soon at Uttoxeter only days later but others still preferred here (well held sole previous bumper).

Form: 631-219

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: Justin Landy

50/1

Seen to good effect when belatedly off the mark over hurdles at Southwell (20.5f) last month. Likely vulnerable to speedier sorts here, though.

Form: 9-F9U37

Ottonian^t1³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain JnrWS

11/4

Fairly useful Flat winner. Fair form when reaching frame over hurdles on last 3 starts. Flat ability makes him a likely type for one of these.

Form: 5334

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| CD

11/2

Capable on Flat. Placed twice in handicap hurdles prior to winning one of these 12 days ago, quickening up nicely. Ought to be bang there again.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison

10/3

Fair hurdler, winning at Uttoxeter in July. Didn't enjoy clearest of runs when fourth in similar event over C&D 12 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts again.

Forecasts

Ottonian (11/4), Dubai Days (11/4), Prussia With Love (10/3), Set In Stone (11/2), Luck Of Clover (10/1), Donald Dux (14/1), Dora De Janeiro (16/1), Joie De Vivre (16/1), Carry On (20/1), Turtle Wars (22/1), Oakmont (33/1), Dancing Doug (40/1), Lostnfound (40/1), McCrackens Gate (50/1)

OTTONIAN showed a decent level of form on the Flat this summer and is narrowly preferred to Set In Stone, who won one of these recently. Dubai Days is a strong traveller so he could be suited by the demands of a race like this. Prussia With Love would have gone close in a similar event 12 days ago but for meeting trouble so is also on the shortlist.
