Fair 17f winner over hurdles who returned after 16 months off with good second at Catterick. About 3 lengths down on winner when falling at last there since. Remains of interest off same mark.

8/1

Maiden who has been perked up a visor though did find good run coming to a halt at Southwell last time. Back from a break here but not one to trust.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 96

5/1

Modest maiden hurdler/chaser who got back on track when second in a weak event over fences at Carlisle. Not disgraced here next time and player back down in class.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 95

17/2

Off the mark in 2½m Sedgefield handicap hurdle on final run of last season. However, just the one respectable effort this term and now goes chasing (maiden Irish pointer).

Gris De Pron^h,t⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Alan Johns| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 80

11/2

Well held in 2 hurdle runs during the summer and, having re-joined former yard shaped as if needing the run back over fences at Southwell in December. This should reveal more.

Made good start for this yard when third in handicap chase at Bangor on return in July but has subsequently failed to build on that, well held at Catterick latest.

Silken Moonlight¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: D R Fox| T: W Coltherd| OR: 73

Poor form in various race types and she's hard to make a case for from out of the weights on chase bow.

Form: 086087

Rann Of Kutch⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 66

Forecasts

Go To Court (9/2), Dexcite (9/2), Rollerruler (5/1), Gris De Pron (11/2), Champion Chase (15/2), Shady Oaks (8/1), Follow Your Fire (17/2), Pure Country (10/1), Silken Moonlight (22/1), Rann Of Kutch (200/1)

DEXCITE has shaped well on both his starts this season and looks capable of winning off this mark in this sphere. Rollerruler is another to consider back down in class, while Gris de Pron is becoming well treated.
