9/4
Prolific in sellers this season, beating several of these rivals (including Chef de Troupe) along the way. Added another to his tally in comfortable style at Wetherby last time, so big claims again.

5/1
Improved to win handicap at Perth and claimer at Huntingdon (both 2m). Sent off odds-on to complete the hat-trick at Leicester 142 days ago but was disappointing behind Paricolor.

9/1
Veteran who has run respectably at this level the last twice, third of 6 to Paricolor at Wetherby a month ago. Hard to see him turning the tables.

Low-mileage 9-y-o who looked ill at ease on the track when seventh of 11 in a jumpers bumper at Newcastle 113 days ago. Unlikely to make an impact even if back on his game.

Fair in bumpers and similar form when on his game over hurdles. Latest effort in handicap at Perth was disappointing but blinkers are tried 9 days on.

Fair but untrustworthy Flat winner. No impact on both hurdling outings to date, and has plenty to find.

Plumpton winner in the mud for Mick Channon last season. Struggling for form of late, including back on the Flat at Southwell 5 days ago. Makes little appeal.

Fair form over hurdles for Alan King in 2018 but subsequent form (for Denis Hogan prior to latest outing) has been pretty dismal.

Is a long time without a win and seemed amiss when pulled up in handicap at Newcastle 3 weeks ago. Hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Paricolor (9/4), Largy Mouth (9/4), Chef De Troupe (5/1), Poucor (15/2), Let's Sway (17/2), Chieftain's Choice (9/1), Garde Forestier (33/1), Shannon Hill (66/1), My Boy Lewis (66/1), Kennedys Field (100/1)

Verdict

PARICOLOR has been reliable in this sphere and got the better of Chef de Troupe earlier in the season, so he's fancied to confirm his authority for all the pair are closely matched on form. Chieftain's Choice, who was third to the selection last time, is also respected.

  1. PARICOLOR (FR)
  2. CHEF DE TROUPE (FR)
  3. CHIEFTAIN'S CHOICE (IRE)
