Seven De Baune³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: T Scudamore| T: Ian Williams| OR: 125

15/8

Fairly useful winning hurdler (at 21f) and similar form over fences. Wasted what had looked a good opportunity with the favourite out the way at Hexham last month but should remain competitive.

Form: 22/3U3-2

Sunset Showdown^b⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 123

3/1

Won 3 small-field novice hurdles in 2019. Isn't straightforward, though not disgraced both chase starts back from 5 months off this summer.

Form: 50/33-43

Saint De Reve^t⁷⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 123| BF| D

11/10

Opened chase account at Chepstow (23.6f) in April (pair of rivals failed to finish). Ran just respectably off the same mark at Kempton a month later but this is less competitive.

Form: PU221-3

Forecasts

Saint De Reve (11/10), Seven De Baune (15/8), Sunset Showdown (3/1), Follow The Bear (5/1)

SAINT DE REVE is still on a handy mark and this is less competitive than the race he contested at Kempton in May, so he looks the way to go. Seven de Baune is second choice.
