Mr Mafia^p¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 117| D

3/1

Veteran chaser who has been in good form and recorded his first win for nearly 2 years at Market Rasen (3m) 15 days ago by 3½l from Wishfull Dreaming. Up 5 lb but likely to go well again.

Cage Of Fear^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 112| D

12/1

Successful at Perth (3m) last September for Fergal O'Brien and not disgraced on his yard debut after a break when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f) 30 days ago. Not ruled out.

Form: 1862-54

Kabrit^h²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Ralph| OR: 110| D

2/1

Maiden hurdler but he has made an excellent start over fences with smooth handicap victories at Worcester and Uttoxeter. Has 5 lb rise to overcome but another bold showing is very much on the cards.

Form: 326-411

Gangster^t⁵⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: T Scudamore| T: W Greatrex| OR: 110| D

28/1

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark in convincing fashion over fences at Hexham in March. Hasn't come close to that level in 3 starts since though so others are preferred.

Form: P615-52

Wishfull Dreaming^b,t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 109| BF

9/2

Winless since 2019 but veteran has finished runner-up on his last two starts, set plenty to do behind Mr Mafia at Market Rasen (3m) on latter occasion. Much respected in a change of headgear.

Form: 5-94422

O'Grady's Boy⁵⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Immy Robinson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 107

11/1

Best effort when second in 3m1f Cartmel hunter on chase debut in June. Has looked limited over hurdles otherwise, pulled up in handicap there last time. Needs lot more back in this sphere.

Form: P/968-2P

Out For Justice^t⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 105| CD

5/1

Bagged handicaps at Chepstow and Worcester in April and further progress when second at Ffos Las in June. Modest effort at Worcester last time but this C&D winner is sort to bounce back.

Form: 711-429

Forecasts

Kabrit (2/1), Mr Mafia (3/1), Wishfull Dreaming (9/2), Out For Justice (5/1), O'Grady's Boy (11/1), Cage Of Fear (12/1), Gangster (28/1)

A few with chances but KABRIT hasn't looked back since switched to chasing and he is taken to defy a 5 lb rise and make it 3-3 in this code after his stylish Uttoxeter success. Wishfull Dreaming is fancied to turn the tables on his Market Rasen conqueror Mr Mafia on 4 lb better terms and they look the duo to chase home Alastair Ralph's improving 6-y-o.
