9/1

Resumed winning ways over hurdles at Worcester (20f) in May and back at that level when runner-up at that venue in July. However, well beaten over fences at Bangor on his latest start.

Form: 3-10426

Yeavering Belle^p,t1⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 126| D

10/3

Fairly useful hurdler and promise when second in a C&D novice chase in May. Yet to be asked for her effort when unseating 5 out at Southwell (3m) since and likely she can do better yet over fences.

Form: 10P8-2U

Quartz Du Rheu⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: K Brogan⁽⁵⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 123| CD

11/8

Useful hurdler for Willie Mullins who capitalised on sliding mark over fences with a convincing C&D victory in July, well on top at the finish. Likely player once again.

Form: 564-451

Kabrit^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Ralph| OR: 110| BF| CD

7/2

Maiden hurdler but he has made an excellent start over fences, boasting victories over C&D/Uttoxeter in recent months. Not seen to best effect at Bangor latest and not dismissed from this mark.

Form: 26-4114

Forecasts

Quartz Du Rheu (11/8), Yeavering Belle (10/3), Kabrit (7/2), Shoal Bay (7/1), Asockastar (9/1)

A useful operator over hurdles in Ireland, QUARTZ DU RHEU took advantage of a drop in the weights when getting off the mark in good style in a C&D handicap chase in July. The manner of that victory suggests he can go well again and he earns the vote to follow up. Kabrit and Yeavering Belle may emerge as the chief threats.
