7/2

Fairly useful chaser. Yet to hit top form this term but latest hurdle run wasn't too bad and he's starting to look well handicapped again.

Form: P63646-

11/4

Took advantage of his much-reduced mark here (19f) in May but had the run of the race and below par on both completed starts since.

Form: P3-165U

River Frost⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 115| CD

8/1

Mark in freefall but there's little obvious sign he's ready to take advantage, finishing a remote third back chasing here (17f) a week ago. Would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 86-9473

Pardon Me³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 110

6/5

Has got her act together over fences this summer, winning over 2½m at Uttoxeter and Perth in July. Further 5 lb rise may not prevent the hat-trick.

Form: 3P-3811

Forecasts

Pardon Me (6/5), Instant Replay (11/4), Luckofthedraw (7/2), River Frost (8/1)

PARDON ME is the only one who arrives obviously at the top of her game and is selected to complete a hat-trick. There were slightly better signs from Luckofthedraw last time so he's feared most.
