Minella Trump²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 127| C| D

4/6

Very much back on song with handicap hurdle/chase wins here this summer. It was a match race over fences last time but he did it easily and he can go well again back up in trip.

Form: 5332-11

Lord Napier^p¹⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 127| C

9/4

Useful stayer who contested some good races last season, last seen finishing well beaten in good Newbury handicap hurdle. Has been given a fair chance in the weights on return and could strike.

Form: 842548-

Frankies Fire³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Walton| OR: 69| D

80/1

Multiple point winner who is a poor hurdler and she's achieved little in 2 runs over fences, latest here 5 weeks ago. No appeal from miles out of the handicap.

Form: 3-20567

Forecasts

Minella Trump (4/6), Lord Napier (9/4), Hewick (6/1), Frankies Fire (80/1)

LORD NAPIER makes strong appeal on a couple of bits of last season's chase form and he's taken to open his account in this sphere on his return from what looks a good mark. It's a close call between Minella Trump and Irish-runner Hewick for the forecast.
