Aye Aye Charlie¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-1| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 112| CD

3/1

Cashed in a falling mark on third start for this yard over C&D 17 days ago by 9½ lengths from Easyrun de Vassy. Allowed to dictate that day but this is another small field.

Form: 63-8561

Decoration Of War⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽³⁾| T: M Young| OR: 104

15/8

Dual AW Flat winner and has displayed surprising levels of stamina over hurdles, winning handicaps at Cartmel and Uttoxeter. Upped further in trip but hard to rule him out in hat-trick bid.

Form: 533211

Easyrun De Vassy^p,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁶⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 109| D

9/2

Made a winning start over fences at Fontwell last August and back at that level with a brace of runner-up efforts over C&D in recent weeks. Back on correct mark and looks well treated.

Form: 17-3P22

Kendelu^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Buckley| T: N J Hawke| OR: 95| C

12/1

Successful 3 times over shorter trips during second half of last year. No impact both starts this term so more to prove than most tackling a new distance.

Form: 3348-00

Whatsthecraicjack⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 88

16/1

In good hands but little to get excited about in 4 starts in 2019. Very likely he needed the run on July's C&D reappearance.

Form: 9098/3

Valentino^p⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 75

9/2

Unexposed and first worthwhile form when second of 9 over 21.6f here in July. That race worked out quite well but he is 8 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 8U5-2

Forecasts

Decoration Of War (15/8), Aye Aye Charlie (3/1), Valentino (9/2), Easyrun De Vassy (9/2), Kendelu (12/1), Whatsthecraicjack (16/1)

EASYRUN DE VASSY excelled himself when runner-up from 10 lb out of the weights here 11 days ago and now looks well treated back on his correct mark. Hat-trick seeking Decoration of War has displayed surprising reserves of stamina given his pedigree and Flat background and looks the main danger.
