20/1

Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Tailed-off second of 4 in novice chase at Stratford (19.4f, good) on debut over fences 24 days ago. Lots more required now handicapping.

Delight Of Dubai²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: T J O'Brien| T: Noel Williams| OR: 121

17/2

Bagged second win of the season in 5-runner handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) 28 days ago, just holding on having lost momentum with untidy jump at last. Sure to go well again.

Form: 32-3121

Wagner^p1,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 118| BF| C

3/1

Course winner in May who returned with good second of 3 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now and highly respected off the same mark.

Form: 565-212

Shinobi^t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 111

6/1

Back on track over hurdles with handicap hurdle win at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Goes chasing now and he shouldn't be underestimated for good yard.

Form: P6-0651

Frau Georgia^p,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110

13/2

Readily opened her account over fences in 9-runner handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Up 10 lb but she has fair bit more to offer and weighted to go close again.

Form: PU35U1

Kabrit^h²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Ralph| OR: 110| CD

9/2

C&D winner in summer who arrives on back of good second of 5 in handicap chase here 27 days ago. Ought to be competitive again off an unchanged mark.

Form: 6-41142

Coral²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 108| C

11/4

Fair hurdler/chaser who landed 2m4f handicap hurdle here in June. Not discredited both runs since, so he's worth a second look back in this sphere.

Form: 4P-7136

Forecasts

Coral (11/4), Wagner (3/1), Kabrit (9/2), Shinobi (6/1), Frau Georgia (13/2), Delight Of Dubai (17/2), Clever As A Fox (20/1)

A competitive handicap but FRAU GEORGIA came good in some style over fences at Perth and still looks ahead of her mark despite being hiked up 10 lb. Delight of Dubai won with more in hand at Newton Abbot than the official head margin suggests so rates the chief danger, although Kim Bailey's fencing newcomer and recent hurdling scorer Shinobi is feared too.
