Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 105| D

Clondaw Pretender^t¹³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Turner⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 100

Joly Maker⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 99| CD

4/1

Cashed in on a reduced mark when bagging 9-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good) in May. Backed that up when second at Newton Abbot (21f) next time and excuses at Uttoxeter since.

Form: 443-126

Madam Deluxe^t¹⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Alexander Thorne| T: J Mason| OR: 92

22/1

Showed ability in novice hurdle sole start for Nicky Henderson in November 2019 but little to shout about in 5 runs for current stable. Makes chase debut (runner-up sole start in Irish points).

Form: 4/078P-4

Forecasts

Northern Bound (4/1), Joly Maker (4/1), Cape Robin (9/2), Out For Justice (11/2), Clondaw Pretender (13/2), Arcade Attraction (9/1), Vocaliser (9/1), Bit On The Side (20/1), Madam Deluxe (22/1)

ARCADE ATTRACTION wasn't seen to best effect in a muddling event at Ffos Las when last seen in June and remains on a handy mark on his best form. Out For Justice was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot here 6 weeks ago and rates the main threat ahead of Joly Maker, who had excuses at Uttoxeter last time.
