Aubusson³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 12-2| J: Chester Williams⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 117

14/1

Now 3 lb lower than when dominating a 5-runner Lingfield handicap chase last December but he's not the easiest to catch right and his reappearance at the end of August wasn't obviously encouraging.

Form: 12572-P

Sandy Boy^v¹¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 113

3/1

Not one to set your watch by, but was on good behaviour when opening chase account at Worcester in May. Not in the same form when fourth there a month later but capable of playing prominent role here.

Form: PP63-14

Mister Tickle^b,t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 112| CD

5/6

Has clicked with blinkers enlisted the last twice, bagging handicap chases from the front at Newton Abbot and over this C&D. A further 3 lb rise may not prevent the hat-trick.

Form: 6-74511

Marble Moon^t,v³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 105| D

8/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark at Ffos Las in May but been well below that level since. Bounce back needed.

Form: 52-1564

Bonanza Sam¹⁷⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Alexander Thorne| T: J Mason| OR: 101

8/1

Winning pointer who seemed transformed by 3m and blinkers when springing a surprise at Exeter in March. In nowhere near the same form when remote sixth at Sedgefield a month later. Off since.

Form: 2/0P016-

Forecasts

Mister Tickle (5/6), Sandy Boy (3/1), Marble Moon (8/1), Bonanza Sam (8/1), Aubusson (14/1)

Most of these have form/fitness questions to answer so this could represent a good opportunity for Gary Moore's MISTER TICKLE to complete a hat-trick. Sandy Boy gets the vote to fill the forecast spot.
