Useful Irish chaser at his best but winless now since 2018. Yet to fire in three runs for his new yard, only seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Stratford (17f) 96 days ago. Plenty more is needed.

Scored at Kelso and posted good third in Cartmel handicap chase later in May, spoiling chance with bad mistake 3 out. Has won off a break before, so he needs considering.

Resumed with success in 2m Newton Abbot handicap in July but not at his best when remote third of 7 at Stratford (17f) 29 days ago. Appeals as the type to bounce back quickly, though.

It's now seventeen runs since his last win in 2019, and blundered 3 out when fair fourth in Bangor handicap chase at Bangor (17.4f) in April. Weighted to go well on his return.

Forecasts

Crooks Peak (2/1), Fort De L'Ocean (3/1), Darling Du Large (10/3), Valence D'Aumont (10/3), Thecraicisninety (22/1)

Verdict

Only five runners, but a trappy handicap in which the handily-weighted CROOKS PEAK is taken to make a winning return and end a long losing run for the top Skelton team. In-form Fort de L'Ocean has his fitness proven and is feared most, although both Valence d'Aumont and Darling du Large can make their presence felt too.

  1. CROOKS PEAK
  2. FORT DE L'OCEAN (FR)
  3. VALENCE D'AUMONT (FR)
