9/4

Temperamental sort who turned in a below par effort when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, good) back in May. Has gone well fresh though, so can't be discounted on his return.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 121

5/1

In good nick when last seen out, still going well when falling 5 out in 3m handicap chase at Southwell 98 days ago. Has won twice after an absence, so he merits serious consideration.

Form: 01/37-2F

Gleno¹⁹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 120| D

10/3

Better than ever in the spring, gamely landing 3m handicap chase at Chepstow. Needs considering given he has also a very good record when fresh.

Rose Of Aghaboe¹⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 117| D

3/1

Three-time winner around 3m last term but she signed off with a poor seventh at Cheltenham 6 months ago. Needs to his the ground running on her comeback.

6/1

Dual 23f winner last season but he returned with a poor ninth at Chepstow (3m) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now with a bit to prove.

Form: 11439-9

Forecasts

Larkbarrow Lad (9/4), Rose Of Aghaboe (3/1), Gleno (10/3), What's Occurring (5/1), From The Heart (6/1)

WHAT'S OCCURRING looks the way to go here given he returns on a handy-looking mark and also has an excellent record when fresh. Gleno has also won off a break before though so is feared most with Larkbarrow Lad not ruled out either if on a going day on his comeback.
