Off time: 14:22 | Winning time: 5m 7.5s

Neville's Cross³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 133| C

6/4

Did well over hurdles last season and put it all together at fourth attempt in this sphere when landing 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (20f) in July. Kept the errors down when also going in at Exeter.

Form: FF5171

Lord Bryan^p,t³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: R T Dunne| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 118| CD

12/1

Unreliable type who ended a losing run stretching more than 2 years in 6-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen in June. Failed to fire all 3 starts since so hard to warm to as a betting proposition.

Form: 3P-1PP6

Lost In Montmartre^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 108| CD

4/6

Winning hurdler in France who, on the back of pair of placed efforts resumed winning ways over fences here last month, well served by positive tactics on firmer ground. Can follow up.

Form: 7P3331

Forecasts

Lost In Montmartre (4/6), Neville's Cross (6/4), Lord Bryan (12/1)

LOST IN MONTMARTRE reacted well to forceful tactics when successful over C&D last month, and given she retains scope on her French form, the follow up may well be on the cards in another small field. Lord Byran has never been an easy one to predict so Neville's Cross would be the obvious one for the runner-up spot.
