Tallow For Coal³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 116| BF

10/3

Point winner who displayed fair form in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles last season. Promising start over fences when third at Newton Abbot last month and the form has been boosted since. Respected.

Form: 1/233-3

The Composeur²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 115| D

16/1

Readily opened his account over fences at Southwell in June but he fell at Uttoxeter the following month and was let down by his jumping when remote fourth at Kempton last month.

Form: 1-641F4

Jobsonfire²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: S Allwood| OR: 113

14/1

Won 3 hurdles in early-2020 but failed to reach the same heights in only 3 outings last term and he was beaten a long way out on last month's C&D chase debut after wind surgery. Can only be watched.

Form: 11/3P6-P

Rapid Flight³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 112| BF

17/2

Southwell maiden hurdle winner in May but has posted a couple of disappointing runs in handicaps since, the latter when switched to fences after wind surgery. Something to prove for now.

Form: 53-F106

Ecossais^t,v¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 112

16/1

Won 3 times at Southwell last season. Unseated early on Wetherby return. Consistent sort who is likely to give his running.

Form: 13312-U

Cesar Et Rosalie^p,t³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 108

16/1

Eased plenty in the weights and finally capitalised when getting on top close home at Bangor (3m) in July. Two lacklustre displays since, though.

Form: 7-5415P

That's The Badger²⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR: 108

12/1

Offered some promise over hurdles last season and is bred for chasing. Interesting to see if there's any confidence behind him in the betting on his return from 8 months off.

Form: 0/79939-

In The Detail¹⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: C Gethings| T: P R Webber| OR: 107

18/1

Showed he can be competitive from this sort of mark when fourth over hurdles in May. Switches to fences on his return to action (placed in point at start of career).

Form: 3/0436-4

Head On^t,v⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 100| CD

7/4

Won over C&D on first 2 chase starts and wasted no time bouncing back from a poor run at Perth when eased down to score by 3 lengths at Warwick a week ago. Can defy penalty.

Form: 5211P1

Carlow Farmer^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 106

22/1

Winning pointer. Pulled up on his chase debut in February but was in the process of showing more, albeit fading in third, when unseating 2 out in 3m Uttoxeter handicap on return.

Form: P/P3PP-U

Cardboard Gangster^p,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 104

14/1

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser, although he wasn't at his best when third of 5 in a 21f hurdle last time. Second in a chase over this trip in Ireland in May. First start over fences for this yard.

Form: 82-2323

Forecasts

Head On (7/4), Tallow For Coal (10/3), Rapid Flight (17/2), That's The Badger (12/1), Jobsonfire (14/1), Cardboard Gangster (14/1), Ecossais (16/1), Cesar Et Rosalie (16/1), The Composeur (16/1), In The Detail (18/1), Carlow Farmer (22/1)

HEAD ON had plenty in hand at Warwick last Friday and can make light of a penalty and take his chase record to an impressive 4 wins from 5 starts. Tallow For Coal shaped encouragingly on hs chase debut at Newton Abbot last month and should have more to offer so he's feared most ahead of Oliver Greenall's Ecossais, who was largely consistent in similar company last term.
