Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 128| D

1/3

Successful twice over hurdles this year and looked a natural when making a winning chase debut at Kempton (20.5f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Up 11 lb, but should have more to offer in this sphere.

Form: 4-13151

Ballinsker^p1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 110| C

9/4

Point winner who notched second hurdles success at Southwell in June. However, he hasn't shown much since switched to fences and was behind Brief Ambition at Kempton recently. Cheekpieces enlisted.

Form: 41P455

Forecasts

Brief Ambition (1/3), Ballinsker (9/4), Silver Star (8/1)

Though up 11 lb for his Kempton chase debut success, BRIEF AMBITION looked good that day and he should have little trouble in again dispatching with Ballinsker, who was well behind the selection at Kempton and hasn't shown much of an aptitude for this game so far. Silver Star is 0-7 over fences and looks set for another struggle starting out for a new yard.
