Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 119

7/4

Fair hurdler who, in line with yard's excellent form, took a step forward to open chase account at Hexham early last month. Confirmed that improvement when runner-up next time so merits respect again.

Trooper Turnbull¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Dobbin| OR: 117| BF

6/5

Off the mark over hurdles when landing odds in maiden at Kelso last December and showed aptitude for chasing on return when a close third 18 days ago. Winner has gone in again so highly respected.

Form: 26/213-3

Burrows Diamond¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 116

4/1

Improved form over hurdles during the spring, winning a brace of handicaps, and made an encouraging debut in this sphere when second at Hexham on return. Not so good last time so must bounce back.

Form: F311-26

Near Kettering^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 110

22/1

Scored at Market Rasen in August and, despite some lesser efforts on the Flat subsequently, supplemented that at Carlisle last month, just holding on. Others make more appeal on his chase debut.

Form: 89-4115

Forecasts

Trooper Turnbull (6/5), Away At Dawn (7/4), Burrows Diamond (4/1), Near Kettering (22/1)

TROOPER TURNBULL was well backed and showed plenty of aptitude for chasing when third at Kelso on return earlier this month, sure to have finished second but for a blunder at the last. Rose Dobbin's charge should come on plenty from that and, with improvement on the cards, he can open his account over fences. Away At Dawn beat Burrows Diamond last time and he can confirm those placings here.
