12/1

Returning from 16-month absence when good second over 2m at Wetherby in March. Unable to build on that since, finding little back from wind op at Wetherby 33 days ago. Headgear back on.

Failed to progress for Alan King and well held on second start for this yard on return last month.

Pearl Warrior^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 108

7/4

Four-time winner on the Flat in Ireland. Patchy form on the level for new yard this year but built on hurdles bow when third here 3 weeks ago and may do better again now handicapping.

33/1

Firmly on the downgrade on the Flat and expensive to follow over hurdles. Others preferred.

6/4

Improved performer on the Flat this summer and made a successful transition to hurdling at Fontwell. Good second under a penalty at Ffos Las next time and opening mark looks a good one.

7/1

Not straightforward and was again disappointing (had his supporters) at Wetherby when last seen in March.

50/1

Cashed in on reduced mark to land a gamble at Catterick. However, not the most reliable and unsurprisingly failed to back that up next 2 starts. Off 8 months and has left Micky Hammond.

GEORGE BANCROFT brought up a cross-code hat-trick when making a successful debut over hurdles at Fontwell and was rather unlucky to bump into a lively newcomer when bidding to follow up at Ffos Las. His opening mark probably underestimates him and he can resume winning ways. Pearl Warrior stepped up on his hurdles bow when third over C&D and should have more to offer given his Flat ability.
