10/3
Continued on upgrade as he completed a 4-timer sent chasing after 5 months off in 3m Fakenham handicap in October. Backed that up with a good second at Fontwell 5 weeks ago and remains of interest.

Readily opened his account over fences at Southwell in June but let down by jumping since, in the process of running well when departing 4 out at Worcester latest.

Both career wins came over 3m at Hexham, including in June. Matched that form when runner-up over C&D in October. Struggled in a deeper race at Haydock since but this more his level. Claims.

Winner of all 4 starts over fences as a novice during 2018/19 campaign. Hasn't added to his tally since and not much encouragement last time but mark has been eased again and blinkers now tried.

Unreliable type but revived suddenly when taking advantage of a much-reduced mark at Hexham last month, all out. Remains to be seen if he can back that up, though.

Consistent over hurdles but didn't relish his first attempt over fences at Musselburgh last week so questions to answer now. Cheekpieces re-fitted.

Left clear at the last when opening his chase account at Chepstow in April. That's his sole success from 21 starts over fences, though, and latest effort at Sedgefield wasn't one of his better ones.

14/1
Veteran chaser who has been badly out of sorts this year, though seemed to be going with a bit more vim back from a break when coming down through no fault of his own at Hexham last month.

Maiden hunter chase winner in 2019 who quickly bounced back in change of headgear when third to Lough Derg Farmer in handicap chase at Hexham (31.9f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Tried in blinkers now.

Forecasts

Tommie Beau (10/3), Dee Star (5/1), Dequall (5/1), Speak Of The Devil (7/1), The Composeur (15/2), Glittering Love (8/1), Lex Talionis (8/1), Lough Derg Farmer (12/1), Nakadam (14/1)

Verdict

TOMMIE BEAU went close to completing a 5-timer at Fontwell and this progressive sort remains of interest. Speak of The Devil will find this easier than Haydock so can quickly bounce back, while The Composeur could get involved if putting in a better round of jumping over this longer trip.
