Tommie Beau³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 117| BF

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.

Form: 4-11112

The Composeur³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 113

15/2

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.

Form: 641F4F

Speak Of The Devil^p,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112

7/1

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.

Form: P4-2128

Glittering Love^b1²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 112

8/1

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.

Form: 422-365

Lough Derg Farmer^p²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 107| C

12/1

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.

Form: 2P7-751

Dequall^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: W Coltherd| OR: 103| C| D

5/1

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

Form: 13-5255

Lex Talionis^p,t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 101| D

8/1

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.

Form: 1-35235

Nakadam^p²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 97| CD

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.

Form: P4-369B

Dee Star^b1,t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 96

5/1

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.

Form: 232473

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)

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.
