8/11

Dual hurdles winner last term and promising start over fences following a wind op when third in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap. Got no further than the first at Exeter since but worth another chance.

Form: 2113-3U

Emir Sacree²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 132| BF

11/8

Handicap hurdle winner last winter on coming over from France and bettered that form when making all in Carlisle chase on return. Good second at Doncaster since, although he did make late mistakes.

Form: 2F/16-12

New Age Dawning^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 122

10/1

Winner of 2 of his 3 starts during 2018/19, including a 3m Chepstow novice hurdle. Pulled up in an Exeter handicap chase on his return from a 33-month absence so can only really be watched at present.

Form: 2121/P

Forecasts

Gustavian (8/11), Emir Sacree (11/8), Easy As That (9/4), Downtown Getaway (7/2), Barnaviddaun (8/1), New Age Dawning (10/1)

GUSTAVIAN is worth another chance to build on the promise of his Uttoxeter chase debut so he receives the vote. Nicky Henderson's Emir Sacree has run 2 sound races this season and should also have a say.
