5/1
Back-to-back winner at Ffos Las during the spring and took another step forward when completing the hat-trick at Worcester in June. Latest effort was too bad to be true but, in any case, it could be that the handicapper now has his measure.

7/2
Has taken well to fences, winning three on the bounce at up to 21.6f in April/May. Just touched in a three-runner C&D novice latest, a fine effort for all that he was probably flattered by his proximity to the odds-on winner, and a bold show is likely back in handicap company.

13/8
Consistent since switched to fences, hitting the target back from a break at Plumpton in April. Chased home Lord Bryan on his next two starts prior to resuming winning ways over this C&D, and should give another good account despite going up 6 lb.

6/1
Multiple chase winner in France and went close over hurdles here eight days ago. However, well below par at Uttoxeter on Friday and he was beaten a long way on first two starts over fences for this yard last month.

5/1
Fair winning hurdler who made a successful chase debut over C&D last month, jumping soundly. Never in the hunt back here in the handicap won by Jony Max, but it wouldn't be much of a surprise were he to get back on track in first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Jony Max (13/8), Balkardy (7/2), Lord Bryan (5/1), Nelsons Rock (5/1), Defi D'Oudairies (6/1)

Verdict

The form of the Ffos Las handicap BALKARDY won in May is working out well (second and third have won since) and he subsequently lost little caste in defeat when beaten under a length by Hell Red on his first crack at this trip in a C&D novice. On that evidence, the 5-y-o remains feasibly treated back in a handicap and he gets the nod ahead of the in-form Jony Max. Nelsons Rock was well adrift of Jony Max here last time, but he is worth another chance given the promise of his chase debut success.
