La Domaniale³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 130

15/8

Promising sort who found further improvement when close second of 14 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) 33 days ago. 5 lb higher now but may have more to offer yet.

Form: 43-1212

Destrier^t⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 130

5/1

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark in 20f handicap chase at Aintree in May and backed that up with good third at Uttoxeter (20f). Fell early on latest and could be a player here.

Form: 4F5-13F

Larch Hill³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 125| C

16/5

Bagged fourth win from last 7 starts when taking 5-runner handicap chase at this course (17f, good) 32 days ago, always holding on. 3 lb rise fair and ought to go well again.

Form: 15-5141

De Barley Basket^t⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 117WS

6/1

Won 4 of his last 5 starts prior to pulling up (said to have made a respiratory noise) at Worcester last month. Tongue strap reapplied now and clearly comes with some risks attached. Had wind operation.

Form: 11P/11P

Rostello^p,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 115| C

15/2

Back on scoreboard over this course (22.6f, good) last month but rather found out in deeper contest at Market Rasen since and is on a career-high mark now.

Form: 31P-418

Admiral's Sunset^p,t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Page Fuller| T: D Weston| OR: 106| C

14/1

Course winner who bounced back to form when runner-up here (17f) in June. Below that level at Worcester since, however, and has never scored over this sort of trip before.

Form: 547-U23
