Off time: 18:59 | Winning time: 6m 33.70s

Storm Lorenzo⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies| OR: 101| CD

3/1

Fair maiden hurdler who made a winning start over fences over C&D in June. Excellent second at Uttoxeter a month later and seems sure to go well again from 1 lb higher.

Form: 469-132

Larry Looby^p¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 98| CD

11/2

Going through a tremendous spell, completing the 4-timer in 3-runner contest at Sedgefield 2 weeks ago, displaying a willing attitude. Up just 1 lb and while this is harder, he's likely to give it his all.

Form: 941111

Kauto D'Amour³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Willmott⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 98

8/1

Successful twice over hurdles and easily best effort over fences from his reduced mark when runner-up at Market Rasen in July. Task is to now build on that.

Form: F760-P2

Mah Mate Bob¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 96| C

7/2

10-y-o but clearly retains plenty of enthusiasm, arriving here in pursuit of a hat-trick following a brace of Cartmel wins. 2 lb rise won't prevent another bold bid.

Form: 33-2711

Henry Brown^p⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Callum Bewley| T: H Burns| OR: 82

11/1

Regressive for Noel Meade but has posted a few creditable efforts for his current yard, keeping on for third behind Larry Looby over C&D in June. Off since.

Form: 47-7233

Abington Park^p1²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 81| C

3/1

Gained his breakthrough win over hurdles here a year ago and matched that level when placed next 2 starts at up to 25f. Didn't go with too much promise on last month's chase debut and cheekpieces now on.

Form: 1320-67

Hidden Cargo⁸⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Ross Chapman| T: J C Haynes| OR: 78| CD

33/1

Finally got off the mark at the 31st time of asking when seeing off 5 rivals in a weak C&D handicap in March but predictably not in the same form since.

Form: 6218-P8

Amber Run^b1,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 67

22/1

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser and recent efforts suggest he's unlikely to land a first career success here from out of the weights.

Form: P-44459

Forecasts

Abington Park (3/1), Storm Lorenzo (3/1), Mah Mate Bob (7/2), Larry Looby (11/2), Kauto D'Amour (8/1), Henry Brown (11/1), Amber Run (22/1), Hidden Cargo (33/1)

STORM LORENZO pushed another in-form rival close at Uttoxeter when last seen in July and with his yard continuing to churn out winners, he could be the answer. Mah Mate Bob and Larry Looby both arrive on the back of winning sequences and are feared most.
