Enjoying a good spell, resuming winning ways over fences at Bangor (3m) before a fair run over hurdles. 3 lb higher back chasing on first run at Uttoxeter. Couldn't be dismissed.

The Golden Rebel²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 128| BF

4/1

Scored at Doncaster in December off a similar mark and should have come on for Bangor return 3 weeks ago. Not discounted.

12/1

Notched 3 wins around 3m in the first half of last season but lightly raced since, offering little after another absence at Worcester 12 weeks ago. Probably one to note when the subject of market support.

Judge Earle⁶^{(ex 7)}

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 110| CD

3/1

Has thrived since the switch to front-running tactics, notching his fifth win of the summer over fences in C&D handicap last week. Up in grade under a penalty now but got to be respected in this form.

14/1

Completed hat-trick over hurdles at Perth last year for Justin Landy but has largely struggled back over fences for current yard who remain quiet. Cheekpieces tried now.

15/2

Won the Rowland Meyrick Chase at Wetherby in 2020/21 but below par since falling in 2021 Grand National, including on both runs for this yard. Watch the betting.

Kinondo Kwetu⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 112| D

3/1

Really getting the hang of things now under Rules and, having appealed as the sort to make a better chaser (won both starts in points earlier in career), justified good support on his return in Market Rasen handicap 6 weeks ago. Sure to progress further.

Forecasts

Kinondo Kwetu (3/1), Judge Earle (3/1), The Golden Rebel (4/1), Red Happy (5/1), Canelo (15/2), Topofthecotswolds (8/1), Quartz Du Rheu (12/1), Shetland Bus (14/1)

KINONDO KWETU won with a bit in hand on his handicap chase debut at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago and could go on improving for a while yet. He can take this step up in class in his stride with another victory. The thriving Judge Earle is up in grade but has to be feared. Red Happy also has a shout.
