Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 121| CD

10/11

Dual 2m hurdle winner this summer who is already a better chaser, supplementing his Bangor victory with minimum fuss when seeing off re-opposing Presenting Dylan over C&D 26 days ago. Player with more to come.

Presenting Dylan^p1²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: K Brogan| T: B Cawley| OR: 103

18/1

Shaped with some encouragement from a reduced hurdles mark at Sligo (17.5f) on his penultimate start but ultimately proved no match for re-opposing Master Malachy in a C&D event at the start of the month. Eased 5 lb at least.

Form: 808U52

Cawthorne^t³⁴

9/4

Arrives in the form of his life, completing a hat-trick over hurdles (first 2 wins over fences) at Market Rasen in July. Ran another cracker when second over C&D 5 weeks ago (collared late on having almost unseated last). Remains of interest.

Form: 35-1112

Mordred^h⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: M F Harris| OR: 94

9/2

Dual winner at Saint Moritz on Flat and somewhat belatedly recaptured his fair hurdling form when taking 3-runner Plumpton maiden (17.7f) 9 days ago. Interesting what the market makes of him now chasing.

Forecasts

Master Malachy (10/11), Cawthorne (9/4), Tico Times (7/2), Mordred (9/2), If Not For Dylan (5/1), Presenting Dylan (18/1)

MASTER MALACHY is already a better chaser than hurdler, maintaining his 100% record over fences with little fuss in a 3-runner C&D event 26 days ago. This is understandably tougher but he's open to further progress and earns the vote to complete the hat-trick. The similarly thriving pair Cawthorne and Tico Times can also get involved.
