Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Luke Scott⁽⁸⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 110| D

12/1

Well held in 3 runs since his July Stratford success, not jumping great back there the last twice, and yard remains quiet.

Form: P-41854

Pens Man^p,t⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 108| D

4/1

Built on his reappearance to record his third win from just 6 starts over fences in Southwell handicap over this trip 11 weeks ago. Career-high mark to overcome now but could well be up to the task.

Form: 114P-21

25/1

Won handicap chase at Newcastle over this trip on final start in 2021/22 and several creditable efforts last term. On a good mark if returning in good form.

Form: 3PU637-

Midnight Jewel²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 105| D

6/5

Building up a fine strike rate, seeing off a subsequent winner after that one's mistake at the last in 21.6f Fontwell handicap chase 3 weeks ago. Good shout again up 5 lb.

Form: 112-121

Abaya Du Mathan^b,t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 102| BF| D

11/1

Scored over fences at Ffos Las in April. More miss than hit since but claims on penultimate Worcester third now back in trip.

Form: P2P636

Obey The Rules^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 93

16/5

Bagged a third success over fences in 17.2f Market Rasen handicap last month. Fair run at Stratford since but more needed in this and also unproven over the trip.

Form: 523-512

Forecasts

Midnight Jewel (6/5), Obey The Rules (16/5), Pens Man (4/1), Abaya Du Mathan (11/1), Rostello (12/1), Cracking Find (25/1)

MIDNIGHT JEWEL made it 5 victories from his last 8 starts when seeing off a subsequent winner at Fontwell 3 weeks ago. He has more to offer over fences and can strike again. Pens Man could go on improving himself having won well at Southwell and looks the danger.
