Has been given a chance by the handicapper but seems to be going through the motions at present, seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good, 11/1) 32 days ago.

Offered something to work on when third on chase bow here (20f), faring best of those held up. Bled when pulled up at Worcester but below par back here since. Too early to write off.

Got back on track following a breathing operation when second at Stratford in July but he failed to back that up when a well-held third at Bangor and Newton Abbot since. Claims if bouncing back to the Stratford form.

Shaped encouragingly on second start for this yard when third at Market Rasen (21f) and went as if still in good form when second of 4 in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 126 days ago. Respected.

Veteran who has shown there's plenty of life in him this season, scoring at Warwick in May and Southwell in July. Might have found next run coming too soon and type to bounce back.

Did well in handicap hurdles in 2021, winning twice at Ffos Las before good runner-up efforts at Newton Abbot. Not so good for this yard this season, though bettered chase debut when third at Plumpton 2 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Present Chief (4/1), Easkey Lad (9/2), Flying Verse (5/1), Royal Practitioner (11/2), An Marcach (11/2), Shanroe Smooch (9/1), Willcollins (9/1), High Counsel (12/1)

Verdict

ROYAL PRACTITIONER disappointed on her last 2 starts but her chase debut form reads well so is given another chance with most of her rivals also having something to prove. An Marcach and Easkey Lad are feared most.

  1. Royal Practitioner11/2
  2. An Marcach11/2
  3. Easkey Lad9/2
