6/1

Better than ever when scoring at Wincanton and Ludlow in April and took his form up a notch to complete the hat-trick at Market Rasen. Went close at Perth since and remains of interest.

Form: P411-12

Some Chaos^p¹⁷²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Scudamore| OR: 138| CD

5/2

Very hit and miss last season but did making a winning return in this 12 months ago off 2 lb higher so no surprise to see him go well.

Form: PPP23P-

Forgot To Ask^t¹¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 132| C| D

10/3

Proved better than ever back from 6 months off when winning 7-runner handicap chase (14/1) at Stratford (27.5f, good to soft) in May. Creditable third off revised mark at Perth following month but this tougher.

Form: 022P-13

The Mighty Don²⁷⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 132| CD

9/2

Useful chaser at his best for all he belts the odd one. Just the one decent effort from 4 starts last season but has dropped to a tempting mark.

Form: 65/927P-

Innisfree Lad¹⁷²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: David Dennis| OR: 130

6/1

Back on the scoresheet at Plumpton in January and excellent third in Eider Chase at Newcastle the following month. Excuses both starts since so not taken lightly.

Form: 8153P4-

Al Roc^b,t⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 120

7/1

Won 4 times over fences earlier this season but gone off the boil more recently. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Some Chaos (5/2), Cloth Cap (5/2), Forgot To Ask (10/3), The Mighty Don (9/2), Broken Quest (6/1), Innisfree Lad (6/1), Al Roc (7/1)

CLOTH CAP has seen a promising career derailed by apparent physical problems, but he may be best caught fresh nowadays and has been given a chance by the handicapper (best effort last season when fourth from BHA mark of 156 first time out). The Mighty Don is another who has dropped to a tempting mark, while Broken Quest arrives better than ever.
