Norley^t⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 108

6/4

Won twice last season and shaped well on return from 8 months off when fourth in Worcester handicap hurdle (2m) in July. Made mistakes when disappointing at Bangor a month later and now goes back up in distance switched to the larger obstacles. Should make a chaser and could be the way to go.

Form: 2115-47

Nefyn Point^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 92

4/1

Ended long losing run (on back of 7 months off) at Market Rasen (17.2f) in June. Disappointed next 3 starts but much more like it with a brace of placed efforts at Sedgefield last month.

Form: 154523

11/10

Confirmed more positive signs over C&D in March when running out a good winner of a 23.6f course handicap. Not in the same form 3 weeks later but given a break and may have more to offer yet for his excellent yard.

Form: P4321-4

Forecasts

Thundersockssundae (11/10), Norley (6/4), Nefyn Point (4/1), Zyon (9/2)

NORLEY should make a chaser on profile and representing a yard in excellent form, is selected to make a successful debut over the larger obstacles. Thundersockssundae returns from a break and is a big threat.
