Lord Bryan^p,t⁸³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 115| D

11/1

In top form when completing a hat-trick around 3m between April and June. Went off the boil with 2 pulled-up efforts in July so hopes are pinned on a subsequent 12-week break sparking him back to life.

Form: 21-11PP

Go On Chez⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 114| BF| DWS

10/11

Won his first 5 starts over fences. Has met with defeat last twice but he would pushed the winner close for an uncharacteristic late mistake at Bangor in August. Undergone a second wind op since. Leading claims.

Form: 11-1132

Mister Tickle^b,t¹⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 112| D

11/1

Won first 3 starts in blinkers last autumn but the effect of the headgear appeared to be wearing off when last seen in May. No great record fresh so it might be best to look elsewhere.

Form: 11134-5

Minella Buster²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 108| D

15/8

Irish point winner who opened account over hurdles in a 20.5f Plumpton maiden last December. Not disgraced when reaching the frame in handicaps on his final 2 outings and that point background provides hope that he'll take to fences. Respected on sesaonal return.

Form: 9/64134-

Steel Wave^b,t¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 105| D

11/1

Won 3 times last term and shaped better than distance beaten when second of 4 in handicap chase at Stratford (22.5f, good) last month. Did capitulate tamely when a remote fourth of 7 at Bangor last time, though.

Form: 122-924

Forecasts

Go On Chez (10/11), Minella Buster (15/8), Steel Wave (11/1), Lord Bryan (11/1), Mister Tickle (11/1)

This finale looks to present a good opportunity for GO ON CHEZ to take his chase record to an impressive 6-8. If Minella Buster is primed for his first outing since March then this former point winner could be the one to give the selection most to think about.
