The Two Amigos²¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: David Prichard⁽⁵⁾| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 130

7/1

Winless since 2019 but he ended last season with a good second of 5 in 3m4f handicap chase at Taunton in March. Well weighted for his seasonal return and has won off a break so merits serious consideration.

Form: 38/F242-

11/1

Resumed with 25f handicap win at Cartmel and not disgraced after 7 weeks off when fourth there in August. He's not discounted if building on his latest effort with Brian Hughes now up.

Form: 11-16U4

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 127

Scored at Southwell (25.8f) in May and he has posted two solid efforts to make the frame at Worcester and Warwick since. Shortlisted.

6/1

Relished the step up to a marathon distance to get off the mark over fences at Chepstow (30.6f) in March before good fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las following month. Can't be ruled out on his return.

All About Joe⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 121

7/1

Made a successful start over fences at Cartmel (21f) in June and has continued in good nick, fast-finishing second over 25f there last time. Not the easiest of rides but this marathon trip promises to suit. Player.

Form: 5-F1522

Raddle And Hum^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 109

5/2

Likeable mare who got off the mark for this yard in 3m Perth handicap in September and followed up at Kelso (3m2f) a fortnght ago. Not taken lightly despite another 5 lb rise.

Form: 3-22311

Storm Lorenzo^v1¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies| OR: 105

3/1

Has taken well to fences, gaining his second 2m handicap win at Hexham in refitted cheekpieces 16 days ago. Mor is needed off a 4 lb higher mark but he's still one to consider.

Form: 9-132F1

Event Of Sivola^p¹⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 100

16/1

Hard to catch right, recording just one good run last season since making a winning comeback at Ayr. On a handy weight despite being 4 lb out of the handicap if he can find his spark.

Forecasts

Raddle And Hum (5/2), Storm Lorenzo (3/1), Tommie Beau (9/2), Silver In Disguise (6/1), All About Joe (7/1), The Two Amigos (7/1), Bbold (11/1), Dressedforsuccess (11/1), Event Of Sivola (16/1)

A case can be made for virtually all of these but ALL ABOUT JOE gets the nod given this first go over a marathon distance should really suit this son of Oscar judged on his fast-finishing second over 3m1f at Carmel last time. The Two Amigos returns on a handy mark and is next on the list ahead of in-form duo Dressedforsuccess and Raddle And Hum.
