5/2

Underwent another breathing operation and cashed in on a handy mark on return from 6 months off over C&D in September. That race did rather fall apart and she's up 7 lb.

11/2

Showed good attitude to win on Carlisle hurdles debut last October. Disappointing that he's been unable to match that since, but now has attentions turned to chasing (ex-pointer) fresh from 7 months off which makes him of interest.

6/1

Has made an excellent start over fences, scoring for third time in 4 starts in 23.4f Kelso novices' handicap when in May, making all in a first-time tongue tie. Shaped better than result on return to action at Sedgefield and remains of interest.

Form: 311-213

Diegos Way^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Ewing| T: C Collins| OR: 94| D

10/3

Winning pointer who has reacted well to cheekpieces in recent weeks, hitting the frame in a brace of Irish handicaps. Looks interesting at the foot at the weights on British debut.

Form: 3-83924

Methodtothemadness (5/2), Diegos Way (10/3), Great D'Ange (9/2), Kayf Hernando (11/2), Hidden Commander (6/1), Animal (8/1), Stop The World (66/1), Fou Diligence (80/1)

HIDDEN COMMANDER was better than he could show on recent reappearance, and now back over 3m, is taken to enhance his positive chase record. Irish-raider Diegos Way should be a factor at the foot of the weights, with Kayf Hernando one to monitor in the betting now tackling the larger obstacles.
