Dual-winning hurdler who shaped better than the result when fourth at Ffos Las 11 months ago. Not seen since, however, so best watched on chasing bow.
|
In excellent form this summer, scoring over 2m1f at Cartmel. Seems to have gone off the boil judged on last 3 starts, however.
|
Fairly useful handicap chaser who lacked consistency last season and will probably need this first run for 6 months.
|
Career best when winning 4-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good) 146 days ago, forging clear. Unexposed in this sphere and 6-lb rise might not be enough to stop him.
|
Made successful start over fences at Bangor last summer but has been disappointing both starts this term. Something to prove.
|
Made it 3 from 5 over fences when scoring in cosy fashion at Ffos Las 6 months ago. Fluent jumper who should make his presence felt if ready to go after 6 months off.
|
Off the mark at Wetherby in January and perhaps undone by more testing conditions in a handicap at Exeter next time. Could do better now chasing after 7 months off.
|
Scored over hurdles at Ludlow in January but below form on last two outings were disappointing. Fresh from 7 months off and should take to chasing, so not completely ruled out.
|
Winning Irish pointer who confirmed previous promise over hurdles when landing a novice at Wincanton in January. Disappointing on both starts since and has left Philip Hobbs (off 6 months) prior to chasing debut.
|
Confirmed hurdles debut promise when battling well to land the odds in 6-runner Huntingdon novice (25f). Fell at first in handicap at Ascot next time but could be more to come now chasing after 10 months off.
|
Hurdles winner who has proved better over fences and landed a hat-trick at Fontwell to sign off the last campaign. Solid claims if he's ready to go on reappearance.

Forecasts
Limetree Boy (11/4), Pass Me By (10/3), Gloire D'Athon (9/2), Great Ocean (6/1), Jet Plane (13/2), Winged Isle (16/1), Lermoos Legend (16/1), Galtee Mountain (20/1), Volcano (25/1), Marettimo (25/1), Mix Of Clover (50/1)
GLOIRE D'ATHON returned to chasing with an emphatic display to score at Huntingdon in June and he's worth a chance to follow up in a race where plenty have something to prove. Galtee Mountain and Marettimo, who ended last season on an upward curve, could both pose a threat to the selection.
- Galtee Mountain20/1
- Marettimo25/1
