1/1

Dual 20f hurdles winner last summer who posted creditable fourth in 2m handicap at Newmarket when last seen in June. Interesting runner switched to fences for new yard.

9/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Made more of an impact when sixth of 14 on handicap debut at Worcester when last seen in April. May do better again now going chasing.

15/2

Opened account under Rules when taking 8-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) 2 years ago. Not seen since but returns on a fair mark. Market should reveal expectations.

13/2

French import who finally got his head in front on these shores when scoring by a wide margin at Warwick in September. However, recent efforts suggest he's gone off the boil.

Forecasts

Calvinist (1/1), Ballaquane (9/4), Wetanwindy (5/2), Enduring Love (5/2), Dindin (13/2), Aughnacurra King (15/2)

A tricky race to assess with the vote going to CALVINIST, who was in decent form on the Flat this summer and goes chasing straightaway starting out for Venetia Willams. Enduring Love ended last season in good form in Ireland and is another stable switcher to consider.
