Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 120| D

9/2

Fairly useful hurdler/chase for Dan Skelton. Won a Stratford hunter chase for this yard in May but well beaten in 2 handicap chases in June. Watching brief is advised back hurdling after a 5-month break.

Form: 24-3165

Sacre Pierre²³⁶

11/2

Back-to-back juvenile hurdle winner in summer 2021 and first handicap success at the third attempt at Sedgefield in February. Ran no sort of race at Haydock on final start but capable of bouncing back after a break.

Form: 35F516-

Just The Man¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Ned Fox⁽⁷⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 117| D

1/1

Fairly useful hurdler who was a respectable fourth of 7 at Newbury (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago. Has dropped back to his last successful mark.

Form: 2-32554

Clearance¹¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: B S Hughes| T: M Blake| OR: 105| D

3/1

Attracted support and took advantage of much-reduced mark at Newton Abbot in June. Ran no more than respectably in 2 outings there in July but the booking of Brian Hughes suggests connections are hopeful of a bold show on this return to action.

Form: 34-F134

Forecasts

Just The Man (1/1), Clearance (3/1), Across The Line (9/2), Sacre Pierre (11/2)

JUST THE MAN has dropped back to his last winning mark so he might be siding with in this finale. The Brian Hughes-ridden Clearance could be the one for the forecast spot.
