Deise Aba^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 142| C

11/2

Just denied in this last year and posted another good effort at Sandown when runner-up here in February. Presumably having a pipe-opener back over hurdles at Aintree on return and better expected now.

Form: 22P2P-6

Quick Wave³²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 140

11/2

Useful on her day and better than ever when easily winning at Ludlow in January sole start last season. Deserves this crack at a valuable handicap.

Form: F5165/1-

Revels Hill¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: K Brogan| T: H Fry| OR: 138

2/1

Improved when winning handicap chases at Taunton end of last season and returned with excellent second at Ascot 2 weeks ago. Very much one to be interested in back up in trip.

Form: 42U11-2

Almazhar Garde^p,t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 135

18/1

Winless last term and he came in a below-form fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (25f) on return. Let down by his suspect jumping at Fontwell since.

Form: 7220-5F

One More Fleurie²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 128

80/1

Four-time winner at up to 3m in 2020/21 but failed to fire in 4 starts last term and no promise at Exeter on return last month.

Form: 1/8P0P-P

Red Happy^b,t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 128

16/1

French import who landed a sixth win since March when seeing off 3 rivals at Exeter in October. Struggled since, however.

Form: 1215R8

Gwencily Berbas^p,t¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 123

18/1

Relished the marathon trip when ending losing run at Exeter (30.7f) a year ago off 1 lb higher. In-and-out form subsequently, well held in the Midlands Grand National on final outing. Remote fifth at Warwick on return. Others preferred.

Form: 31P59-5

Planned Paradise^p1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: J E Moore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 119| BF

10/1

Took his form up a notch when opening chase account at Worcester (20f) in June before posting very good second of 4 at Perth the following month. Let down by jumping both starts since back from a break, however, and headgear now applied.

Form: 241236

Eclair De Guye^p²⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: H Cobden| T: L Wadham| OR: 118

6/1

Mixed record last season but was a decent third in this race on return 12 months ago off 7 lb higher so not taken lightly.

Form: 2P/37P2-

In Rem^p1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 117

11/2

Big improver in handicap hurdles last season and he made a promising start over fences when fourth at Worcester and Uttoxeter this term. Open to further progress, especially now back over further. Headgear on.

Form: 1115-44

D'jango^b,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: D Pipe| OR: 108

80/1

Landed handicap hurdle/chase at Worcester this summer but an unreliable individual overall and ran poorly last 2 starts. 8 lb out of handicap.

Form: 632265

Forecasts

Revels Hill (2/1), Quick Wave (11/2), Deise Aba (11/2), In Rem (11/2), Eclair De Guye (6/1), Planned Paradise (10/1), Red Happy (16/1), Gwencily Berbas (18/1), Almazhar Garde (18/1), D'jango (80/1), One More Fleurie (80/1)

REVELS HILL took well to fences last season and surely has more races in him judged on his excellent second over an inadequate trip at Ascot on his return 2 weeks ago. Deise Aba has an excellent record around here and was only just denied in this last year off a similar mark, while there was a lot to like about Quick Wave's win at Ludlow on her sole start last term.
