9/4

Resumed with win at Chepstow in October but only fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f) 113 days ago. Could get back on track after a break though.

Form: 32U4-15

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: T Lacey| OR: 134| D

17/2

Scored at Bangor in July but hasn't fired subsequently, remote fifth at Kempton last month. A more compelling case can be made for others.

Form: 31P8P5

Kauto The King^t⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 123| CD

4/1

Completed a hat-trick in small-field handicap chases during the summer. Below his best since though so this 3-time C&D winner needs to take a step forward.

Form: 112P53

Flagrant Delitiep⁵⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Freddie Gordon⁽⁷⁾| T: R Walford| OR: 123| CD

5/2

Yet to hit top form this term, but not disgraced back at 2m when sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Lingfield 59 days ago. Back up in trip and this C&D scorer is weighted to go well off a 4 lb lower mark here.

Form: 13-P446

Balko Saint¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: James Best| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 115| C

9/2

Mixed record over hurdles last season but fared better than of late over fences when sixth of 13 in handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f) 15 days ago. Needs to build on it now.

Forecasts

Flic Ou Voyou (9/4), Flagrant Delitiep (5/2), Guy (10/3), Kauto The King (4/1), Balko Saint (9/2), Neville's Cross (17/2)

A number of these arrive with question marks against them so it is worth siding with FLAGRANT DELITIEP to bag a second C&D success now he reverts to his optimum trip off a handy-looking mark. Flic Ou Voyou could emerge as the chief threat if resurgent after a break.
