Marshalled⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 125

4/1

Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland and has revived for new yard lately, winning a handicap chase at Newcastle before nose second of 8 to Ubetya in handicap chase over C&D. Latest effort was sub-par but he's been given a break since.

Form: 533-127

Jelski^p³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 114| CD

11/4

5/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) 37 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Looks well capable of landing the hat-trick if the race is run to suit.

Form: 3UP-511

Lermoos Legend^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 112| C

7/2

Resumed winning ways in 5-runner handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good to soft) in July. Seemingly amiss last time but could bounce back and has tasted success at this track before.

Form: 52231P

Kellyiscool^t³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: G Sheehan| T: N C Kelly| OR: 110

11/2

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser at his best and, after some uninspiring efforts, he made a positive step when third to Jelski in C&D event last time, Not dismissed,

Form: 300/543

Sword Of Fate²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: D R Fox| T: L Kerr| OR: 106| C| D

13/2

Front runner who capitalised on a drop in grade when scoring at Perth earlier in the month, This is more competitive but dangerous if he's unhassled in front.

Form: 283821

Sean Og⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 106

13/2

Disappointed on chasing debut in May but improved when second over hurdles on final outing for Margaret Mullins. BHA mark doesn't look all that lenient, though, so up against it on stable debut.

Form: 000-092

Forecasts

Jelski (11/4), Lermoos Legend (7/2), Marshalled (4/1), Kellyiscool (11/2), Sword Of Fate (13/2), Sean Og (13/2), Cardamon Hill (7/1), Post No Bills (8/1)

JELSKI bids for a course hat-trick and, if the pace is strong enough, he's up to completing it. If Sword of Fate is allowed his own way in front he'll be hard to pass and Kellyiscool, who was third to the selection here last time, can't be ruled out.
