Off time: 14:06 | Winning time: 4m 10.70s

Grand Roi^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Alex Chadwick⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 135| D

9/4

Useful hurdler but yet to match that form in four runs in this sphere, only fifth of 8 in novice chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, good) 21 days ago on his final run for Gordon Elliott. More is needed on his yard/handicap chase debut.

Form: FP790-5

Fringill Dike^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 125| D

10/11

Multiple hurdles winner who has made an excellent start over fences with fluent wins in 6-runner handicaps at Hexham and Uttoxeter. Weighted to complete his hat-trick despite going up another 7 lb.

Form: 5330-11

Glory And Honour^t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 118| D

10/3

Made a winning start for his new yard in 2m1f handicap chase at Cartmel in August and backed it up with an excellent second of four at Stratford 9 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 4/395-12

With A Start^t⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: P Winks| OR: 90| D

100/1

Ex-Irish 2m hurdles winner but he's yet to fire for his current yard and makes little appeal once again from 26 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 0/P-6PF3

Forecasts

Fringill Dike (10/11), Grand Roi (9/4), Glory And Honour (10/3), With A Start (100/1)

FRINGILL DIKE still looks ahead of his mark despite taking a 7 lb rise for his recent Uttoxeter success so is fancied to go 3-3 in this sphere. Glory And Honour has also started out well over fences though and should ensure Jedd O'Keefe's upwardly-mobile 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way.
