15/8

Bumper/4-time winner over fences (at around 2m) and better for return in May when fourth of 6 at Warwick from 6 lb out of the handicap later that month. Not seen since but made a winning reappearance in this off 5 lb lower last season so bold bid is expected.

Form: 132P-44

Elios D'Or^p²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: R Walford| OR: 117| D

15/2

Off the mark over hurdles in April and winner of 2 of his 6 starts since resuming in this sphere, including at Worcester in July. However, has a rather all or nothing profile and was well held at Uttoxeter last month.

Form: 414415

Line Of Descent^t⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 110| D

5/2

Got off the mark over fences at Stratford in April and a winner at Cartmel and Southwell since. However, poor efforts next 2 starts so needs to bounce back after a short break.

Form: 1-1213U

Post No Bills²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: R Potter| OR: 109| BF

2/1

Point winner who has taken well to fences, bagging handicaps at Fontwell (17.8f) and Cartmel in May. Last couple of efforts have been creditable so he's not one to rule out.

Forecasts

Only Money (15/8), Post No Bills (2/1), Line Of Descent (5/2), Sea Prince (4/1), Elios D'Or (15/2), Ben Buie (10/1)

ONLY MONEY made a winning reappearance in this 12 months ago so gets the vote off a tempting mark having took a step back in the right direction when last seen in May. Reliable front runner Post No Bills is a solid alternative.
