4/1
Fair stayer on the Flat who doubled his tally in this sphere back from 9 months off (had wind op) in handicap at Ffos Las in May. Good in-the-frame efforts all starts since, runner-up at Southwell on latest, and should go well again if he gets the trip.

2/1
Fair hurdler who got right back on track when making all in convincing fashion at Ludlow 139 days ago. Good chance he can follow up if he returns in the same mood.

14/1
Point winner/dual winner over hurdles who has placed a few times over fences without fully convincing with his jumping or attitude. Might benefit from this switch back to the smaller obstacles.

Forecasts

Presenting Pete (7/4), Gwennie May Boy (2/1), Nibras Gold (4/1), Alexandra Romanov (9/1), Glengeever (14/1), Solo Saxophone (25/1)

Verdict

PRESENTING PETE had something to spare when scoring at Uttoxeter and he's fancied to go in again at the likely expense of Gwennie May Boy, another comfortable last-time-out winner. Nibras Gold is also considered.
