Runner-up twice around 3m here this summer but he does need to shrug off a disappointing run at Hexham 3 weeks ago. Has first-time cheekpieces added on the back of that.

Largely performing with credit in defeat over hurdles and fences in Ireland this season. Should be competitive on this first run in Britain.

Dual chase winner in 2022 and knocking on the door this spring, finishing runner-up over fences here and hurdles at Kelso in May. Good shout if ready to roll after 4 months off.

Has gone the wrong way since a fairly encouraging hurdles bow, including in 2 outings back from an absence this spring. Remains to be seen if a switch to fences sparks a revival, although stable's good record in this provides some hope.

Off the mark over fences in Musselburgh handicap over this trip in March. Respectable fifth in 2 outings later in the spring. First run for 133 days. Yard does well in this race.

No form of worth, struggling with a circuit to go in a maiden chase at Roscommon last month. Has the assistance of Harry Cobden for this handicap debut but it's still hard to be too positive unless the market vibes are notably strong.

Little impact last season but better signs when second on C&D reappearance in August. Possibly stretched by 3m when fading into a well-held fourth at Uttoxeter last time and treated as if still in form.

Winner in France but now 0-17 since coming to Britain. Brian Hughes up but it's likely that wait for a win here will go on.

Forecasts

Thunder In Milan (3/1), Attitash (4/1), A Place Apart (4/1), Sputnik (5/1), So Be It (15/2), Hector Master (17/2), Bandit D'Ainay (12/1), Any Job Will Do (28/1), Glen Ali (40/1)

Verdict

If SPUTNIK is in the same form as when last seen in the spring he might prove the answer to this handicap chase. A Place Apart is second choice returned to the scene of his reappearance second. The fact Lucinda Russell has won this 3 times since 2018 also earns Thunder In Milan a place on the shortlist.
