4/9

Lightly raced over hurdles but useful form, winning the Imperial Cup at Sandown in March. Trip too far there following month. Of obvious interest on chase bow.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 132| D

10/1

Smart bumper performer who left hurdles debut effort well behind when making all in 15-runner Exeter novice. Steady progress since, resuming winning ways under a penalty at Taunton on final start for Paul Nicholls in December (sold £12,000 in June).

Form: 8/41241-

Mount Tempest¹⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 121| BF| DWS

9/4

Promising hurdler who took a big step forward when notching up a second win in 2m Warwick handicap in March. Shaped as if amiss following month and off since. Chase debut.

Form: 615713-

Forecasts

Iceo (4/9), Mount Tempest (9/4), Timeforatune (10/1)

An excellent opportunity for Imperial Cup winner ICEO to make a winning start over fences with Mount Tempest (shaped as if amiss in April) and Timeforatune (sold for only £12,000 from Paul Nicholls in June) arriving with something to prove.
