Gold Link²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 120

13/8

Scored at Stratford in July and has continued in very good form, third of 10 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 22 days ago. Big shout off an unchanged mark.

Form: 4U1323

Belvedere Blast^b⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: A Keatley| OR: 117| D

16/1

Clicked in blinkers this summer, completing a hat-trick at Hexham in June. His form has nosedived since though so he has something to prove now going over fences.

Form: P-111P0

Enemenemynemo⁷⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 113| D

3/1

Took his form up a notch when getting off the mark in 4-runner handicap chase at Perth (2½m) in July. Posted a respectable third at Newton Abbot (21f) later that month. Freshened up since and needs considering.

Form: 04/75-13

Boom Boom¹⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 108| BF

13/8

Got off the mark in 2m maiden hurdle at Wincanton in April but he was pulled up on his handicap debut at Worcester following month. Goes chasing after a break with more required but he's in excellent hands.

Form: 32/8F1-P

Forecasts

Gold Link (13/8), Boom Boom (13/8), Enemenemynemo (3/1), Belvedere Blast (16/1)

GOLD LINK has made a positive start to life over fences and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to add to his Stratford summer success. Perth-scorer Enemenemynemo could emerge as the chief threat after a break, although Nicky Henderson's chasing newcomer Boom Boom could also have a say on his return.
