Pull Again Green^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 135| C

15/2

Latest win in chase at Bangor in August. Good second of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, soft, 5/1) 27 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly.

Form: 50-8412

Pounding Poet^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: R T Dunne| T: T Lacey| OR: 133| D

50/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap chase (25/1) at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) on debut over fences 27 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 4162-06

Knowsley Road²³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 132| BF

11/2

Progressive over hurdles prior to a blip at this course 7 months ago. Runner-up in an Irish point, so no surprise if he gets back on the up switched to chasing.

Form: 21/1136-

Theatre Man²³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 132

8/1

Useful hurdler. 11/4, career best when winning 7-runner novice hurdle at Kempton (21f, heavy), having run of race. Very much the type to take to chasing, so worthy of consideration back from 7 months off.

Form: 32/2121-

Neon Moon^b,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 130

10/1

Strong-traveller who returned better than ever to win a Ludlow handicap with ease a fortnight ago. Stiffer fences to contend with here but demands plenty of respect.

Form: F223P-1

Way Out¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: M G Nolan| T: S Hosie| OR: 128

10/1

Irish point winner who won all 3 starts over hurdles this season and made an encouraging start to chasing in a handicap at Cheltenham recently. Could feature.

Form: 85-1113

Scrum Diddly^p¹⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 122| BF

3/1

Going the right way over hurdles for Oliver Sherwood when last seen 5 months ago and has a pointing background, so notable chasing debutant starting out for a shrewd stable.

Form: 962-112

My Bobby Dazzler¹⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 122

22/1

Point winner who was fairly useful over hurdles and dug deep to make a successful start over fences at Worcester 147 days ago. Claims if he's tuned up.

Form: P524-31

Come On Gruff¹⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: J J Burke| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 121

10/1

Fairly useful hurdler for Tom George and signed off last season with a good effort at Worcester. Has changed yards in the 6 months he's been off but has the size for chasing.

Form: 61/533-2

Inch House²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 120| BF

6/1

£125,000 purchase after winning an Irish point and progressed nicely over hurdles. Shaped well when third in a handicap at Chepstow last month, so he's open to improvement in this sphere.

Form: 1/431-3

Mumbo Jumbo^t²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 120

9/1

Yet to win a race of any description but has built up a solid record over fences and returns with his stable amongst the winners, so not ruled out.

Form: 34/2342-

Non-Runners

Pulling Stumps⁶⁰⁰

Weight: 10-9| Age: 6

T: P Hobbs & J White J: M G Nolan

Forecasts

Scrum Diddly (3/1), Knowsley Road (11/2), Inch House (6/1), Pull Again Green (15/2), Theatre Man (8/1), Mumbo Jumbo (9/1), Way Out (10/1), Neon Moon (10/1), Come On Gruff (10/1), Pulling Stumps (16/1), My Bobby Dazzler (22/1), Pounding Poet (50/1)

INCH HOUSE went the right way over hurdles and there was enough encouragement in his chasing debut to think he can defy his current mark, so he gets the nod over recent Ludlow winner Neon Moon. Pull Again Green is another to consider.
