3/1

Enjoyed a positive season over hurdles last term, signing off with a career-best victory in a 8-runner handicap at Sandown (19.8f, good to soft, 7/2). Smooth-travelling sort who looks as if he will have a say on chase bow.

Form: 3/12261-

Ginny's Destiny²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 133

10/3

Bumper scorer who quickly made up into a useful winning hurdler last term for Tom Lacey. Paid the price or pressing on with Hurricane Bay too far out after 9 months off on chase debut at this course (19.8f, good) just over 3 weeks ago but should do better in this sphere.

Form: 1/4123-7

Wonderwall³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: R Spencer| OR: 132WS

5/1

Useful hurdler who shaped better than the bare result when last seen over obstacles in the County Hurdle at the Festival, weakening when blundering last. Arrives fit from a couple of low-key spins on the Flat but showed plenty on his only outing over fences at Newbury 12 months ago. Had wind a op.

Form: 721F/30-

Railway Hurricane^b,t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 130| D

11/2

Scored at Tipperary in July and has finished runner-up on his last couple of starts, latest when bumping into Idalko Bihoue at this course (19.8f, good) just over 3 weeks ago. Unreliable sort overall but doing little wrong at present.

Form: 441P22

Mr Saxobeat²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: T Gibney| OR: 128| D

28/1

Fairly useful Irish chaser who got off the mark at the first attempt at Clonmel in June. Would have run creditably had he not messed up trying to clear the final fence when pulled up at this course (19.8f, good) just over 3 weeks ago but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 12U23P

Elle Perfecta^t¹⁰⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: Colm Murphy| OR: 127| D

9/1

Had plenty in hand when getting off the mark over fences first time up in 7-runner beginners chase at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good to soft) in April and wasn't disgraced after 3 months off when mid-field in Grade 3 at Galway last time. Should have more to offer now handicapping.

Form: 18051-4

Es Perfecto¹⁹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: A King| OR: 124

9/2

Point winner who has shown fairly useful form over hurdles. Proved he retains ability back from 2 years off when third at Uttoxeter in January but seen only once since, so there must be a chance his lack of robustness is an issue. Goes chasing after 6 months off with a little to prove.

Form: F241/3-3

Forecasts

Crebilly (3/1), Ginny's Destiny (10/3), Es Perfecto (9/2), Wonderwall (5/1), Railway Hurricane (11/2), Elle Perfecta (9/1), Mr Saxobeat (28/1)

A chasing debutant won this contest 12 months ago and history may well repeat itself in the shape of CREBILLY, who enjoyed a positive season over hurdles last term and could have even more to offer now tackling fences. Wonderwall showed plenty when third on his chasing debut last year and, arriving on the back of wind surgery, he's put forward as the main danger, with Irish-raiders Elle Perfecta and Railway Hurricane another couple worth a mention.
