7/1

5-time C&D winner, including in this event in 2021. 22/1, only sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Ascot (23.8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Still merits consideration back here though.

9/2

Took a step back in the right direction when third of 5 in handicap chase (11/2) at Fontwell (27.7f, soft) 29 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. One to consider.

Form: 52P-P83

Sublime Heights^v⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Lawes| OR: 116| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap chase (14/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 42 days ago so needs to bounce back.

Form: 2112-P0

Almazhar Garde^b,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 115

17/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good to soft, 11/2) 24 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 429-306

Milan Bridge^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 110| D

10/1

Last of 7 in handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f, good to soft, 9/1) 28 days ago, going in snatches. He's hard to make a case for.

Form: 4B49-47

Henschke^t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 108| CD

6/1

Scored over C&D in May but pulled up in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, soft) 25 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Form: PFP2-1P

Special Acceptance^p³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: P R Webber| OR: 108| CD

6/1

C&D winner who arrives on the back of a good second of 7 in handicap at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) 34 days ago, clear of rest. Player with that form having been franked.

Form: 3/P552-2

Uallrightharry^p¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: M Goldstein| T: K Jewell| OR: 96| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 66/1, below form ninth of 15 to Guguss Collonges in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Unreliable type.

Form: 1434-P9

Guguss Collonges^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Lily Pinchin| T: R A Teal| OR: 95| C

3/1

Bagged his second win of the season in 15-runner handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) 18 days ago, digging deep. This course winner merits serious consideration.

Forecasts

Guguss Collonges (3/1), Movethechains (9/2), Tip Top Mountain (11/2), Special Acceptance (6/1), Henschke (6/1), I See You Well (7/1), Almazhar Garde (17/2), Milan Bridge (10/1), Uallrightharry (12/1), Sublime Heights (18/1)

SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE can boast a C&D success and with the form of his recent Huntingdon second working out well he edges the vote. Guguss Collonges is weighted to have a big say so this course winner rates a big threat, while I See You Well and Tip Top Mountain are also worthy of respect in this competitive handicap.
