C&D winner who posted a career best when bagging 8-runner handicap chase (4/1) at Cartmel (17.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago, quickening clear. Not taken lightly despite a 6 lb weights rise.

A dual chase winner last season but ridden too aggressively when sixth of 8 to Al Zaraqaan in handicap chase at Cartmel (17.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Off 4 months before a below-par fifth of 8 to Al Zaraqaan in handicap chase at Cartmel (17.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago, folding. Others more persuasive.

10/3
Has created a very good impression since sent chasing, landing handicaps at Hexham and Bangor (17.4f, good) this summer. Well on top at the finish last time so looks the one to beat despite a 9 lb weights hike.

Scored at Fakenham in April and recorded a good second of 10 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, good, 4/1) 53 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts once more.

Shaped as if in need of the run when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft) 35 days ago. This veteran shouldn't be underestimated back chasing withh that run under his belt

Forecasts

Breizh River (10/3), Fringill Dike (7/2), Frere d'Armes (7/1), Al Zaraqaan (15/2), Coastguard Station (8/1), Issuing Authority (10/1), Opening Bid (14/1), Fearless (14/1), Sacre Coeur (16/1), Onemorefortheroad (20/1), A Different Kind (20/1), Cracking Destiny (33/1), Sir Tivo (66/1)

Verdict

BREIZH RIVER hasn't looked back since sent over fences and can rattle off a hat-trick on the back of his impressive Bangor victory despite being hit hard by the official assessor. Fringill Dike also arrives at the top of his game so this C&D scorer should ensure Paul Robson's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Coastguard Station, Cracking Destiny and Al Zaraqaan are others to consider in this cracking handicap.
