11/2

Point winner who got off the mark at the first time of asking in 8-runner handicap chase at Fakenham (16.3f, good) 48 days ago. Has more to offer so leading claims despit a 5 lb weights rise.

16/1

A three-time winner last season but yet to fire this term, only seventh of 9 in handicap chase at Cartmel (17.3f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 345-757

Dream Jet³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Craig Nichol| T: B Ellison| OR: 93

11/1

A fair hurdler/chaser who recorded a good second of 10 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 668P-52

10/1

A fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Richard Hughes in 2022/23. Mostly disappointed for this yard but ran well sent chasing when second over C&D in July. Unseated first at Perth since and the sort to bounce back.

Form: 0P-642U

Form: P34-1U6

Forecasts

Noble Anthem (9/2), Stroll On By (11/2), Forget The Way (11/2), Omaha Wish (11/2), Gower Prince (10/1), Tessy Lad (10/1), Dream Jet (11/1), Tropical Talent (11/1), Post No Bills (16/1), Texard (16/1), Thank You Blue (18/1), Peacocks Secret (33/1), Fanfan Du Seuil (66/1)

Dan Skelton's OMAHA WISH made the ideal start over fences when scoring at Fakenham and with more to offer a 5 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up. Forget The Way also has better days ahead of him in this sphere and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Gower Prince, Stroll On By and Peacocks Secret in this competitive handicap.
