Age: 8| Weight: 12-7| J: Mr Martin McIntyre⁽⁷⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 100

10/3

Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when back to winning ways in 14-runner Newton Abbot handicap (3¼m, good) last week. Shouldered with a 7 lb penalty now but a bigger issue is whether he can string good efforts together (mixed record in recent times).

Jony Max¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 95

7/2

Continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage, again down the field at Perth 10 days ago. Invictus Allen the more obvious of the yard's pair.

Form: P70009

Honey I'm Good^t,v1⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 90

7/2

Won 3 chases last summer. Has struggled to recapture that level since but it's possible a first-time visor could perk her up.

Form: P6P-446

Sammylou^t⁷⁴

5/1

Age: 12| Weight: 11-0| J: Robbie David⁽⁷⁾| T: Claire Hitch| OR: 86

10/1

Hurdles winner in France in 2019 but 0-7 in this sphere over there. Off 32 months, showed that some ability remains when third of 11 in 3¼m Newton Abbot handicap chase in June but pulled up there since.

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young| OR: 72

Forecasts

Invictus Allen (11/8), Great D'Ange (10/3), Honey I'm Good (7/2), Jony Max (7/2), Sammylou (5/1), Pottlerath (13/2), Ayepaddy (10/1), Doyens De Ante (16/1), Jukebox D'eddy (25/1), No Promises (50/1)

In a race where most have plenty to prove INVICTUS ALLEN is taken to follow up last month's Uttoxeter success and provide the Christian Williams stable with a hat-trick of wins in this staying handicap chase. Great d'Ange's recent record raises doubts about him backing up last week's Newton Abbot success but he's still the obvious danger.
