15/2

Proved a model of consistency without success on AW earlier in the year. Recent efforts a little below that level but has been given a chance by the handicapper as a result.

Goblet Of Fire⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tommie Jakes| T: N J Henderson| OR: 74| BF| C| D

10/11

Progressive last summer for Nigel Tinkler, winning 3 times prior to opening his account over hurdles for new yard in January. Improved further back on Flat, landing brace of AW handicaps (here first occasion) before a good close third at Newbury (1½m) 6 weeks ago. Leading claims.

Form: 131-113

Forecasts

Goblet Of Fire (10/11), Aiming High (9/2), Way Of Life (15/2), Diamond Ranger (11/1), Blueflagflyinghigh (11/1), Oslo (14/1), Selwan (14/1)

Nicky Henderson's GOBLET OF FIRE is taken to resume winning ways back on AW. This is a slight drop in class for Way of Life who is feared most ahead of Oslo, who has been running well over hurdles and is on a workable mark back on the Flat.
