15/2

Got back on track sent chasing when runner-up in novice handicap at Southwell (20.4f) in June. Raced too freely when fourth of 6 to Dripsey Moon in handicap chase over C&D (good) 23 days ago. Sort to bounce back with tongue strap added.

9/2

Successful at Bangor and Market Rasen this summer and posted a good second of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Back down in trip but ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 5-P1152

Valsorpresa³¹

10/1

Winner at Downpatrick in April. Not seen to best effect when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut stepping back up in trip.

Form: 81-8374

Garde Des Champs^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112| C

12/1

On a losing run but he recorded a good 5¼ lengths third of 6 to Dripsey Moon in handicap chase over C&D (good) 23 days ago. Can make his presence felt despite being 4 lb "wrong" in the weights.

Form: P-26323

Forecasts

Dripsey Moon (2/1), Parisencore (5/2), Jerrash (9/2), Mahons Glory (15/2), Valsorpresa (10/1), Garde Des Champs (12/1)

DRIPSEY MOON rates just the pick of these weights so is taken to follow up his recent C&D victory at the chief expense again of Parisencore who enjoys a 1 lb pull in the weights. Cartmel runner-up Jerrash is another to consider along with chasing debutant Valsorpresa.
