25/1

Smart hurdler and high-class chaser during his time with Dan Skelton. Hasn't been seen since finishing lame at Cheltenham in January 2023 but new trainer James Owen has a cracking record with new recruits. Check the betting.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 122| BF| CD

Cemented superb record at Market Rasen when landing the valuable Summer Hurdle in July. Only respectable sixth at Perth since but better can be expected back here.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 120| CD

9/1

Produced a career best to land a 9-runner handicap at Huntingdon (2m, good) in April. Placed on both completed starts over hurdles since and also shaped well back on the Flat at Kempton recently.

Form: 251-B33

Saint Riquier^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 119

11/2

Has been in cracking form on the Flat since returning from a long absence, winning 3 times since the end of August. Won off a similar mark over hurdles in 2022. Needs considering.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 115| BF| D

9/1

Dual winner in juvenile hurdles in 2022/23 season, including a listed event at Doncaster. Two creditable efforts at Stratford in the spring but been off for 5 months and might be best watched this time.

Form: 18/664-3

Got Grey^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 112| D

15/8

Has had lots in hand when winning both starts for Dan Skelton in recent weeks. Effectively12 lb higher here (1 lb out of the handicap) and there could be plenty more to come for this yard and he can complete the hat-trick.

Form: 74-4411

Forecasts

Got Grey (15/8), Our Champ (4/1), Saint Riquier (11/2), Greyval (9/1), Castel Gandolfo (9/1), Oslo (9/1), Pisgah Pike (10/1), West To The Bridge (14/1), Allmankind (25/1)

GOT GREY takes a jumps in class but he's had loads to spare when winning twice in recent weeks and can make it 3-3 since joining Dan Skelton. Saint Riquier has made hay on the Flat since returning from a long lay-off and is feared most ahead of Chris Gordon's Our Champ, who was at the top of his game when last seen in the spring and won on his reappearance last autumn.
