Cat Tiger^t¹³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 121| C| D

7/2

Useful chaser at his best and, while not the force of old, his latest second at Stratford in May was a positive step. Not ruled out now back with Paul Nicholls after a break with tongue strap refitted.

Form: 5R3U-22

Hystery Bere^p,t¹³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: D A Jacob| T: T Symonds| OR: 119

7/2

Fairly useful hurdles scorer who made a winning start in this sphere in 4-runner handicap at Warwick over a year ago. Mixed record since and pulled up at Uttoxeter when last seen out in May. Tongue strap and cheekpieces go back on.

Form: 22P3-3P

Opening Bid^p²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Bryan Carver| T: C J Down| OR: 118| CD

6/5

Cheekpieces on for 1st time when a good fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good) 29 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark so a player in his bid to repeat last year's success.

Form: 24P535

Dorrells Pierji²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Lorcan Williams| T: D Summersby| OR: 117

16/1

Veteran who scored twice over hurdles Dan Skelton in 2022. Won 5 times in points between April and June this year but found life tougher in Worcester handicap chases in recent weeks.

Form: 111157

Kauto The King^t¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 111| D

7/1

Ungenuine type but he scored at Newton Abbot in August and wasn't disgraced when fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Plumpton (17f, good) 18 days ago. Not ruled out.

Form: 425214

The Gypsy Davey¹

Weight: 11-2| Age: 6

Forecasts

Opening Bid (6/5), The Gypsy Davey (11/4), Hystery Bere (7/2), Cat Tiger (7/2), Kauto The King (7/1), Dorrells Pierji (16/1)

OPENING BID took this 12 months ago and another bold showing looks on the cards given he can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when a good recent Worcester fifth. Cat Tiger could emerge as the main danger, with fellow veteran Kauto The King also not discounted in his current mood.
