Age: 8|  Weight: 12-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR:  112
Dual hurdles scorer who opened his chase account at Huntingdon (19.8f) in March. Below best next time but quickly back to form when runner-up back at that venue on final start in April. Respected if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Consistent over hurdles and took a step forward for the switch to larger obstacles when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f, good) 6 weeks ago, jumping soundly and quickening clear approaching last. Big shout in follow-up bid up 6 lb.

Fair hurdler who jumped better than previously in this sphere when runner-up over C&D back in April. However, not convinced in that department either start 4 months apart subsequently and return to this venue needs to have positive effect with blinkers back on.

Scored on chase debut at Huntingdon (19.8f)12 months ago and edged ahead close home when doubling his tally over C&D in May. Creditable fifth off this mark at Stratford in June and no surprise to see him give another good account back from a break.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Christian Williams| OR:  99| D
Got off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot in June but operating below best more recently, struggling some way out when pulled up at Worcester (20f) in August. Bit to prove now with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Bumper/hurdles winner who again ran creditably when runner-up at Ludlow (21.2f) in May. Not in same form at Market Rasen a month later but can't be ruled out now chasing with his yard going great guns.

Forecasts

Nickelforce (7/4), Pearly Island (9/4), Awesome Foursome (13/2), Kankin (7/1), Aviles (15/2), Up For Appeal (10/1)

Verdict

NICKELFORCE was consistent over hurdles and improved to score in good style on chase debut at Stratford 6 weeks ago. Impressing with how he travelled that day, a 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold showing with further progress anticipated. The returning Pearly Island and Kankin are others to consider.
