Killer Kane^t¹⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 122| CD

3/1

Winless since early 2023 and has struggled on his last 4 starts (after a wind op). However, starts the new campaign potentially well treated and down to a class 4 for the first time in a while.

Form: 33800-4

Poppa Poutine⁵⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 121| D

14/1

Ended 2022/23 out of form but on a good mark on the pick of his efforts on his belated return (off 19 months). Market may reveal expectations but no surprise to see him go well with stable in fine form.

Concetto^p,t¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 119| BF| D

12/1

Mixed record last season but won 2 of his last 4 starts, looking suited by the return to positive tactics when making all in blinkers at Huntingdon in April. However, showed signs of temperament once again at Ludlow later that month and cheekpieces go back on.

Almazhar Garde^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 117| D

12/1

Scored at Bangor in June and good runner-up efforts next 2 of 3 starts. Ought to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 22-1242

God's Own Getaway¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 115

10/1

Low-mileage 6-y-o who has already won twice over fences. Not seen to best effect after 4 months off when fifth at Warwick and interesting contender stepping up in trip.

Form: 31-2125

Regarde^t²¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 112| D

9/2

Showed improved form switched to chasing last season, winning handicaps at Huntingdon on his first 2 starts. Suffered a heavy fall at Ffos Las but bounced back with a good second at former track final outing. Could have more to offer still.

Form: 4/113F2-

Blairgowrie²⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 109| D

10/3

Off the mark over hurdles in 13-runner handicap at Newbury at the end of the 2021/22 season and made an encouraging belated return/chase debut when second there in January (was the only chasing first-timer in the line-up). Remains with potential on first run since.

Form: 34321/2-

Face d'Music¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 108

4/1

£100,000 purchase having been placed only start in Irish point. Fair form over hurdles but made hard work of things when off the mark at the seventh attempt at Hereford when last seen in May. Chase debut.

Form: 2U37-21

Forecasts

Killer Kane (3/1), Blairgowrie (10/3), Face d'Music (4/1), Regarde (9/2), God's Own Getaway (10/1), Almazhar Garde (12/1), Concetto (12/1), Poppa Poutine (14/1)

It could be worth chancing KILLER KANE, who often keeps better company than this and starts the new campaign 4 lb below his last winning mark. Poppa Poutine is another who is potentially well treated for his in-form yard having missed the whole of last season, while Blairgowrie has the potential to make up for lost time on the back of his encouraging chase bow at Newbury in January.
