Forget The Way^p,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Alex Chadwick⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 110| D

5/4

Has just the one win to his name but with cheekpieces fitted, he ran up to his best when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good, 13/2) 11 days ago.

Ankud^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: L Bailey| OR: 122

22/1

Made a winning handicap debut at Sligo (17.3f) for Gordon Elliott in July. Rise in weights appeared to catch him out at Ballinrobe later that month but proved a major disappointment when well beaten sixth of 7 in novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f) for new yard last month.

Form: 377-166

Allbetsoff¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Liam Harrison| T: M Walford| OR: 108| CD

11/4

Notched 3 wins in the first half of last season (including this race) and has enhanced his strike rate further this summer, adding a couple more to his tally. Recent efforts disappointing but a return to more positive tactics can likely see him in a better light.

Form: 8161PP

King Otis^p,t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 97| D

10/1

Successful twice at Fakenham at the beginning of the season but recent efforts not so inspiring, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Yard look to hold much more pressing claims with Forget The Way.

Form: 28F7UP

Pak Army^p,t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Robbie David⁽⁷⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 100| D

3/1

Flat/hurdles winner who was in process of running well when taking a heavy fall late on at Exeter 24 days ago (looked set to be placed). Holds claims on these terms down in class if none the worse for those exertions.

Form: 6-3354F

Forecasts

Forget The Way (5/4), Allbetsoff (11/4), Pak Army (3/1), King Otis (10/1), Ankud (22/1)

A tricky claimer to dissect and with that in mind it could be worth chancing last year's winner ALLBETSOFF. He needs to shrug off a pair of distinctly lesser efforts but a return to more positive tactics can likely see Mark Walford's 8-y-o in a much better light back down in class. Pak Army rates next best ahead of Forget The Way. The market can guide with Ankud.
