Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 105

9/4

Still looking for first victory but arrives on back of creditable fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft, 13/2) 17 days ago and is effective over this longer trip. Likely player.

Form: 333-5F4

Jeudidee^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Nathan Andrews⁽³⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 104

6/1

Didn't really take to chasing in a trio of starts in that sphere but offered more back over the smaller obstacles when third of 9 in Southwell handicap (15.8f, good) 12 days ago. Step up in trip should suit and must enter calculations.

Form: 3-6F633

Bread And Butter^t¹³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Lewis Saunders⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 102| DWS

16/1

Fallen appreciably in the weights and better than for a while when making the frame in a couple of handicaps earlier this year. However, ran poorly when last seen at Worcester in June and has something to prove now. Had wind operation.

Form: 0593-40

Don Rafael⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Freddie Keighley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 103

3/1

Progressed again to make it third time lucky over hurdles at Stratford (16.3f) in July and acquitted himself in both starts since, latest when second of 9 over same C&D 58 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 6-62132

New Found Fame¹⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Oscar Palmer⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 101| D

8/1

Jumping errors meant he was unable to progress as might have been expected over fences and he's largely been disappointing back over hurdles since, beaten when pulling up at Ffos Las when last seen in May. Others more appealing.

Form: F3244-P

Jack The Savage^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell| T: L Horsfall| OR: 94

10/3

Bumper winner who opened his account over hurdles at Huntingdon (15.8f) 12 months ago. Exploits mixed since, but wasn't disgraced when fourth at Southwell (15.8f) latest and is worth another crack at this longer trip.

Form: 265344

Joyful Kit¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Chad Bament⁽³⁾| T: H Brown| OR: 71

40/1

Remains a maiden after 35 NH runs and makes limited appeal from 8 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 4P8655

Forecasts

Fourtowns (9/4), Don Rafael (3/1), Jack The Savage (10/3), Jeudidee (6/1), New Found Fame (8/1), Malina Ocarina (12/1), Bread And Butter (16/1), Joyful Kit (40/1)

In an open race it could be worth chancing JACK THE SAVAGE, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and looks ready for this stiffer test of stamina. Don Rafael and Fourtowns rate the principal dangers.
