It's now 15 runs since his last win in 2021 but he has been holding his form well lately. Should be involved once more if his jumping holds up.

Point winner and dual scorer over hurdles in 2022/23. Disappointing back from an absence when pulled up on chasing debut at Uttoxeter but may come on for it.

Won an Irish point in April 2022 and left previous efforts behind when scoring impressively on only his second chase outing at Hexham last time. More to come and boasts leading claims.

Runner-up sole start in Irish points last February and fair form when reaching the frame in novice hurdles at Wetherby and Ffos Las towards the end of 2024. Switches to fences for this handicap debut.

Fair winner over hurdles who showed better form on his first go at chasing. Yet to match it but looked as good as ever before absence told returning from 22 months off at Windsor last time. Cheekpieces back on and has been given a big chance by the handicapper.

Off 4 months/had wind op before a creditable fourth of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (20.3f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Likely player dropped 2 lb with that run under his belt.

Looked better than ever when winning over hurdles at Hexham in June. Probably needed the run in a handicap there on chase debut last month, so should build on it.

Showed ability over hurdles and stepped up on his chase debut when third of 12 in a Hexham handicap (15.6f, heavy) in April. Not in same form at Carlisle on return but may strip fitter for it.

Forecasts

Rattling Road (6/4), A Moments Madness (4/1), Leitrim Chief (7/1), Leading Force (8/1), Halpha Soleil (10/1), Reilly (11/1), Quick Sharpener (12/1), Coqolino (14/1)

Verdict

RATTLING ROAD is a typically big, imposing sort from the Lucinda Russell stable and he jumped accurately when running out a ready winner at Hexham last time, so he's an obvious choice to defy a rise. Reilly is a big danger from a handicapping perspective and A Moments Madness looks an interesting chasing debutant.
