14/1
Successful twice in 2023 and took a step back in the right direction after a quiet spell at Market Rasen (3m) last time. On a good mark if building on that.

Scored at Bangor in June and remains in good heart, third over C&D and no extra only late when filling the same position at Doncaster (3m) last time. Strong claims.

A reformed character this season and proved better than ever as he made it 3 wins from his last 4 starts (2 from 2 under this amateur) in C&D handicap last month. Good shout again up 6 lb.

18/1
Fairly useful form at best over fences for previous yard but not shown much for a while, including over hurdles the last twice. Visor the new headgear of choice and he's very well treated if reviving.

Hurdles/point winner who scored on chasing debut at Ludlow (3m) on return but beat just 2 rivals and his subsequent efforts have been poor.

2/1
Well backed and showed the benefit of his reappearance 8 weeks earlier as he opened his account in Leicester handicap chase over this trip 4 weeks ago. That form isn't too bad for the grade and he can go well again up 6 lb.

Maiden hurdler/chaser who has run well in handicaps the last twice, keeping on when beaten 5 lengths by Safe Destination over C&D last month. Has a race in him.

Forecasts

Camulus (2/1), Robinsville (3/1), Exmoor Forest (7/2), Safe Destination (5/1), Ask Brewster (12/1), Gold Link (14/1), No But I Will (18/1), Mister Bells (50/1)

Verdict

EXMOOR FOREST is in good heart and is taken to resume winning ways. Safe Destination won't be far away again seeking his fourth win in 5 starts this season, while Camulus and Gold Link can't be discounted either in a decent handicap for the grade.
