7/4

Reinvigorated by the switch to James Owen, running out a convincing winner back over fences at Uttoxeter in May. Fell next time before 2 good runner-up efforts, but was well beaten at Market Rasen (23.9f, soft) last month. No surprise to see him bounce back, though.

Form: 21F226

16/5

Fair hurdles winner and off the mark at fifth attempt over fences when making all at Worcester (23f, good to soft) in June, though odds-on favourite Leading Force didn't give his running. Below his best on the Flat last 2 starts so will need to find more back chasing.

Form: 2/45-U41

Solo Flight^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Godfrey| T: H Brown| OR: 96

4/1

Fair form at best over hurdles but wasn't able to match that level in 3 starts over fences in July, making mistakes when third of 15 in handicap at Wexford (25.5f, good to soft) latest outing. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell.

Form: 0/20-963

To Be Sure^v1⁴³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 91

5/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023 but arrives in decent heart, making the frame for third consecutive start when fourth of 8 in handicap at Worcester (23f, good to soft) in July. Can give another good account with visor now the choice of headgear.

Form: P2U2-34

Forecasts

Jet Smart (11/10), Leading Force (7/4), To Be Sure (5/2), Masterdream (16/5), Solo Flight (4/1)

JET SMART has confirmed himself an improved performer back under Rules on his last 2 starts, scoring with a bit to spare at Uttoxeter last month, and he is taken to land the hat-trick in his current form. To Be Sure has been running well since returned to chasing and could be the main danger, ahead of Leading Force.
