10/3

Placed in the Kerry and Munster Nationals Willie Mullins last season. Good second at Uttoxeter in May (final start for Michael Keady) and he was in the mix for a long way in the very competitive Summer Plate on his first outing for Sara Bradstock.

Form: 9990-28

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 135| C| D

9/2

Unreliable type who ended a losing run with a bold front-running display at Aintree (25f, good) when last seen in May. Still on a competitive mark but mixed record this year raises doubts about him backing it up.

Form: 632U6-1

Young Buster^p,t⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 133| C

11/2

Better than ever when successful over 3m at Kempton in April. Disappointed at Uttoxeter in July but favourably treated if he can bounce back to the Kempton form after a further 2 months off.

Form: P/2571-8

Ile De Jersey²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 127

15/8

In good form this summer, winning handicap hurdle and chase over 2½m. Creditable placed efforts at Uttoxeter (23f, hurdle) and Cartmel (21f, chase) since.

Form: 66-1132

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 123| D

9/2

Useful chaser at his best who took advantage of a slipping mark at Uttoxeter in July. Creditable third of 6 at Bangor (3m, good) since.

Form: 30-3313

Forecasts

Ile De Jersey (15/8), Horantzau D'airy (10/3), Sail Away (9/2), Presentandcounting (9/2), Young Buster (11/2)

A trappy affair. YOUNG BUSTER remains well treated on the form of his wide-margin win at Kempton in the spring and is given a chance to atone for a lesser effort at Uttoxeter since. Horantzau d'Airy should find this easier than the Summer Plate and is second choice.
