10/3

Point winner during the spring and off the mark under Rules on just his second chase start here (3m) 6 weeks ago, making all and responding well on long run-in (all fences in straight omitted). Has since left Fergal O'Brien but remains open to further improvement.

Form: P1-2631

Summerleaze⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 97

10/1

Much improved for current connections, easily completing a hurdles hat-trick at Stratford in May. Shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests on both starts over fences so far so remains with potential in this sphere.

Form: 11-1384

Reforme^h1³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton| OR: 92

12/1

Maiden hurdler who stepped up on his poor chase debut when sixth of 11 at Worcester but it wasn't an easy watch. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 02P4-56

Jimmyjeroo⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 91

11/2

Off the mark over fences at Hereford (20.9f) in April and backed that up with good second at Fontwell. Disappointed next 2 starts but back-to-form third at Newton Abbot in July, stamina just giving way at the longer trip (25.8f).

Form: 61-2343

Henry Box Brown²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 88

12/1

Twice a winner last season and looked as good as ever when twice runner-up at Worcester in July. Easy to excuse latest unseat (hampered) and can make presence felt.

Form: F1-U22U

Galway Reel^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 87

11/2

Modest maiden hurdler who failed to complete on chase bow and made hard work of things when third at Worcester next time.

Form: 32-26U3

Friars Island Lady^t⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 86| DWS

40/1

Irish point winner but not much encouragement in 3 novice hurdles for Sam Thomas in 2023/24 season and showed nothing for Sara Bradstock after 17 months off in maiden hurdle in May. Chase debut.

Form: 31P45/7

Getthepot^p,t⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 85| D

10/1

Latest win came around this time last year at Worcester. Found his sequence of runner-up finishes coming to an end when 23 lengths fourth of 8 to St Patricks Bridge here 6 weeks ago.

Form: 022-224

Crookbarrow^b,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 71| D

7/2

Little show over hurdles for Cynthia Woods but winning pointer subsequently and interesting now sent chasing for new yard. Watch betting.

Form: 3371-37

Caballo Diablo^p1⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: J R Barlow| OR: 67| D

12/1

Multiple point winner but has struggled under Rules, well-beaten fifth of 8 to St Patricks Bridge in handicap chase (15/2) at this course (21.4f, good) 42 days ago. Headgear on for 1st time. 6 lb out of the weights.

Form: P7073-5

Forecasts

St Patricks Bridge (10/3), Crookbarrow (7/2), Galway Reel (11/2), Jimmyjeroo (11/2), Getthepot (10/1), Summerleaze (10/1), Reforme (12/1), Caballo Diablo (12/1), Henry Box Brown (12/1), Friars Island Lady (40/1)

ST PATRICKS BRIDGE hasn't stood much racing but looks set to make up for lost time now after justifying support on his second chase start here 6 weeks ago. Summerleaze shaped better than the bare result for the second time in as many chase starts at Stratford and rates the main threat ahead of Henry Box Brown, who lost his rider through no fault of his own at Worcester.
