Surrey Quest^t¹⁷⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan| T: T Lawes| OR: 133

10/1

Dual hurdles winner who is better known for his chase exploits for present yard, runner-up in 2024 Scottish Grand National. Placed on 2 occasions prior to falling in this year's corresponding race and it's possible he'll come on for this first start for 6 months back over timber.

6/1

Proved better than ever to land a double/defy another weights rise (following another breathing operation) when winning an 8-runner handicap at Cartmel in August. Had winning run ended but ran creditably when third at Perth (23.9f) 10 days ago and revised mark demands that bit more.

Lipa K^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 118| D

4/1

Essentially been in very good form this summer, racking up a fourth success at Bangor following a break when cosily taking a 7-runner handicap over 23f 30 days ago. 6 lb higher mark to defy now but respected if arriving in same groove.

Form: 46-2161

Roger Pol¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁷⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 118| CD

13/8

Kicked off present campaign with success in a 3-runner C&D handicap and, following a pair of lesser efforts, he returned to form when finishing a good third back here 3 weeks ago. Another holding claims with a repeat from what is a competitive mark.

Form: 3P-1033

Wa Wa^t¹⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 115| D

4/1

Built on the promise of his stable debut at the second attempt when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (26.6f) in April. Nothing wrong with his second place finish over C&D when last seen in May and he returns from a break with his yard still very much amongst the winners.

Form: P0251-2

My Bobby Dazzler¹⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 113

8/1

Losing run stretches back over 2 years and proving more miss than hit when last seen earlier this year, well held last of 13 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to firm, 14/1) in May. Assessor has afforded him a chance.

Forecasts

Roger Pol (13/8), Wa Wa (4/1), Lipa K (4/1), Supremely West (5/1), Imperial Data (6/1), My Bobby Dazzler (8/1), Surrey Quest (10/1)

No shortage of chances despite the small field with C&D winner ROGER POL given the narrow vote. He returned to form when third over C&D 3 weeks ago and any further forecast rain promises to hold no fears for Jamie Snowden's 7-y-o. Imperial Data is holding his form well for last year's winning stable and is feared. Wa Wa, Supremely West and Bangor scorer Lipa K aren't ruled out either.
