Winless last term but he was in front and looked in control when unseated rider 3 out in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, good) in April. Must enter calculations on his return.

11/4

Much improved sent chasing when getting off the mark in 4-runner handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good to soft) in June. Should have more to offer over this longer trip. Big shout.

Jobesgreen Lad^b,t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Harvey Barfoot-Saunt⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Tracey Barfoot-Saunt| OR: 85

100/1

Yet to show any form of note for his current yard, eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm, 500/1) 16 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 33PPP8

Invictus Allen^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 82

3/1

Built on his reappearance after an absence when fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, good to firm, 9/1) 26 days ago. Did too much too soon there so needs considering off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 613P-55

Annie Nail¹³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Tracey Leeson| OR: 79

16/1

Scored over fences at Fakenham in May but came in a remote third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good, 11/2) 139 days ago. Not discounted back over fences though.

Form: 555-133

Bahtiyar¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁷⁾| T: M Young| OR: 77

6/1

Remains a long-standing maiden and he came in a well-held third of 5 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 53PP53

Outback Frontiers^p⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 71| C

9/1

Last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) 43 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase with plenty to prove.

Form: 59P-050

Forecasts

Tedwin Hills (2/1), Yorgunnabeplucky (11/4), Invictus Allen (3/1), Bahtiyar (6/1), Outback Frontiers (9/1), Annie Nail (16/1), Jobesgreen Lad (100/1)

YORGUNNABEPLUCKY proved a different model sent chasing when scoring at Ffos Las in early summer and can make light of a 2 lb rise here. Invictus Allen could emerge as the main danger off a slipping mark, although the returning Tedwin Hills is also weighted to have a say and Annie Nail enters calculations too back in this sphere.
