7/4

Winner over 2½m over hurdles for B. F. Brookhouse but shaped like a chaser and duly made a successful debut over fences (following another wind op) on first start for Dan Skelton at Kelso last month, despite a few bad mistakes. Looks up to winning more races.

Form: 15626-1

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 100| D

9/4

Disappointed in two starts as a chaser but was revitalised over hurdles last season, winning a 6-runner handicap easily at Ffos Las (23f, heavy) before following up on better ground at Exeter, the three chasing him home all winning next time. Looks well worth another try over fences.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 79| D

9/4

Broke his maiden under much less testing conditions than previously faced over fences when winning an 8-runner handicap chase (at Lingfield (23.5f, good) 10 days ago, capitalising on falling mark. Remains to be seen if he can back that up under a penalty in a better race.

13/2

Much improved when off the mark on chase debut at Ffos Las (16f) in June and matched that form upped in distance (following 4 months off) when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Stratford (22.6f) last month. May improve again returned to a more galloping track over a longer trip.

DIAMOND DEALER survived a few scares when making a successful chase debut at Kelso last month and can follow up on just his second start for Dan Skelton. Yorgunnabeplucky chased home a subsequent winner last time and may improve returning to a more galloping track over a longer trip, while River Voyage was resurgent over hurdles last season and looks well worth another try over fences.
