13/2
Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser who got right back on track when second in 2m4f handicap chase at Warwick 13 months ago. Has won off a break so must enter calculations despite his long absence.

17/2
A fairly useful 2m hurdles winner at his best but he had wind surgery before coming in only ninth of 11 in handicap at Bangor (20.3f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 48 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now.

11/2
A three-time chase scorer (at up to 3m) last season but he was pulled up in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) on his return last month. Needs to get back on track.

12/1
Unreliable type who turned in one of his lesser efforts when fifth of 6 in handicap chase over C&D 30 days ago. Tongue strap back on but others appeal more.

4/1
Front runner who returned better than ever when scoring at Stratford and Warwick this autumn. Not at all discredited when fourth of 7 in 2m4f handicap at Newcastle 30 days ago so needs considering.

2/1
A fair bumper/hurdles winner who is very much a chaser on looks and shaped well when third of 7 in handicap at Sedgefield (19.3f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 38 days ago. That form has been franked so he's a player with more to offer here.

Got off the mark in this sphere at Market Rasen (2m5f) in May and badly hampered when unseated rider 11th over C&D 12 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Forecasts

Groovy Blue (2/1), Tedwin Hills (4/1), Kayce Dutton (11/2), Heard That (11/2), Charles Ritz (13/2), Tradecraft (17/2), Quick Sharpener (12/1)

Verdict

Ben Pauling's GROOVY BLUE made a promising start in this sphere when third at Sedgefield and with the first two having gone in since he gets a confident vote to add to his earlier bumper/hurdling victories. The returning Charles Ritz could emerge as the main threat given his good record when fresh, while Tedwin Hills and Kayce Dutton need factoring in too.

  1. Groovy Blue2/1
  2. Charles Ritz13/2
  3. Tedwin Hills4/1
