Golan Loop30
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-1| J: R Patrick| T: W Greatrex| OR:  121| D
Bagged 22f novice hurdle at Ffos Las in May and further progress switched to fences this season, scoring at Hereford last month. Likeable type and can do better again.

Won 3 on the bounce over hurdles last season. Stepped up on chase bow/return when third at Wetherby last month. Got no further than the second at Warwick 9 days ago but remains with potential in this sphere.

My Bobby Dazzler40
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-3| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR:  109
Fairly useful at best but on a long losing run over hurdles, though trip too short last time. Winning chaser who is appreciably lower in weights than when last seen in sphere.

Got off the mark in this sphere at Market Rasen (2m5f) in May, responding well to this headgear. However, yet to fire this winter, poor third here latest. Cheekpieces back on now.

Ali Star Bert26
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-13| J: J M Quinlan| T: S A Harris| OR:  105| CD
Hasn't always been the most reliable but it's impossible to crab his record at Southwell, winning back-to-back over C&D in recent months. Back on a career-high mark as a result but still very much a player.

Rule Me In47
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-10| J: J J Burke| T: Christian Williams| OR:  102| BF| C
A fair 2m winner over hurdles who was held back by his jumping when third at Windsor, doing well to reach a place considering the severity of an early error. Worth another chance to show himself capable of better as a chaser.

Forecasts

Golan Loop (15/8), Kilbarry Hill (10/3), Ali Star Bert (4/1), Rule Me In (6/1), Kayce Dutton (10/1), My Bobby Dazzler (14/1), Lilting Verse (14/1)

Verdict

GOLAN LOOP confirmed the promise of his chasing debut when scoring at Hereford and looks capable of following up with further progress likely. Course specialist Ali Star Bert is an obvious threat as he goes for a C&D hat-trick, while Kilbarry Hill and Rule Me In both remain with potential in this sphere.
