Wild West Beer Fest Saturday 26th September Handicap Chase

Winning hurdler/maiden chaser who's gone close on occasions in this sphere. Off 14 months and left Lucinda Russell before a creditable second at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) on return in May. This is just his second run for the yard and he merits consideration with the tongue strap back on.

Gained a second chasing victory at Huntingdon in October but has been below form since. Continues to fall in the weights but needs to show some old spark before becoming of interest.

Veteran who hit the target twice over fences in 2025 (including over C&D) but has been struggling for form since finishing second at Wetherby in November.

Benefited from step up in trip when making second chase start a successful one at Southwell (3m) in November. 7/2, wasted no time getting back on track when second of 4 in handicap at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) in early June. Has now dropped 1 lb below last winning mark and merits consideration.

Sole success came in a C&D handicap chase last year. Made a fine return hurdling when second at Uttoxeter in May before possibly finding that outing coming too soon when pulled up there 8 days later. Returns to chasing from a mark 3 lb higher than when last seen in this sphere.

Modest chaser who won a 4-runner conditionals handicap at Newton Abbot in September. Rather in-and-out form since but has a chance back chasing if returning to the form that saw her finish second at Ffos Las on reappearance in May.

Unreliable type who had his run of placed efforts ended at Southwell last month before bouncing back at Bangor, though needed some early cajoling. Veteran who remains vulnerable for win purposes.

Made a winning start to chasing at Bangor (3m) in April before shaping as if still ahead of his mark when placed on last 2 outings at Southwell. The hood is discarded here but he's one to be interested in again.

Inconsistent performer but shaped as if retaining ability when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Bangor (3m) in May after 19 months off. Needs to back it up.
