Dunkerque^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 128

11/8

Arrives at the top of his game, having completed a 4-timer in similar event over 21f at Newton Abbot in June. Did all he could trying to concede weight to a chasing newcomer when runner-up in a 4-runner handicap chase at Cartmel and he's the most solid of these up in trip.

Form: 91-1112

Samuel Spade³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 124| D

7/4

Not the most fluent of hurdlers and he perhaps predictably found the fences getting in his way when well beaten on chase debut. Jumped much better when scoring at Worcester second time up in this sphere but was again held back by his jumping when second of 4 at Uttoxeter (3m) last month.

Form: 88-4152

Krak^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 116

5/2

Fairly useful hurdler. Yet to convince as a chaser and failed to build on the minor promise of his stable debut (formerly with Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies) when a soundly-beaten third of 4 in handicap chase at Cartmel (17f, good) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 70P-243

Forecasts

Dunkerque (11/8), Samuel Spade (7/4), Krak (5/2)

DUNKERQUE was denied the 5-timer by a much less-exposed rival at Cartmel last time and can swiftly resume winning ways. Samuel Spade should pose a bigger threat than Krak granted his suspect jumping doesn't prove too much of an issue.
