Horse A-Z
Dual point winner who ran his best race over fences second of 5 here (17f) in May. Proved to be a disappointment back over hurdles at Worcester (2m) but could easily bounce back reverting to chasing after a break.

1/1
Point/hurdles winner who has shown an aptitude for chasing, going off too hard at Warwick before seeming stretched by the step up to 3m at Kempton in February. Folded tamely at Wetherby on final outing but drop back in trip should suit after 5-month break and yard seems to be hitting form.

Had been one to treat with caution but doing very little wrong when last seen, gaining third win from last 4 starts at Huntingdon (2½m, good) in May, going with enthusiasm. Now 16 lb higher than for the first of those wins but still likely to be on the premises if picking up where he left off.

Is becoming well handicapped and produced his most encouraging display since joining current connections when third in 3m handicap chase at Warwick on most recent outing in June, going with enthusiasm. Back on last successful mark and one to consider.

Surpassed hurdles form at the first attempt when second of 6 at Southwell (2½m) in June but has looked one with problems both starts since.

Uninspiring form over hurdles and has fared little better in 2 handicap chases, including in a first-time tongue strap latest.

Hasn't won since landing a handicap chase at Newcastle in December 2024 but stopped the slide to some extent back over fences when third in 8-runner event at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 37 days ago, losing second on the line. Needs to build on that now from 4 lb out of the weights.

Opened account when making all here (17f) in May last year but has shown very little for a while now and seems set for another struggle from 4 lb out of the weights again.

Forecasts

Youdecide (1/1), Bobbarelli (5/1), Kings Order (13/2), Watchoutitscookie (8/1), Jack Doyen (9/1), Pescatorius (12/1), Crackerjack Queen (14/1), Fox Wallace (40/1)

Verdict

YOUDECIDE folded tamely at Wetherby on his final outing last season but the drop back in trip should suit after a 5-month break and he looks worth chancing, especially with his yard beginning to hit form (2 recent winners). Pescatorius is back down to his last winning mark and needs considering after posting his most encouraging effort yet for his present yard at Warwick in June. Jack Doyen was thriving when last seen in the spring and is sure to be thereabouts if picking up where he left off.
