9/2

Finally capitalised on a falling mark over a trip looking a bare minimum for him nowadays over hurdles at Market Rasen (20.5f) in May. Went about things in laboured fashion when second in a 6-runner chase at Stratford (19f) 3 weeks ago and he might remain vulnerable to speedier rivals at the trip.

Form: 8P5-142

11/1

Two hunter chase wins this year and also a creditable sixth in the Aintree Foxhunter in April. Plugged on into second in a 4-runner handicap chase at Newton Abbot when last seen and it would be no surprise if this acted as a pipe-opener after a 4-month break (down the field in this race last year).

Form: 71416-2

Karnaval Point^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 125| CD

7/2

Dual chase winner in France and matched that tally in 3 starts over fences for new yard this summer. Well held over hurdles next time but swiftly back to form reverted to chasing when third of 7 in handicap chase (8/1) at Cartmel (21f, good to soft) 10 days ago.

Form: 1-13163

Glen To Glen^p⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: Nick Scholfield| OR: 132| D

9/2

Useful Flat performer who won a juvenile maiden hurdle at Cork (17f) in December for Joseph O'Brien. Overcame a mixed round of jumping to make a winning yard debut over fences at Perth in August (form reads well) and it's easy to overlook his recent Flat spin.

Form: 710-5R1

11/8

Point/hurdles winner who, after 5 months off, opened his chase account with a clear-cut success at Stratford 2 weeks ago and made light of a 3-day turnaround to follow up in comfortable fashion at Fontwell (2¾m, good to firm). That form has already been franked and the hat-trick beckons.

Form: 444P-11

Forecasts

Youdecide (11/8), Karnaval Point (7/2), Crebilly (9/2), Glen To Glen (9/2), Snipe (11/1)

YOUDECIDE jumped and travelled with plenty of fluency when scoring at Fontwell 13 days ago and he can take the step up in grade in his stride to complete the hat-trick. Glen To Glen is much respected on the strength of his winning stable debut at Perth, whilst Karnaval Point has had a good summer and also can't be ruled out.
