6/5
Useful hurdler who won 4 times last season, including when last seen in March at Kempton (21f) by ¾-length from Turndlightsdownlow, finding plenty to lead final 50 yds in steadily-run race. Has absence to overcome though interesting now sent chasing.

5/4
A 4-time winner this summer who's also won twice over C&D. 85/40, good second of 5 in handicap at Bangor (3m, good) 2 weeks ago. Did nothing wrong in defeat last time, but always a chance finishing effort could get tested if this becomes tactical.

5/1
Maiden hurdler who has taken time to find his feet over fences before winning twice over C&D in July. Ran well but was no match for Thickthorn Tom when second in C&D handicap 22 days ago. 8 lb out of the weights here and work required to reverse form with that rival with headgear discarded.

Forecasts

Intosomethinggood (6/5), Thickthorn Tom (5/4), It's A Breeze (5/1)

Verdict

INTOSOMETHINGGOOD was a much better hurdler than either of his rivals and a chance is taken on him to open his chasing account at the first time of asking. Thickthorn Tom appeals as the best option to chase him home in what could be a tactical race.
