Galeforcechopper^h,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Liam Harrison| T: D Brace| OR: 99| D

9/2

Ridden in contrast to previously and caused an enormous upset in 9-runner maiden hurdle at Worcester 16 days ago, holding on gamely. Has to prove that effort wasn't a flash in the pan now handicapping.

Form: 39-691

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 97

11/10

Fair form on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger. Similar form over hurdles when twice runner-up for her new yard but she did fold rather tamely minus the hood at Warwick in June. Off since but the equipment goes back on, which should help her cause.

Form: 5226-4

Getarose¹⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 79

11/8

Dropped a long way in the weights last season and ended the campaign with a promising third at Newton Abbot in April. Really should be a factor at this level if fully tuned for this.

Form: 068443-

Forecasts

Siorai (11/10), Getarose (11/8), Galeforcechopper (9/2)

This looks trappy with all 3 having positives and negatives about their profile. The re-application of a hood should help SIORAI settle so she is given the tentative vote over shock Worcester scorer Galeforcechopper and returning Getarose.
