5/2

Opened chase account at Wincanton in November and doubled tally in another small-field affair at Stratford in March. Rare poor effort at latter track 2 months later and off since, leaving Suzy Smith in that time. More likely than not to bounce back given overall profile.

Form: 42313-4

7/2

Notched 2½m handicap chase double last summer. In good form when twice runner-up behind upwardly-mobile winners in May, latterly long way ahead of Lermoos Legend at Worcester and he stayed 23f well when occupying same spot 18 days ago.

Form: 311-222

Lermoos Legend^p,t¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 113| CD

5/2

Won twice around this time last year, including over C&D and also fourth in this race. Left the impression he should have finished closer still when third of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel in July and pair of runner-up efforts since confirm he's in top form.

Form: 62-7322

American Land^t¹¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 112| BF| DWS

9/4

Hasn't always looked the most straightforward but has a fine strike rate in handicaps, winning 5 times overall over hurdles. Didn't look happy from a long way out at Newton Abbot in June and off since but he's had a breathing operation and the assessor has given him a big chance back chasing.

Form: 11442-P

Forecasts

American Land (9/4), Tapley (5/2), Lermoos Legend (5/2), Jet Smart (7/2)

A case can be made for all 4 but a chance is taken on AMERICAN LAND, who goes back chasing from an exploitable mark on the back of a breathing operation. Lermoos Legend is in fine form so should be bang there again.
