Slow start to his chasing career but has left that behind with 4 wins from his last 5 outings, the latest when scoring in straightforward fashion at Newton Abbot (21f) in May. Major player after a break.

17/2
Useful handicap hurdler at best but little form since 2023/24, pulled up in 5 of his last 6 races including on his second chase start at Kempton (3m) in March. Off 6 months ahead of first run since leaving Paul Nicholls. Now switches to a visor.

3/1
Fairly useful hurdler, winning 5 times in handicaps, though not always the most straightforward. Making only second chase start (pulled up on first occasion), attracted support following another breathing operation but finished last of 4 over this C&D 11 days ago.

7/2
With 2 runs over hurdles behind him, took advantage of his reduced mark when landing the odds in 3-runner contest here (2¾m) last month, though one of his rivals failed to give their running. Now a 5-time course winner but faces a tougher ask in this contest.

12/1
Successful in handicaps at Stratford and over this C&D in May/June and probably would have won next 2 starts but for departing. Pulled up here on latest outing following a mistake at the third (sustained an overreach/lost a shoe), but she has the ability to be a big factor.

4/1
Scored 3 times switched to chasing last season, including twice at this course. Ran well when second over C&D in May, but poor efforts at Worcester the last twice. Needs to bounce back after 3 months off (has had a breathing operation).

Forecasts

Move With The Beat (5/2), American Land (3/1), Midnight Jewel (7/2), Majestic Moment (4/1), Emailandy (17/2), A Little Something (12/1)

Verdict

Preference is for MOVE WITH THE BEAT who has got the hang of things as a chaser with 4 wins from his last 5 starts. He can pick up where he left off to add to his tally, though A Little Something is one to note despite having failed to complete on her last 3 outings (looked the likely winner on first 2 occasions).

  1. Move With The Beat5/2
  2. A Little Something12/1
  3. Midnight Jewel7/2
