Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Jamie Neild⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 130| DWS

6/4

Multiple hurdles winner who also scored twice over fences in November. Capitulated both starts to end last season but another breathing operation may help him and his record fresh and form of the yard are both big positives. Can bounce back with a bang.

9/2

Won at Newcastle over 2½m in April and good second of 7 following a breathing operation at Hexham (2m) in June. Looked stretched trying 3m for first time at Perth and quickly back on his game when third over 19f at Stratford, albeit finishing tired. Cheekpieces on back from break.

Form: 41-5253

Forecasts

Breizh River (6/4), Josh The Boss (2/1), Parisencore (9/2), Genois (5/1)

The autumn has been the time to catch JOSH THE BOSS in the past and representing a bang-in-form yard, he could be the way to go on reappearance post breathing operation. Breizh River drops in class and is the obvious threat.
