In good form in spring/early summer but has questions to answer after 3 successive below-par efforts.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: R T Dunne| T: B R Summers| OR: 111| D

16/1

Made first chase start for 2 years a winning one at Southwell (2½m) in April but hasn't gone on as expected in 3 starts since. First run for yard after leaving Olly Murphy.

Form: 191-494

Playful Fox^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 108

5/4

Much improved over hurdles this summer (won twice) and has continued the good work switched to fences, winning Newton Abbot handicap (2m, good) 17 days ago. More to come and can make light of a 5 lb rise back up in trip.

Form: 121551

Forecasts

Playful Fox (4/6), Court In A Storm (2/1), Ukantango (10/1), Coastguard Station (14/1)

A 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent PLAYFUL FOX following up his Newton Abbot success. Fellow last-time-out winner Court In A Storm is the one likely to give him most to do.
