7/1
20L winner of a Stratford Hunters Chase in April (2m6f+ good), he has filled the runner up spot on three occasions since including when beaten 12L in a Class 4 handicap by Braqueur D'Or latest. Vulnerable to any improver, off top-weight.

Won once in 13 attempts over hurdles (at Market Rasen in April), but has largely done okay in three goes over fences, simply beaten by far superior horses, including when a 4L runner up to Lovely Job here last month (3m good).

Closely matched with Brian Boranha on Market Rasen form from July. His earlier runner up effort to a thriving Petrou at Uttoxeter (2m6f+) represents fair form for this grade, and if the tongue tie helps should be thereabouts.

Had problems, but nursed back to health in Point-to-Points by Alan Hill (dual 3m scorer in March 2016). Back from another break at Fontwell last month (out of his depth), but requires an improved showing in cheek-pieces nonetheless.

Didn't make his mark over hurdles, and beaten in a match at Carlisle in May, but better over fences so far including when a surprise 12/1 winner of a 3m1f+ Newton Abbot novices handicap on debut in late June.

BRIAN BORANHA bumped into an above average staying chaser for the time of the year in the shape of Lovely Job at the last meeting here in August (C&D), and his career overall has taken a slight upward curve since switched to fences. Whilst he's closely matched with River Of Intrigue on Market Rasen form from July, his latest effort was a better showing, and he's worth chancing in a relatively open contest despite the lack of numbers..
  1. Brian Boranha
  2. River Of Intrigue
  3. Oriental Fixer
