Templier^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: William Clarke⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 114| D

10/1

Won a Plumpton novices' contest last December and has been set some tough tasks since. Shaped as if he was on his way back to form at Wincanton last time out and from the same mark has an each-way shout.

Form: 4785-02

Stonecoldsoba⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: C Gethings| T: D P Quinn| OR: 114| D

25/1

Showed improvement in the spring/summer culminating in back-to-back wins at Worcester (2m4f, good) and Uttoxeter (2m, good). Up 9lb for the latter and well held on the Flat since, so needs to find more to complete a hat-trick in this sphere.

Magic Dancer^p,t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 113

3/1

In the frame in six of his nine hurdles though remains a maiden in this discipline. Back to somewhere near the best he has produced on his stable debut at Ludlow (2m, good) last time. Improvement not ruled out, though needs a bit to break his duck.

Form: 2/329-72

Salto Chisco⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: James Bowen⁽³⁾| T: H Whittington| OR: 113| CD

4/1

Has been in good form of late, winning a Newton Abbot handicap hurdle (2m1f, good) in August and scoring over fences last time. Handles good to soft, though best form on good, but should give a very good account from this winning chase mark.

The Blue Bomber²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Bridget Andrews| T: C Fryer| OR: 112

16/1

Is proving a bit expensive to follow after being placed six times from 11 National Hunt starts. Makes his handicap/stable debut today and looks to be fairly treated on his best, though had gone off the boil in the spring and has a bit to prove.

King's Tempest¹⁸⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁶⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 110| D

7/1

Has had a few problems since winning a Warwick bumper on debut in 2014, but when he turns up he has a bit of ability. Went close in a maiden hurdle last season and handicapper has given him a chance on his debut in this sphere. Enters calculations.

Form: P/9P23-3

Cashanova¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 109

4/1

Placed in a couple of handicap hurdles last season from 1lb higher than today and handles good to soft ground. Put in a respectable effort on his return to action at Fakenham at the start of the month but needs to improve on that.

Form: 4374-B5

Kalaskadesemilley^t1⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Cheesman| T: J Farrelly| OR: 103| D

33/1

Sole success was on good in a Stratford novices' hurdle 13 months ago. Could give him a squeak on his run back at that venue in June when 4lb higher than today, but otherwise largely more miss than hit of late and not easy to fancy on stable debut.

Form: 6-63958

Jumping Jack⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 108

11/2

Best form so far has been shown on a sound/fast surface, so the forecast conditions are a bit of a concern. That aside, we know he can be very competitive from this mark, so if he does handle what is underfoot then he could run into the prizes.

Form: 4322

Forecasts

Magic Dancer (3/1), Salto Chisco (4/1), Cashanova (4/1), Jumping Jack (11/2), King's Tempest (7/1), Templier (10/1), The Blue Bomber (16/1), Stonecoldsoba (25/1), Kalaskadesemilley (33/1)

SALTO CHISCO arrives in good form and on the same mark as when winning over fences last time out and is a relatively confident selection. Magic Dancer is a potential threat, though he keeps finding something to beat him and that has to be a bit of a negative. King's Tempest could go well from a more realistic mark on his handicap debut, while Stonecoldsoba, Jumping Jack and Templier cannot be ruled out.
