Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: David England| T: O Murphy| OR: 110| DWS

5/1

Raised 9lb following a comfortable win at Fontwell late last month but has undergone wind surgery since then. Clearly in good heart and if breathing op has helped he may still be ahead of the handicapper.

Form: P5-9P61

Royals And Rebels^b,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 107| CD

11/1

Scored over this trip at Fontwell in May but has been badly out of form since then. Not disgraced over hurdles last time so not out of the question he could stage a revival.

Form: 4-1FPP5

Little Windmill^p,t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: N B King| OR: 106| CD

5/2

Won over hurdles and fences (C&D) this summer and decent third over hurdles last time at Southwell. 10lb higher than last win though so will need to raise his game again to land the spoils.

11/4

Won at Fontwell last term and at Worcester in July off 4lb higher mark. Raised further 5lb and failed by just half a length over C&D last time. Up another 5lb but seemed to relish the longer trip and has decent claims.

Form: 2614-12

Leg Lock Luke^b,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: R Johnson| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 106

11/2

Has questions to answer after pulling up last time out at Fontwell having previously won well at Ffos Las in May. MIght have needed the run and should strip fitter but needs to return to best to score.

Form: 334-U1P

Celtic Thunder^b²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: O Murphy| OR: 85| BF

11/2

Odds-on when pulled up on return to Rules last time on debut for new connections. Most backers may not be too forgiving but some will be prepared to chance him again in receipt of lots of weight all round.

Form: 155U-1P

Forecasts

Little Windmill (5/2), Orchestrated (11/4), More Than Luck (5/1), Leg Lock Luke (11/2), Celtic Thunder (11/2), Between The Waters (8/1), Royals And Rebels (11/1)

ORCHESTRATED might be the answer here in a race where there are questions marks hanging over most of the contenders. Went close off 5lb lower mark last time and similar effort may be good enough here. More Than Luck has to concede weight all round but a breathing op might have helped and he should prove a big danger, while Royals And Rebels might be worth a glance after running with some credit over hurdles last time. Celtic Thunder might be better than we saw last time, but the jury's out.
