3/1
Cashed in on the falls of two rivals at the last when winning at Fakenham last season. Well held on two subsequent starts and is on a lenient mark if back to form after a lay-off.

5/1
Came a cropper at Chepstow last time, but two previous efforts, one of them over C&D, were encouraging. Likely to be thereabouts if putting in a clear round.

Age: 8|  Weight: 10-12| J: Bryony Frost(3)| T: J D Frost| OR:  86
10/3
Pulled up on last two starts and has questions to answer following those displays. Has failed to win in nine starts over fences.

13/8
Only two wins in 15 races over fences, but both have been achieved at this venue, latterly over 2m5½f last month. Up 6lb and has solid claims.

50/1
Pulled up in a point-to-point and a handicap chase on last two starts. Clearly comes with risks attached and is hard to recommend.

16/1
Last win came over C&D in May, last year. Disappointing since and, 6lb out of the handicap, has much lesser claims than stable companion Hardtorock.

Forecasts

Hardtorock (13/8), Morney Wing (3/1), Quinto (10/3), Chill In The Wood (5/1), Flugzeug (16/1), Broughtons Bandit (50/1)

16:35 Fontwell - 24 October 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Morney Wing is undeniably well handicapped if returning to form, but Hardtorock and CHILL IN THE WOOD look more reliable propositions and the latter gets a narrow vote on the assumption his recent fall has not dented his confidence. The others make little appeal.
  1. Chill In The Wood
  2. Hardtorock
  3. Morney Wing
