Cintex¹⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107

15/2

Arrives for his debut in this sphere with a patchy CV over hurdles, but his best form would entitled him to respect from this mark. Interesting.

Form: 27P0-2P

Between The Waters^p,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 103| BF

2/1

1-15 over fences, having scored two starts ago at Fontwell, when 8lb lower. Another good effort when beaten 1L from 1lb lower over C&D last time. Should be in the mix.

Form: 372312

Megaboost¹⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 102

33/1

Drops 3lb for this chase debut. Was not devoid of promise over hurdles, but others make greater appeal.

Form: 263P9-9

Sweet Destination^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: D E Mullins| T: G Ahern| OR: 96

5/2

0-11 under rules; conditions and trip no problem, but looking exposed and probably has each-way claims at best.

Form: F78234

Presenting Berkley^t,v²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 85| D

13/2

Scored at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in first-time tongue-tie in June, when 4lb lower. Has bettered that in defeat once since, but looks up against it for the win from this mark unless he can improve.

Form: P-81056

Intercooler Turbo^p1¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr S Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: P York| OR: 77

66/1

Won two of his 12 point-to-points, but rules form not encouraging. Others preferred.

Form: F/41550

Diplomatico¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 76

9/2

Went close over extended 2m at Newton Abbot in July. Good effort over C&D last time, when 5L third from 1lb higher. Likely to be involved from 1lb 'wrong'.

Form: 627443

Forecasts

Between The Waters (2/1), Sweet Destination (5/2), Diplomatico (9/2), Presenting Berkley (13/2), Cintex (15/2), Megaboost (33/1), Intercooler Turbo (66/1)

Not much depth to this and BETWEEN THE WATERS looks good enough to win again, having recently got his act together better in this discipline. Cintex is an interesting runner now going chasing, where he could improve, while Diplomatico is another for the short-list.
