Cintex^p1³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 104

20/1

First run since May when a distant third of seven at Plumpton last month, Should be sharper now and is 3lb lower, but first-time cheekpieces need to have a galvanising effect.

Form: 7P0-2P3

The Ogle Gogle Man^p,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: N D Fehily| T: C J Mann| OR: 99| BF

1/1

Still a miaden after six attempts over fences, but is getting the hangs of things and ran his best race so far over the bigger obstacles when just touched off at Ludlow. Up 5lb, but is one for the short list.

Form: 336-322

Robin Deuz Pois²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: P J Brennan| T: P R Webber| OR: 91

7/2

Maiden hurdler whose debut run over fences saw her finish a 17L second of five at Huntingdon. Improvement likely and is able to run off the same rating.

Form: 06-4442

Murphy's Nails²⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: J E Moore| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 89

12/1

Only limited promise over hurdles and was pulled up when last sighted at Chepstow in April. Could do better now he is switched to fences, but others have stronger profiles.

Form: 85/39P-

Future Boy¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: R Dickin| OR: 88

12/1

Point-to-point runner-up who was unplaced in five starts over hurdles. Chasing debut and should do better, but will need to do.

Form: P/00-070

Findusatgorcombe^t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Bryony Frost| T: J D Frost| OR: 80| CD

4/1

Won a C&D contest in June under this jockey and hinted at a return to form when second at this venue last time. Feasibly handicapped and has chasing experience on his side.

Form: 12PP92

Forecasts

The Ogle Gogle Man (1/1), Robin Deuz Pois (7/2), Findusatgorcombe (4/1), Murphy's Nails (12/1), Future Boy (12/1), Cintex (20/1)

Robin Deuz Pois can improve on her chasing debut and make her presence felt, while The Ogle Gogle Man has to enter calculations after a good effort last time. However, he has gone up 5lb despite being beaten and, at the bottom end of the handicap, FINDUSATGORCOMBE is preferred. He is only 3lb higher than when winning over C&D in the summer and may be able to get his head in front again. The others have question marks against them.
