Settings
Selected odds by:
First start since April when sixth of nine at Taunton 13 days ago, running well until lack of a recent outing took its toll. Should strip fitter and is down 2lb.
Better record over hurdles than fences, but did not run too badly when finishing in mid-division at Newbury last time. Bit to find off the same mark, however.
Long way in front of the third when close second over 2m4f at Lingfield earlier this month. Shorter trip not guaranteed to suit.
Latest of five wins over fences came at Fakenham last month. Well held at Haydock on Saturday and is turned out quickly off the same mark.
Long way behind Beau Bay at Taunton and has plenty to do off 3lb lower. Chance if returning to the form of his Ludlow success in April.
Back to back wins earlier this year and was returning from a break when a good second of eight at Exeter last month. Might just have need that and looks a player off 2lb higher.
Having his first run since May when a fair fifth of 12 over hurdles at this track 20 days ago. Should be sharper and return to fences will suit.
Forecasts
Admiral's Secret (11/4), Bally Longford (11/4), Un Beau Roman (4/1), Beau Bay (11/2), Ontopoftheworld (13/2), Dicosimo (12/1), Valseur Du Granval (20/1)
An ordinary handicap chase so it would be no surprise to see Beau Bay concede weight all round after a good reappearance run at Taunton. However, he may have his work cut out to contain ADMIRAL'S SECRET, who ran well following a break at Exeter and remains feasibly weighted. Bally Longford, Un Beau Roman and Valseur Du Granval are also respected.
