33/1

Placed over 2m4f at Haydock (good) in a valuable handicap chase in April but struggled when 89L eighth over 2m5f at Cartmel (good) in June on his most recent appearance. Worth a check in the market on return from a break.

Form: 24412-8

5/1

Returning from a break when victorious over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen (good) in September. Disappointed over the same C&D on good-to-soft going three weeks later and races off a mark 4lb higher than for that latest success.

Form: 2PPP-17

Just Don't Ask^t1³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Aidan Coleman| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 126| D

7/1

Promising effort in finishing 10½L third in a handicap chase over an extended 2m3f at Wetherby (soft) on seasonal debut early last month. Trip and ground both in his favour here and is one to note with a tongue tie tried for the first time.

Form: 11/717-3

Keep Moving²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 124| D

9/2

Winning for the third time over fences when triumphant by 4½L in a 2m4f handicap chase at Wincanton (good-to-soft) last month. One for the shortlist despite a 6lb rise in the weights.

Form: 4251-F1

Sandy Beach^p,t²⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 123WS

11/1

Good third over an extended 3m6f on good-to-soft ground here in February but finished a well beaten ninth over 3m here the following month. Had wind surgery since and is probably best watched down in trip on seasonal debut.

Form: 2/15P39-

Espoir De Guye³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 121| D

1/1

Finished runner-up on both starts since wind surgery including when 4½L second on chase and seasonal debut over 2m at Chepstow (soft) a month ago. Strong claims with step up in distance likely to suit.

Form: 5172-2

Forecasts

Espoir De Guye (1/1), Keep Moving (9/2), Luckofthedraw (5/1), Just Don't Ask (7/1), Sandy Beach (11/1), Deauville Dancer (16/1), Princeton Royale (33/1)

ESPOIR DE GUYE receives weight all round here and he can get off the mark at the second time of asking over fences by taking this handicap event. The selection can see off last time out winner Keep Moving while third place can go to Just Don't Ask who finished a good third on his seasonal reappearance.
