Battle Of Ideas^b1,t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 107| CD

11/2

C&D winner but he dropped out quickly on return when fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f). Blinkers on now and bit to prove.

Form: 13234-4

Rebel Leader^t1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington| OR: 105

9/1

Irish point winner who made the frame in a couple of hurdles last autumn and again on chasing bow/return when third in 20f Southwell handicap. Should build on that so much respected.

Form: 1/32F-3

Between The Waters^p,t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Hicks⁽⁷⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 102

20/1

Dual chase winner around 20f in 2019 but well below par both runs since the restart. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 5525-54

Zen Master^p1³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: C J Mann| OR: 100

14/1

Fair but error-prone maiden chaser who arrives on back of poor effort in Uttoxeter handicap last month. Cheekpieces tried now with questions to answer.

Form: P62P-U8

Cheltenam De Vaige¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 100| CD

7/4

Comfortably justified strong support off a career-low mark in handicap chase over C&D 16 days ago. Up 5 lb but leading claims for yard among the winners.

Form: 31P-681

Hurricane Arcadio²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: M Blake| OR: 95

3/1

Hinted at promise before improved effort on his return when second of 10 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f). Merits consideration despite 3 lb rise.

Form: 5435P-2

Golden Poet^b²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Burke| OR: 92

8/1

Fair hurdler in Ireland for Denis Hogan who hinted at a revival for current yard when sixth of 12 to Fenlons Court over C&D, keeping on when badly hampered two out. Shortlisted.

Form: 50305-6

Quinto^p,t²⁹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: J D Frost| OR: 83| C

28/1

Scored in 25f handicap chase here but ended last season out of sorts and has nine-month absence to overcome too. Others make more appeal.

Form: 3/14545-

Massinis Adventure^p⁶⁹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: James Best| T: P Gundry| OR: 69

125/1

The Major^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Joshua Newman⁽⁷⁾| T: K Woollacott| OR: 69

40/1

Remains a maiden after 17 runs, and well held on return from 12 months off in handicap chase over C&D. Has it all on from 10 lb out of the handicap.

Form: U/6845-9

Forecasts

Cheltenam De Vaige (7/4), Hurricane Arcadio (3/1), Fenlons Court (4/1), Battle Of Ideas (11/2), Golden Poet (8/1), Rebel Leader (9/1), Zen Master (14/1), Between The Waters (20/1), Quinto (28/1), The Major (40/1), Massinis Adventure (125/1)

Fergal O'Brien has his string in fine form so CHELTENAM DE VAIGE is fancied to defy a 5 lb rise for his comfortable C&D win at the chief expense of Hurricane Arcadio, who resumed with an excellent second at Uttoxeter and remains less exposed than most of these.
