Champagne City⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 128| D

7/2

Returned from a 3-month break to pick up his third win from his last 4 starts in 2m handicap at Worcester 40 days ago, keeping on well. Nudged up 4 lb but still remains well treated on old form.

Form: 081-121

Pasvolsky¹⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 128

10/3

Displayed progressive form under Rules last season, gaining a third win in 2m novice at Kempton in March. Down the field in 14-runner Sandown handicap final outing but he's well worth another chance.

Form: 211210-

Thibault^t¹⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: J E Moore| T: A West| OR: 127

13/2

Thrived for new yard last term, landing handicaps at Plumpton and Hereford before bagging Lingfield jumpers' bumper. Good efforts in competitive events after so looks a threat on return to action.

Form: 1U1245-

Wasdell Dundalk^p⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 123

5/2

Has improved to win his last 2 starts in handicap hurdles at Worcester (2m), digging deep to edge ahead final 50 yds on latest outing in July. Likely to go well in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 53-2311

Small Bad Bob⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson| OR: 116| D

7/2

Stood out on form and made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in 5-runner novice at Newton Abbot (18.5f, heavy) in July. Merits respect back in handicap company.

Form: 545-221

Forecasts

Wasdell Dundalk (5/2), Pasvolsky (10/3), Small Bad Bob (7/2), Champagne City (7/2), Thibault (13/2)

PASVOLSKY was well held at Sandown when last seen, but some of his earlier novice form reads quite nicely so he's worth another chance with this slightly longer trip expected to suit. Thibault was a good advertisement for his small yard last term and looks a threat having not been disgraced in much deeper handicaps than this on his last 3 outings. Wasdell Dundalk is also well respected.
