8/1

Better than ever after 5 months off when winning 3-runner handicap off this mark at Stratford in May but most disappointing next 3 starts. Something to prove.

Form: 1P-1P5P

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 138| D

10/3

Did well as a novice chaser last season, winning twice, including a valuable event at Carlisle. Remains unexposed at this trip and needs considering.

Gaelik Coast¹⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 134

11/4

Quickly developed into a useful chaser last season, winning novices at Fakenham (2m) and Musselburgh (2½m). Let down by jumping in hotter company at Aintree final start and can get back on track.

5/2

Doubled his tally over fences when making all at Uttoxeter (2½m) in June. Lost little caste in defeat when runner-up all 3 starts since but probably high enough in the weights now.

Form: 34-1222

Road Warrior^t¹⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: R Menzies| OR: 124| D

5/1

Transformed since the turn of the year, completing hat-trick at Sedgefield on final start in April, forging clear. Usual headgear discarded on return but remains of interest.

Forecasts

Yccs Portocervo (5/2), Gaelik Coast (11/4), Whoshotthesheriff (10/3), Road Warrior (5/1), Lock's Corner (8/1)

ROAD WARRIOR was full value for his wide-margin win when completing the hat-trick at Sedgefield in April and could prove hard to pass if ready to go. Whoshotthesheriff did well as a novice chaser last season and is a solid alternative, while Gaelik Coast looks capable off his current mark if getting his jumping together.
