Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 138| C

9/2

Useful hurdler (course winner) who has taken well to fences, winning brace of novice events at Worcester this summer. Similar form on handicap debut at that venue and now goes up in trip.

Form: 25-1313

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

5/6

Looked a good prospect when winning 6-runner minor race over hurdles at Cheltenham a year ago. Failed to cut much ice in handicaps from a lofty mark after but has good record fresh. Chase debut.

Form: 1/1406P-

Up The Straight¹⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 138| D

2/1

Useful hurdler and just as good over fences last season despite mixed record, excellent second in listed handicap chase at Sandown in March. Sets the standard on reappearance.

Forecasts

Botox Has (5/6), Up The Straight (2/1), Pisgah Pike (9/2), Sirobbie (14/1)

Quite a trappy race, but BOTOX HAS has an excellent record fresh and is sure to be well prepared for this chase debut given the yard he represents, so he is selected to see off established-pair Up The Straight and Pisgah Pike.
