Kilfilum Cross^v1²¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Lorcan Williams| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 127| DWS

7/2

Useful chaser at his best, placed in the Kim Muir in 2019 and 2020. Out of sorts last term, but is well handicapped if a wind operation and change of headgear revives him.

Form: 4P7P0P-

No Comment^t²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 123

2/1

Still without a victory over fences. Recent efforts have been creditable and this uncompetitive but he's hardly one who can be supported with confidence given than 0-12 chase record.

Form: 722425

Militarian¹⁶³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: J Martin⁽³⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 122| D

15/8

Useful chaser on his day. Not disgraced in a big-field affair at Uttoxeter when last seen in May and he's now 16 lb lower than when successful at Ascot 2 years ago. Could be the way to go.

Form: 38P4-59

Soupy Soups^p³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Hugh Nugent| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 122| D

5/1

Another in this line-up who is well treated on old form but there was no indication that he's likely to take advantage of his reduced mark any time soon in a veterans' event at Chepstow last month .

Form: P0P-PP8

Forecasts

Militarian (15/8), No Comment (2/1), Kilfilum Cross (7/2), Soupy Soups (5/1)

MILITARIAN and Kilfilum Cross are both very well handicapped and there's a feeling that both could revive faced with a much less competitive scenario than has generally been the case in recent years. A narrow vote goes the way of the former but the betting may provide more pointers.
