Stolen Silver^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 145

5/2

Made an excellent start for Sam Thomas, scoring at Market Rasen in October before an excellent second in a strong race at Cheltenham. Stiff task on latest start, but of interest back in a handicap.

Form: 2P8-124

Mont Des Avaloirs⁴⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 137| BF

6/1

Talented chaser who was strong in the betting and in the process of running well when falling late at Chepstow 15 months ago. Not seen since but has a good record fresh, so enters calculations.

Form: 7P422/F-

Killer Clown^t1⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 135| D

10/3

Largely progressive over fences last season and both outings since returning can be excused, doing too much too soon at Newbury last time. Can get back on track with tongue tie fitted.

Form: 3123-66

Slate House^b1,t³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 134| D

5/1

Very useful winning chaser in 2019 but he's come in well held all 3 starts over hurdles this term. Back over fences and blinkers tried. Potentially well treated.

Form: P30-800

Notre Pari²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Adrian Heskin| T: O Murphy| OR: 127| D

18/5

Fairly useful hurdler in 2019/20 who displayed promise in handful of chase tries last term. Strong-travelling second in Carlisle handicap on return and latest effort is best excused. Not discounted.

Form: 6533-27

The Cathal Don²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Houlihan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 126

18/1

Fair hurdler and already a better chaser (won a maiden at Tipperary in July). Respectable debut for this yard at Huntingdon but followed it with a tame handicap debut at Ascot last month.

Form: 1-63136

Forecasts

Stolen Silver (5/2), Killer Clown (10/3), Notre Pari (18/5), Slate House (5/1), Mont Des Avaloirs (6/1), The Cathal Don (18/1)

STOLEN SILVER pulled clear with a highly-progressive sort at Cheltenham on his penultimate outing and wasn't disgraced in Graded company at Sandown subsequently, so he's fancied to make a winning return to handicaps at the likely expense of Killer Clown, who has been better than his form figures suggest so far this season. Mont Des Avaloirs, back from a further 15 months off, is also a player.
