1/2

Winner of maiden and novice here this summer, the latter success coming over this trip at the expense of Heronord. Looks the one to beat again.

Form: 3P0-131

Carriglux¹⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: D Brace

12/1

Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Two For Gold. Made the frame on both completed starts in Irish points (latest May 28). Chance he won't come into his own until tackling further but he starts his Rules career in an ordinary race.

Form: 3FF-4

Heronord¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Lewis Gordon⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 100

9/4

Respectable fourth in handicap company at Fontwell last time. Beaten a length by Gaulois over C&D in July and there's unlikely to be much between them again.

Form: 2-44424

Testflight¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner

80/1

Third in a course bumper in June but beaten a long way on all other starts under Rules, including on hurdle debut (17f) here 16 days ago.

Form: 0-378

Coconut Twist^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr

28/1

Unplaced in points. Poor form in a pair of maiden hurdles in recent months. Improvement will be needed.

Form: P-7346

Forecasts

Gaulois (1/2), Heronord (9/4), Carriglux (12/1), Coconut Twist (28/1), Testflight (80/1)

GAULOIS has to give a bit more weight to Heronord than last time but is still taken to come out on top again and land a third course success of the summer.
