Leapaway^p³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 137| C

13/2

Largely reliable sort who scored at this course (16.3f) in May. Unseated rider first at Newton Abbot last month but he remains on a workable mark.

Form: 62-134U

Golden Taipan^t⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 132| C| D

4/1

Disappointed at Bangor latest but had bagged a brace of Perth handicaps (at up to 23.8f) previously and must enter calculations.

Form: 24-2117

Fat Sam^h²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 129| CD

15/8

C&D winner who got back on scoreboard at Newton Abbot (21f) in July. Creditable second of 6 in Bangor handicap chase (20.3f, good) latest and looks sure to make presence felt.

Form: 512142

Vision Des Flos^t³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 127| CD

13/8

Last year's victor who was running creditably when falling heavily 3 out in handicap chase at Worcester in June and posted solid second over hurdles at Newton Abbot since. Bold show anticipated.

Form: 1PP-3F2

Al Roc^b,t²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 125| D

16/1

Won 4 times over fences earlier this season but gone off the boil more recently and has a fair bit to prove at present.

Form: 2P67P5

Forecasts

Vision Des Flos (13/8), Fat Sam (15/8), Golden Taipan (4/1), Leapaway (13/2), Al Roc (16/1)

VISION DES FLOS won this contest last season off the same mark and shaped well over the smaller obstacles at Newton Abbot a month ago. He can take the prize home again. Fat Sam is feared most.
