6/1

Some promise over hurdles and, having effectively been brought down on chasing bow in March, he showed a clear aptitude for this job when third of 5 at Hexham (15.6f) in April. Possible can do better still in this sphere.

11/8

Scored at Market Rasen in August and placed on each of his 3 subsequent starts, good third of 7 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (16f) 24 days ago. Blinkers replace usual cheekpieces. Expected to be bang there.

2/1

C&D winner who got back on track when second of 7 in handicap chase at Perth (20.1f) 42 days ago. Up 3 lb but still very much one to consider.

Forecasts

Obey The Rules (11/8), Izzy's Champion (2/1), Check My Pulse (4/1), Coolmoyne (6/1), Follow Your Fire (13/2), Budarri (8/1), Six One Nine (10/1)

OBEY THE RULES comes here at the top of his game so is taken to gain a deserved victory with blinkers replacing his usual cheekpieces and Brian Hughes now back in the saddle. C&D winner Izzy's Champion is feared most on the back of his resurgent Perth second, with Carlisle-scorer Check My Pulse another who should have a say.
