10/11

Dual winner over hurdles who impressed with some sure-footed jumping as he posted a near-useful performance when easy winner of 4-runner handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f) 25 days ago. That fell apart to a degree, but he's in excellent hands and can be expected to improve.

Form: 312-1P1

Green Vault^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 125

5/2

Looked a useful stayer in the making as he made it 2 from 2 over fences with plenty in hand in 6-runner handicap chase (4/6) at Ayr (24.1f, soft) 30 days ago, pushed out. Open to further improvement.

Form: 3115-11

3/1

Fairly useful hurdler who has matched that form on both his starts over fences this autumn but more is needed from 6 lb out of the weights.

Form: 530-833

Forecasts

Hidden Heroics (10/11), Mister Coffey (6/4), Green Vault (5/2), Art Approval (3/1)

HIDDEN HEROICS won a race that rather fell apart at Exeter last month but there was plenty to like about the way he went about things and, with further improvement on the cards, he's fancied to follow up. Green Vault made it 2 from 2 over fences with plenty in hand at Ayr and is second choice.
