Out Of Focus³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

13/2

Showed plenty to work on when fourth in a bumper at Ffos Las a month ago and looks well worthy of respect with improvement on the cards.

Form: 4

Timeforarum

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: B Eckley

9/1

Proconsul gelding. Half-brother to multiple bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Timeforatune and fairly useful hurdler Timeforaspin. Bred for this sphere and worhty of a market check.

Form:

Autumn Blaze⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies

200/1

Once-raced maiden. 150/1, pulled up in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 29 days ago, losing touch over 5f out. Impossible to recommend on that showing.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & S Best

18/1

Sister to a point winner and half-sister to fair chaser Stockburn and fairly useful chaser Coeur Joyeux, stays 25f. Third at Warwick first time out but needs to improve on that.

Form: 3

Chevington

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph

9/2

Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam (c111/h130) 2m/17f winner. Not an obvious sort on paper.

8/15

Showed plenty when second at Wincanton first time out, then improved when fourth in a listed event at Cheltenham next time. Should take all the beating.

Forecasts

Mr Mackay (8/15), Chevington (9/2), Out Of Focus (13/2), Timeforarum (9/1), Navajo Indy (12/1), Grangeclare North (18/1), Its Going Rome (50/1), Autumn Blaze (200/1)

MR MACKAY is a clear standout on form and he's preferred to Out of Focus, who is open to improvement. Timeforarum is the pick of the newcomers.
