6/1

C&D winner who posted a creditable third of 6 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark so needs considering.

15/2

Dual chase winner at Ffos Las and Perth this summer but only fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good) 37 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 6-41215

Prince Escalus¹⁸¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: K Brogan| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 137| CD

22/1

Useful chaser who gained a third win in that sphere in 2m Wetherby handicap in February. Only seventh at Ascot in April when last seen out so needs to get back on track after a break.

Killer Clown^t³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 135| D

13/2

Unreliable type but he ran one of his better races when fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Needs to back it up now.

Form: 5F5-3P5

Found On²⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 135| CD

10/1

Completed a 5-timer in small fields at Cheltenham last October. Pulled up both starts since though at Bangor and Huntingdon so this C&D winner has something to prove after 8 months off.

Form: 1111PP-

Vintage Fizz²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 130

15/2

Made it 2-3 over fences this season with a career best in 4-runner handicap at Bangor (20.3f, good) 25 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's a player in his current mood.

Form: 42P-131

Saint Arvans^p,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 128

8/1

Scored at Perth in June and in good form since, second of 5 in 3m handicap there 19 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark.

Form: 315242

Dead Right^p²³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 127| CD

12/1

C&D scorer but off the track since landing 5-runner handicap chase at Taunton (23f) 7 months ago. Has won off a break though so not dismissed.

Form: 02/4291-

Quoi De Neuf^t⁹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 125| D

20/1

Resumed winning ways in 4-runner chase at Fakenham in June but he failed to beat a rival at Cartmel following month. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 512-410

Fairfield Ferrata¹⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 123| CD

25/1

Dual hurdles winner but already better over fences, supplementing her Fakenham success at Uttoxeter in January. Beat only rival at Cheltenham when last seen in April though so she needs to hit the ground running here.

Form: 1/31717-

Fix At All²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 122

9/1

Landed a brace of hunters at Ludlow at the end of last season for Michael Scudamore and performed well on yard debut when runner-up in Market Rasen handicap chase in June. However, not been in same form since and has something to prove at present.

Form: 11-2288

One True King^p¹⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 122| CD

9/2

Took this 12 months ago but he came in last of 7 in handicap chase (8/1) at this course (23.9f, good to soft) 141 days ago. Yard is going well though so no surprise to see him return to form.

Form: 56338-7

Forecasts

One True King (9/2), Francky Du Berlais (6/1), Killer Clown (13/2), Vintage Fizz (15/2), Presentandcounting (15/2), Saint Arvans (8/1), Fix At All (9/1), Found On (10/1), Dead Right (12/1), Quoi De Neuf (20/1), Prince Escalus (22/1), Fairfield Ferrata (25/1)

This looks wide open but VINTAGE FIZZ has started out really well in this sphere so is taken to make it 3-4 on the back of his cosy Bangor success. The consistent Saint Arvans is next on the list with Francky du Berlais, Fix At All and One True King all in the mix too.
