6/1

Dual chase winner in the summer who ran well back over hurdles last time. Others look better treated back over fences, however.

5/2

Progressive novice chaser last term but disappointing this time around and has a bit to prove.

Form: 60P300-

Jet Plane^t¹⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 124| D

9/2

Emphatic winner of 25f Hereford handicap chase in November and better than ever when resuming winning ways at Ludlow in May, making all. Capable of defying 5 lb rise if ready to go.

Form: 51P34-1

Innisfree Lad^p¹⁵⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: David Dennis| OR: 120| D

25/1

Third in last year's Eider and back to form from much-reduced mark when landing weak conditional jockeys' veterans' handicap at Hereford in February. Similar form when fifth of 20 at Cheltenham and might have found next run coming too soon. Off 5 months.

5/1

Opened chase account at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) in April and resumed progress in recent months, scoring at here twice before good second here 3 weeks ago. Return to this trip will suit so needs considering.

7/2

Consistent sort who again made the frame when third in 15-runner Chepstow handicap (23.6f) in February, rallying well to gain that place close home. Respectable efforts over hurdles since and given chance by handicapper back over fences.

Forecasts

Fantastikas (5/2), Bells Of Peterboro (7/2), Jet Plane (9/2), Investment Manager (5/1), Tommie Beau (6/1), Favori De Sivola (12/1), Innisfree Lad (25/1)

JET PLANE looked better than ever when making all in good style at Ludlow in May and a 5 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable if backing up that performance. Bells of Peterboro has been given a chance by the handicapper back over fences and is next best ahead of the in-form Investment Manager.
