Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 139

11/8

Likeable sort who arrives on a hat-trick after a pair of 23f Newbury handicap chase successes this year. Up 5 lb but he looks to have more to offer and merits serious consideration.

Form: 14-4211

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 135

14/1

Bumper/hurdles winner who took a while to get off the mark over fences but has had a productive autumn, winning 3 times (albeit the second was a walkover). A 5 lb rise for his latest Exeter success does demand more of him, though.

Form: 231511

Moroder^t⁵⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: James Best| T: J W Mullins| OR: 131| CD

12/1

Bagged the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster last March and ended campaign with a fine second in Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown. Big questions to answer now though after 4 poor runs this season.

Form: 12-PP78

Rose Of Arcadia^t²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 130| D

10/3

Is enjoying a good season and landed 10-runner handicap chase at Sandown (24.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Must enter calculations despite taking a 4 lb rise.

Form: 173321

Unanswered Prayers^p³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 127| C

7/1

Winless over fences since 2022 but he got back on track after a wind op when sixth of 12 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f, soft) 36 days ago. Considered eased 1 lb.

Form: P-5FU56

Cap Du Nord^p¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: G Sheehan| T: Christian Williams| OR: 117

9/2

Grand servant to connections but he arrives below par and is without a win for 12 outings. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Makin'yourmindup (11/8), Rose Of Arcadia (10/3), Cap Du Nord (9/2), Hudson De Grugy (6/1), Unanswered Prayers (7/1), Moroder (12/1), Any News (14/1)

MAKIN'YOURMINDUP arrives on the up and looks the way to go here despite having a career-high mark to overcome. The consistent Rose of Arcadia rates the main danger to Paul Nicholls' hat-trick seeker, with Hudson de Grugy also weighted to have a say in this useful handicap.
