Coconut Twist^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Reed| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 97| BF

11/2

Point winner at the start of the year and made a successful chase debut at Newton Abbot (21f) in May. Again ran well after 7 weeks off there last time, despite the odd error, and is up to winning again at this level. New trip.

Form: 21-1632

Puddlesinthepark⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 97

10/1

Plenty of good efforts in defeat in this sphere but poor last 2 starts in the summer, off the bridle some way out and never on terms at Worcester latest. Needs to bounce back after a break.

Form: 332-268

Getupearly¹¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 88WS

13/2

Point winner who made a promising start over fences in 2 runs at Warwick (3m) in the spring, losing second close home after travelling best last time. Has races like this in him. Has had a breathing operation.

Form: P6/B76-3

He'llstopatthetop^b1¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Kimber| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 81

15/2

Would have probably won but for departing at the last in C&D handicap in May. Not so good since, leaving the impression he's ready for an even stiffer test. Blinkers tried.

Form: P5-F465

Radharc Na Slaine^h1,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: S Bowen| T: D A Rees| OR: 72

8/1

Been going the right way in Newton Abbot handicap chases and would have made the frame again but for a luckless late exit last month. Hood added to tongue tie now. One to note with Sean Bowen now up.

Form: PP-U42F

Instant Gambler¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 71| CD

11/8

Made a successful debut over fences after 19 months off in C&D handicap a fortnight ago, proving a totally different proposition. Strong claims if in the same sort of form up 7 lb.

Form: U80P9/1

Ideal De Romay^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 69

8/1

Irish point winner but a poor maiden hurdler and took little interest only other start in chases.

Form: F8-PP54

Forecasts

Instant Gambler (11/8), Coconut Twist (11/2), Getupearly (13/2), He'llstopatthetop (15/2), Ideal De Romay (8/1), Radharc Na Slaine (8/1), Puddlesinthepark (10/1)

INSTANT GAMBLER proved a totally different proposition upped markedly in trip for his chase debut here a fortnight ago, scoring a shade cosily, and can follow up if in the same sort of form. Getupearly is a big player, while Radharc Na Slaine is interesting with Sean Bowen up.
