Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 110

3/1

Fair hurdles winner who made a decent start for this yard when second at Hereford in April. Disappointed following month but back on track sent chasing when second over C&D on return 12 days ago, his jumping looking assured in the main. Player.

Form: 1472-52

Inedit De Mee¹⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: K Brogan| T: T Lawes| OR: 109

10/1

Showed fairly useful form when runner-up on the last 3 of his 4 starts in 2021/22 for J. Boisnard. Didn't offer a great deal on debut for this stable at Doncaster in December, though, and was brought down early doors at Chepstow on chase bow when last seen in April.

Form: 6222/7B-

Torneo¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 109| D

4/1

Fairly useful winner on the Flat in France and won a weak juvenile hurdle at Wetherby in January. Found only one too good on handicap debut at Fontwell following month. Well held at Bangor next time and off since. Has benefit of 4-y-o allowance on chase debut (yard has done well with similar types).

Neigh Botha^p,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 97| D

11/1

Made a successful return over fences at Southwell (2m) in June and backed it up with a good third at Worcester. Jumping issues quickly resurfaced at Bangor next time, however, and has since had a respectable spin over hurdles.

Form: 45-13P3

Forecasts

Tedley (15/8), Cabhfuilfungi (3/1), Torneo (4/1), Lebowski (9/1), Inedit De Mee (10/1), Neigh Botha (11/1), Quick Sharpener (14/1)

TORNEO isn't a chasing type on looks but he has the benefit of a 4-y-o allowance and is from a yard that has done well with similar types in recent years. Cabhfuilfungi was a bit flattered by his proximity to the winner but still shaped pretty well sent chasing over this C&D on return 12 days ago and rates the main threat in what looks a difficult race to call.
