Far Sight^t³^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 103| BF| D

4/6

Bumper winner who showed promise over hurdles for previous trainer and has been progressive for this yard, scoring comfortably at Wincanton 3 days ago. Unlikely runner but would be of interest.

Form: 763/4-21

Full Monty²³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 109

17/2

Opened his account with a cosy success in a 2½m Uttoxeter maiden (good to firm) in July but hasn't fired since, only seveneth at Worcester 23 days ago, so others make more appeal.

Form: 7-82147

Stanley Pincombe²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Freddie Gordon⁽⁵⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 107| D

10/1

Consistent sort who resumed winning ways at Plumpton last November. Generally held form since and made a solid returhn when third at Fontwell last month. Respected.

Form: 62124-3

On Springs^v⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Callum Pritchard⁽¹⁰⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 105| D

33/1

Temperamental sort who has fallen on his last two starts over fences and, understandably, returns to the smaller obstacles after a break.

Form: U16/9FF

Thahab Ifraj¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 100| C

20/1

On a reduced mark and bounced back when second (in a race he won in 2023) at Exeter 10 days ago. Can be on the premises with a performance of similar merit.

Form: 7661-82

Rebel Intentions^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 99

5/1

11/1, good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Capable of going one better with a reproduction of that form.

Form: 36P50-2

Time To Tinker^b,t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: R T Dunne| T: G Hanmer| OR: 89

12/1

Has spent a long time in the doldrums (last win was gained back in November 2021) but he has stopped the slide to some extent lately, again hitting the frame at Warwick last time. Not ruled out.

Form: P5P034

Forecasts

Far Sight (4/6), Rebel Intentions (5/1), Full Monty (17/2), Stanley Pincombe (10/1), Time To Tinker (12/1), Thahab Ifraj (20/1), On Springs (33/1)

REBEL INTENTIONS is a tough character when on his game and, if he can repeat the level of performance he showed at Stratford last time, he's a likely winner of this. Far Sight is an obvious threat if participating after 3 days off and Thahab Ifraj probably won't be far away.
