Eyed^t¹⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: David Bass| T: H Morrison| OR: 100| DWS

11/4

A fair hurdler/chaser but a below-form fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, good to firm) 168 days ago on his final run for Paul Webber. Has since had a wind op so one to consider after a break for his new yard.

Form: 84624-4

I Am Gonna Be^p1³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 98| D

16/1

Unreliable type but she posted a respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, good) 33 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase with cheekpieces on for 1st time. Others appeal more.

Form: 5-P2556

American Land^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 98

5/1

Off 6 months before a patiently-ridden third of 8 in novice hurdle here (15.2f, good) 10 days ago. Yard among the winners so he's not without interest on his chase debut significantly up in trip.

Form: 23/479-3

Poker Master²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 96

22/1

Five-time winner over hurdles but isn't bred for chasing and was well held both attempts at Market Rasen and Huntingdon last term. Others are much preferred.

Form: 5P/4355-

Nadim^p,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Robbie David⁽⁷⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 93| D

12/1

A three-time winner over hurdles in 2023 who showed some promise sent chasing for his new yard when third of 11 in 2m4f Stratford novice handicap last time. In the mix with progress on the cards.

Form: R33063

What A Steal^p,t¹³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: T R George| OR: 91| BF| D

22/1

Opened his account in 2m4f chase at Worcester in June but only seventh of 9 in handicap there (20f, good) 136 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: P/6P-617

Celtic Fortune^p,t¹⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 89| BF

15/2

A fair maiden hurdler who wasn't discredited in first-time tongue strap when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) 154 days ago. One to consider now starting out over fences.

Form: 36P4-43

Stopherandgo¹⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Bryan Carver| T: K Pickard| OR: 89| C

28/1

A modest winner at 15f over hurdles but she came in eighth of 12 in handicap chase at Taunton (21.7f, good) on her debut over fences. Off 6 months with more needed.

Form: 6/P93P8-

Universal Secret⁹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes| OR: 84| C

20/1

Maiden hurdler who came in last of 6 in handicap chase (80/1) at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 98 days ago. Back down in trip with work to do.

Form: 6PF8-06

Camino Rocio^v1⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Jack Tudor| T: J & S Best| OR: 77

16/5

Modest maiden hurdler/chaser who was a below-par seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good to firm) 58 days ago on his final run for Henrietta Knight. Visored for new handler with more required.

Form: 524457

Bella Ciao^p³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 73

20/1

Modest maiden hurdler who recorded a respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, good) 33 days ago. Possibilities now going over fences.

Form: P9/32-65

Mr Sociable^b,t⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 65

16/1

Forecasts

Eyed (11/4), Camino Rocio (16/5), American Land (5/1), Paddy In The Caddy (11/2), Celtic Fortune (15/2), Nadim (12/1), Mr Sociable (16/1), I Am Gonna Be (16/1), Outback Frontiers (16/1), Universal Secret (20/1), Bella Ciao (20/1), Poker Master (22/1), What A Steal (22/1), Stopherandgo (28/1)

This is wide open so it is worth siding with AMERICAN LAND to built on a considerate reappearance third here and can make a winning start over fences for the in-form Joe Tizzard team. Celtic Fortune (second choice) and Eyed both warrant plenty of respect along with Nadim and Paddy In the Caddy.
