Selected odds by:

Hobb's Delight²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Dylan Johnston| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 96

10/3

Progressive over hurdles and went very close to making a winning chase bow at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) on return. Weak in the betting when not in same form at Ffos Las since so worth another chance.

Form: 21-4228

West Orchard^b1,p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: J Tizzard| OR: 95| BF

7/2

Better than ever this season, winning at Plumpton and Fontwell first 2 starts before good third at latter track last time. Risky overall but needs considering in this company back up in trip and in a change of headgear.

Form: 326-113

Celtic Fortune^p,t⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Hogan| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 87

4/1

Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't discredited starting out over fences when fourth here on return. Should come on for that but stamina remains a concern over this trip.

Form: 6P4-434

Inchagoill Lady^p,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Gearoid Harney⁽³⁾| T: K Pickard| OR: 86

11/1

Decent third back over hurdles under this rider at Taunton last time but she's yet to back up a good run in her 10-race career.

Form: P336-P3

Lelant^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁶⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85

15/2

Fair form without success over hurdles. Not so good over fences so far, running poorly fitted with headgear at Ffos Las latest. Up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 33668P

Supreme Commander^p,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 75| BF

10/3

Bought for plenty of money after finishing second in an Irish point but no impact as yet under Rules, including when gambled on after 10 months off over hurdles here 12 days ago.

Form: 2P/7P6-7

Elpologreg¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Oscar Palmer⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 73

33/1

Got off the mark in 5-runner handicap chase at Fakenham (16.3f, soft) in February but that was a poor contest and has failed to back it up subsequently.

Form: 157-76P

Noah's Light^p,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Lewis Stones| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 72

28/1

Beaten a long way on all 4 starts now when attempting to repeat the tactics of his all-the-way win at Newton Abbot in July. Others preferred.

Form: 51825P

Killard Point³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Tristan Durrell| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 65WS

50/1

Off mark in points at sixth attempt in May but shaped with no promise all 3 starts in maiden hurdles. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this switch to chasing.

Form: 2-51P80

Forecasts

Hobb's Delight (10/3), Supreme Commander (10/3), West Orchard (7/2), Celtic Fortune (4/1), Lelant (15/2), Inchagoill Lady (11/1), Noah's Light (28/1), Elpologreg (33/1), Killard Point (50/1)

HOBB'S DELIGHT is worth another chance to confirm chase debut promise with doubts remaining over main rivals West Orchard and Celtic Fortune.
