13/2
C&D winner who has been in a lull over hurdles/fences since the turn of the year, jumping sketchily when pulled up in handicap chase at Bangor (17.4f, good) 43 days ago. Does find himself 5 lb below last winning mark if return to this venue/wind op has positive effect.

7/2
Likeable type who toughed it out under testing conditions when resuming winning ways in 9-runner C&D handicap in June. Rare below-par display when seventh over hurdles at Uttoxeter 11 days ago and likely type to bounce back returned to chasing.

14/1
Successful between the flags in 2024 and positive enough start over hurdles when placed in maiden/novice company here last summer. However, form tailed off pretty badly thereafter and she needs to take a big step back in the right direction now equipped with cheekpieces for this chase debut.

9/4
Fair 2m winner over hurdles who ran up to his recent best when good second of 5 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, heavy, 2/1) 13 days ago, rallying to take that place close home. Possibilities for all he's an infrequent winner.

8/1
Long-standing maiden who bettered a couple of hurdle exploits in June when third of 5 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Still lightly raced in this sphere so she could yet have more to offer from a basement mark.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-3| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR:  75
11/4
Maiden hurdler/chaser who shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not without hope in an open-looking handicap.

COULDBEAWEAPON clearly isn't the easiest to win with but there have been more encouraging signs with a tongue tie fitted of late and he could be the answer to this tricky puzzle. C&D winner Pittsburg who quickly switches back to larger obstacles is an obvious threat, whilst confidence behind Restandbethankful returned to this venue would need to be viewed positively.
