Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 109

16/1

Notched his third success over fences when taking Ludlow handicap (20f) last December. Below form since though, beating only one at Uttoxeter on yard debut in July.

Form: 41P-5P8

Dream Jet¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Craig Nichol| T: B Ellison| OR: 108| D

9/2

Reliable sort who opened his chase account at Hexham in May. By no means disgraced both runs since, fourth at Market Rasen (2m1f) 19 days ago, and should make his presence felt.

Form: 13-4124

Scarlet O'Tara^b1⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 107

15/2

A fair 3m winner over hurdles but pulled up on all his three starts over fences, latest in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good) 42 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now.

Form: 1P0-PPP

Delpotro^h,t⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 104| BF| C

11/4

A fair ex-French chaser. Got off the mark for current yard at Sedgefield in May but pulled up at Southwell (2m) following month. Could bounce back after a break.

Form: 4P32-1P

Limerick Leader^v¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: Mrs A M Thorpe| OR: 98| BF

9/4

Opened his chasing account at Newton Abbot in June and in very good nick since, second of 7 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 14 days ago. Big shout off an unchanged mark.

Form: 3P-2122

Too Cool Forshrule^t1¹⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 97| BF

9/2

Made a winning debut over fences at Market Rasen and followed up back hurdling at Bangor later in March. Came in last of 5 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, good) 145 days ago though. Tongue tied here so not totally dismissed.

Forecasts

Limerick Leader (9/4), Delpotro (11/4), Too Cool Forshrule (9/2), Dream Jet (9/2), Scarlet O'Tara (15/2), Moodofthemoment (16/1)

LIMERICK LEADER can race off the same mark as when a very good recent Newton Abbot second so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of the consistent Dream Jet. Too Cool Forshrule and Delpotro can fight it out for minor honours.
