An Bradan Feasa⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: Jack Jones| OR: 108

2/1

Fairly useful 2-time juvenile hurdle winner in 2023/24 campaign. Drew a blank over jumps last season but in good form on the Flat this year, including a win at Catterick in April. Given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere.

Form: 640433-

Scintillante³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 108| BF| CD

11/8

Pair of C&D wins this summer and went close to another at the end of July. Has run respectably on the Flat since and ought to be in the mix again back here.

Form: 314212

Douglas Dc^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Freddie Gordon⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 107| D

13/2

Fit from Flat, creditable third over C&D off this mark in July. Below par back on the Flat since but should be competitive back over timber.

Form: 24239-3

Soldat Forte^p1,t⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 105| D

10/1

Fair winning hurdler but has looked one with problems when pulled up in 2 chases since returning from an 11-month absence. It remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles sparks a revival.

Form: 2/753-PP

Mix Of Clover^p²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings| T: A Ralph| OR: 105| CD

33/1

Wouldn't be the most reliable overall but managed to get his head in front twice last year and placed in hurdle and chase here on return this summer. A poor run at Market Rasen last month underlines his inconsistency, though.

Form: P1F-327

Jorah⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 103

17/2

Promise in a pair of C&D maidens at the beginning of the summer and very interesting now marking a quick switch to handicaps for a leading stable.

Form: 42

Forecasts

Scintillante (11/8), An Bradan Feasa (2/1), Douglas Dc (13/2), Jorah (17/2), Soldat Forte (10/1), Mix Of Clover (33/1)

AN BRADAN FEASA arrives on the back of some good efforts on the Flat and might prove the answer off a mark which is generous based on his best hurdle form. Unexposed Dan Skelton handicap debutant Jorah is a potentially dangerous opponent, while Scintillante's C&D form this summer affords him respect.
