17/2

Back-to-back chase winner in the spring. Not at that level more recently, and just a respectable second of 8 in claiming hurdle (7/2) at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) 12 days ago. Back over the larger obstacles for yard with a superb record here.

Form: P56032

King Roly^t²³

6/5

Made a successful start in this sphere at Ffos Las in May and reportedly lame when pulled up at Worcester following month. Good fourth back hurdling at Uttoxeter then showed a more willing attitude than re-opposing Garde des Champs when successful over C&D 3 weeks ago.

Form: 82-1P41

Garde Des Champs^p,t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 117| C

9/2

Unreliable type but he got off the mark for 2025 in 2m handicap here in July. Looked set to collect over C&D 3 weeks ago but was worried out of it late by King Roly. May need delivering late.

4/1

Runner-up sole outing in bumpers and going the right way over hurdles, third of 8 on handicap debut at this venue in May, Successful sole outing in points and bred to do well over fences.

9/1

A fair winning hurdler at Carlisle in October. Out of the weights on chase debut when behind a couple of these over C&D 3 weeks ago. Should do better this time back on correct mark.

Forecasts

King Roly (6/5), Frisby (4/1), Garde Des Champs (9/2), Lightkeeper (17/2), Byron Hill (9/1), Speed Davis (14/1)

GARDE DES CHAMPS had his pocket picked by King Roly over C&D 3 weeks ago and while he's clearly not straightforward, he's taken to gain revenge in the hope he can be delivered at the right time. Frisby is bred to do well over fences so this point winner could up his game now chasing.
