Heltenham^t¹¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 142| D

22/1

Back to best when winning in good style at Perth in April. Folded tamely at Uttoxeter following month and off since. Yet to win off a mark this high.

Form: 84P21-P

Arclight²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 134| BF| D

8/1

Not the easiest to catch right but resumed winning ways back chasing at Stratford in July. Failed to fire there next time but capable of bouncing back.

Form: 97-4214

Courtland⁵⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 134| CD

6/5

C&D winner. Nine wins from 26 NH runs. Good second in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (21.4f, good) 58 days ago. Can resume winning ways back down in class.

Form: 6P10/32

Jet Plane^t¹³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton| OR: 133| BF| D

14/1

Won 4 handicap chases 2 seasons ago and made a successful hunter debut at Wetherby in February. Fine second in the Foxhunters at Aintree (21f, good) in April and presumably found next run coming too soon. Not taken lightly back from a break.

Form: U7132-5

Frere d'Armes¹⁰⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: D Skelton| OR: 132

18/1

Back to winning ways in hunter chase at Stratford when last seen in May but looks high enough in the weights back in a handicap.

Form: 1230-81

Vintage Fizz²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: C O'Farrell| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 127| D

15/2

Now 15 runs since his last win in 2023 but he went close off this mark at Market Rasen in June and gave far more encouragement than the bare result would indicate at Stratford 4 weeks ago.

Form: 3-74265

Snipe^p¹⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 125

10/1

Failed to score last term but some good efforts in defeat and starts the new season off a fair mark, though this trip looks on the sharp side for him nowadays.

Form: 2383F4-

No Risk With Lou^h²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 124

10/3

Better than ever when winning at Huntingdon in July but below par both starts since falling at Uttoxeter next time. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 33-1F03

Mount Tempest^b³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: B S Hughes| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 124

50/1

Lost his way over fences for Dan Skelton and well held both starts over hurdles for this yard this summer.

Form: 144P-8P

Forecasts

Courtland (6/5), No Risk With Lou (10/3), Sail Away (4/1), Vintage Fizz (15/2), Arclight (8/1), Snipe (10/1), Jet Plane (14/1), Frere d'Armes (18/1), Heltenham (22/1), Mount Tempest (50/1)

COURTLAND found only an improver too good in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen 8 weeks ago and can go one better off a similar mark back down in class. Vintage Fizz is lurking on a workable mark, while Arclight is capable of bouncing back.
