Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Godfrey| T: Ella Pickard| OR: 122| D

5/2

Resumed winning ways on the back of another breathing operation, landing the second leg of a double at Stratford (27.5f) in May. Likely in better heart that recent form figures suggest (not seen to best effect at Cartmel last month) and should go well on a more suitable track.

Form: 5-11387

Killer Kane^b,t⁷¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 120

11/2

Hasn't won since 2023 and probably not the force of old. Having a pipe-opener when pulled up over hurdles at Stratford in late July, finishing very tired on that occasion. Has been given a short break and has claims if on a going day off a career-low chase mark.

Form: 0/434-2P

Hold Your Fort²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: James Best| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 116| CD

15/8

Thrived over fences last year, completing a C&D 4-timer. Better than ever when scoring over C&D in May and wasn't disgraced when having a pipe-opener over hurdles earlier this month. Should give another good account reunited with James Best (in the saddle for all 5 of his wins).

Form: 5213F3

Bagheera Ginge^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 113| C

9/4

Course winner over hurdles and may well have recorded a second win over fences but for a trademark error at Worcester (23f) in July. Still in form when third over the same C&D earlier this month and not ruled out if his jumping holds up over this longer trip.

Form: 257-723

Forecasts

Hold Your Fort (15/8), Bagheera Ginge (9/4), Stans The Man (5/2), Killer Kane (11/2), Road Senam (10/1)

STANS THE MAN arrives in better heart than recent form figures would suggest and he could make it three wins from 6 starts over fences this season. Five-time C&D winner Hold Your Fort should give another good account re-united with James Best and may prove the main danger. Killer Kane isn't discounted off a career-low mark over fences, while in-form Bagheera Ginge tackles a longer trip and should be competitive again if his jumping holds up.
