Join The Clan^p³⁴

A falling mark helped him end a long losing run when he was successful over fences on his penultimate run and he was undone by an 8lb rise for that win next time out. Second of eight when last seen in a handicap hurdle last time out at the end of May.

Form: 99F1-44

In The Rough^p⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 130| C| D

20/1

Looked like making up into a high-class chaser at one point but progress stalled after a couple of long absences and handicapper has been slow to relent. Signs that not all was lost when winning a class 3 handicap chase here in May.

Form: 0P947-1

Berea Boru^t²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: James Bowen⁽¹⁰⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 127

12/1

Five times a winner including when completing a hat-trick in early 2016. Well held in three starts in 2017 but yard is in better form now than when he ran at Uttoxeter last month, before finishing fourth of seven, beaten 3L at Stratford last time out.

Form: P/P5P-84

Shelford^b⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 127

9/1

Four-time hurdle winner who ran in some smart company before being switched to fences. Won on his debut in that sphere at Towcester but the attitude he showed there may well have been a warning sign of what was to come and he's squandered three good chances since then.

Form: 86122-2

Gentleman Jon^b,t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: P J Brennan| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 127

20/1

Forecasts

Optimistic Bias (7/1), Fact Of The Matter (8/1), Shelford (9/1), Henllan Harri (10/1), Tempestatefloresco (12/1), Vintage Vinnie (12/1), Southfield Vic (12/1), Berea Boru (12/1), Aerlite Supreme (14/1), Keltus (14/1), Ozzy Thomas (14/1), Join The Clan (16/1), In The Rough (20/1), Gentleman Jon (20/1), Silver Man (20/1), Magic Money (25/1), Upswing (25/1), Kilfinichen Bay (33/1), Still Believing (33/1), West Wizard (50/1)

HENLLAN HARRI will be hoping to prove his 40/1 win in the Sandown Gold Cup, holding off all comers late on to win by a head with Vyta Du Roc, Theatre Guide and Benbens close behind. In a race at a track advantageous to be up with the pace, expect to see Southfield Vic, Tempestatefloresco and Optimistic up with the pace keeping the selection company. Keltus and Kilfinichan Bay renew rivalries with both able to claim a place, along with Ozzy Thomas.
