Selected odds by:

Kilfilum Cross^p²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 141| D

4/1

Useful chaser who ended last term with fine second in the Kim Muir Chase here. Looked rusty after 7 months off when fourth at Fakenham on return but cheekpieces back on now and bold showing expected.

Form: 3P422-4

Equus Secretus²⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr N Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 134

12/1

Point/hurdles winner who posted some useful efforts in defeat over fences last term before opening his account in 3-runner Huntingdon novice chase when looking a hard ride. More needed on comeback.

Form: 520/351-

Arthur's Gift²⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Zac Baker⁽⁵⁾| T: N A Twiston-Davies| OR: 133| C| D

10/1

Fairly useful winning 3m chaser but he seemed not to get home when seventh in Welsh National at Chepstow and let down by jumping only run after. Much respected on return though with yard in good nick.

Form: 1P/527F-

Ocean Cove^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Albi Tufnell⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 132

7/1

Showed useful form in a light campaign over fences last term but looked rusty after 8 months off when fading sixth in 3m Aintree handicap. Dropped 3 lb so considered for yard among the winners.

Form: 1/242P-6

Lamanver Pippin²⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr William Biddick⁽³⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 132

9/2

Low-mileage 7-y-o who comfortably landed 3m Chepstow novice chase before good third here in National Hunt Chase (29.9f). Yard really finding their form now so he's an interesting contender on return.

Form: 840/413-

Storm Control^p,t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 131

5/1

Useful chaser who got back on track when third of 14 in 19f handicap (15/2) at Wetherby last month. Figures on a handy mark now but he has his stamina to prove here though.

Form: 15P3-73

Realm Keeper³¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss Lucy Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 129WS

40/1

Fairly useful ex-French chaser who shaped as if needing run after 15 months off when fifth in Chepstow novice hurdle. Since had wind op so not taken lightly back over fences for his excellent yard.

Form: 1F62F/5-

Petite Power²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 127| CD

16/1

Better than ever last season, landing handicaps over C&D and at Uttoxeter under this rider. Last of 12 in Sedgefield handicap on reappearance but type to bounce back so veteran is no forlorn hope.

Form: 1123P-0

Young Turk^p,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: A Sadik| OR: 122

200/1

Inconsistent sort for Gordon Elliott who bounced back to form to double chase tally at Tramore (21.5f) in August. However, pulled up on yard debut over C&D last time so others appeal more.

Form: 8/P-010P

What A Moment^p³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Martin McIntyre⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 120| CD

7/1

Landed this event for a second time back in 2017 but very lightly raced and below par since, including after wind op when eighth in 3m Chepstow chase last month. On a good mark if resurgent back here.

Form: P1/9P6-8

Bermeo^p,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁷⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 109| CD

15/2

Enjoying a good season and gained second win when scoring over C&D three weeks ago for this pilot, Up 5 lb and also 2 lb out of the handicap though so needs another career best if he's to follow up.

Forecasts

Kilfilum Cross (4/1), Lamanver Pippin (9/2), Storm Control (5/1), What A Moment (7/1), Ocean Cove (7/1), Bermeo (15/2), Arthur's Gift (10/1), Fingerontheswitch (10/1), Equus Secretus (12/1), Petite Power (16/1), Realm Keeper (40/1), Young Turk (200/1)

A case can be made for lots of these but the most persuasive one is for KILFILUM CROSS who ran a cracker when runner-up in last year's Kim Muir here and should be spot on after his reappearance Fakenham fourth. Lamanver Pippin is much less exposed than most of these so is greatly feared for the Tizzard team, while What A Moment can't be ruled out in his attempt for a third win in this contest.
