Selected odds by:

Two For Gold^p²¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: David Bass| T: K C Bailey| OR: 159| D

12/1

Tough and reliable chaser who scored on his return at Doncaster last term. Has twice failed to complete over these fences though.

Form: 3U/112P-

Lifetime Ambition¹⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: S F O'Keeffe| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 151| D

7/2

Smart Irish chaser who posted a very good second to Capodanno in Champion Novices' Chase at Punchestown (3m) when last seen out in April. Tackles these fences for the first time but still merits consideration now going into handicaps.

Form: 427212-

Al Dancer^p,t²¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: S Thomas| OR: 144| BF| D

5/1

Smart chaser who signed off for last term with good second in 2m4f handicap at Newbury in April. Has his first try over the National fences but he goes well fresh and is very much one to consider off a handy-looking mark.

Form: P/04532-

Senior Citizen²¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Adrian Heskin| T: A King| OR: 140| D

8/1

Very useful chaser who has a good record over these fences, runner-up in this event 12 months ago. Must enter calculations on his return with his yard going well.

Form: 3/41238-

Jacamar²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: J J Burke| T: M F Harris| OR: 137| C| D

11/1

Dual 2m4f winner last term who returned with creditable fourth of 7 in 3m handicap at Chepstow 28 days ago. Not discounted back in trip on first go over these fences.

Form: 55142-4

Spiritofthegames^p²²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 137

13/2

Regular in competitive handicaps and signed off last season with a good fifth of 29 in the Topham over C&D in April. Not taken lightly after posting good second at Fakenham 22 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: P9335-2

Broken Halo^t²³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Lorcan Williams| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 137| D

17/2

Low-mileage 7-y-o who made it 2-4 over fences in 3-runner novice chase at Fontwell (21.6f) in March. Yard has good record in this event so he's not dismissed despite his lack of experience.

Form: 3/P3141-

One True King^p⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: N A Twiston-Davies| OR: 131| D

12/1

Resumed winning ways back over fences after 5 months off in 5-runner handicap at Market Rasen (21.4f) 42 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on but more is needed off a 4 lb higher mark on first go round here.

Form: 4461-01

Gesskille^p¹⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 130| D

6/1

Ex-French chaser who made it 3-4 for his current yard in listed chase at Auteuil (21.9f) in June. This is tougher but he shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 4P11-21

The Golden Rebel^b1³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Bryan Carver| T: B I Case| OR: 129| BF| D

25/1

Not proving easy to catch right and he came in last of 3 in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f) 36 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and others appeal more.

Form: F4-8343

Jack Hackett¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: R T Dunne| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 129| D

40/1

Useful Irish chaser who scored at Kilbeggan in June. 17/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap there in September but more is required on first run on these shores.

Form: 213355

Percussion^p,t¹⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 125| BF

40/1

Revitalised by cheekpieces/tongue strap when scoring twice at Southwell in the spring but off since turning in a below-par second at Fakenham in May. Work to do from out of the handicap.

Form: 3841-12

Al Roc^b,t²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 117| D

125/1

Being kept very busy this season and posted just respectable efforts to make the frame at Stratford and Chepstow on his last two runs. No show in this last year and up against it again.

Form: 7P5433

Abaya Du Mathan^b,t¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 100

300/1

Another one kept busy by connections and he came in only sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f) 13 days ago. No show in last year's Becher and little appeal from out of the weights again.

Form: 36F636

Forecasts

Lifetime Ambition (7/2), Al Dancer (5/1), Gesskille (6/1), Spiritofthegames (13/2), Senior Citizen (8/1), Broken Halo (17/2), Jacamar (11/1), Two For Gold (12/1), One True King (12/1), Cooper's Cross (12/1), The Golden Rebel (25/1), Percussion (40/1), Jack Hackett (40/1), Al Roc (125/1), Abaya Du Mathan (300/1)

AL DANCER has a good record fresh and starts this season on a handy-looking mark so gets the vote from a yard among the winners. Last year's runner-up Senior Citizen goes well round here so is feared most, although the less exposed duo Broken Halo and Lifetime Ambition need considering, and the progressive Cooper's Cross shouldn't be underestimated either despite being out of the handicap.
