Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 138| C| D

8/1

Revitalised by dropping in trip back in the spring, landing back-to-back 2m2f handicaps here. Hasn't fired since (let down by jumping at Cheltenham last time) but return to this track is significant.

Form: 61-155F

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Adam Wedge| T: T Lacey| OR: 137| C| D

25/1

Latest win in chase at Bangor in July but hasn't fired subsequently and a more compelling case can be made for others.

Form: 831P8P

Kap Auteuil²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: T Lawes| OR: 131

12/1

Three-time chase winner last season but has failed to complete the last twice and has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 716-5PP

Zhiguli⁵⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 131| D

5/1

Improved over fences last season, winning twice at Lingfield. Not is same form at Kempton final start and reported to have bled at Ascot on reappearance.

Form: 14419-P

The Edgar Wallace^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: David Bass| T: K C Bailey| OR: 130| D

7/2

Progressive hurdler who has shown better form in this sphere and, while his latest effort was tame, he ran with credit at this track on his penultimate outing.

Form: 21/1U-2P

Up The Straight⁷⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: James Davies| T: R Rowe| OR: 130| CD

9/1

Resumed winning ways when landing a handicap chase at Sandown on final start of last term. Ran no sort of a race on second start of present campaign at Ascot but has had a break since

Form: 3P31-2P

Quick Draw^b³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 119| D

5/4

Scored twice over hurdles here for Tom Lacey last term and has gradually found his form for this stable, scoring at Uttoxeter last time. Still on a feasible mark and merits plenty of respect.

Form: 2P8-421

Forecasts

Quick Draw (5/4), The Edgar Wallace (7/2), Zhiguli (5/1), Slate House (8/1), Up The Straight (9/1), Kap Auteuil (12/1), Neville's Cross (25/1)

SLATE HOUSE hasn't been firing this season but he won twice here in the Spring and he's worth taking a chance on having edged back down in the weights. Quick Draw arrives on the back of his first success for Nicky Henderson and looks an obvious danger, while The Edgar Wallace isn't a forlorn hope.
