9/1

Improved model during second half of last year and took another step forward when landing competitive Sandown handicap in good style at the end of April. Predictably hit hard for that (up 11 lb) but he still acquitted himself well when third at Market Rasen since. Respected on chase bow.

Form: 211R-13

10/3

Three-time hurdles winner, including a career-best performance at Uttoxeter when last seen in May. Goes well fresh (second in Grade 2 novice at Chepstow last autumn) and should make a chaser. Hood re-fitted.

Classic King¹⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 126| BF

8/1

Made a winning start over hurdles at Wincanton (15.2f) on return last season and even better form when runner-up next 4 of 5 starts. Not the most fluent of jumpers over hurdles and switches to fences on seasonal bow.

Malaita¹⁴⁵

13/2

Held her form well over fences last season and got off the mark in 4-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, soft) in March. Some improvement when following up at Cheltenham following month but rare poor effort at Uttoxeter since. This likeable mare should bounce back on return.

Autumn Return²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 119| D

4/1

Irish point/bumper winner who quickly developed into a most likeable hurdler, winning 4 times, and off the mark at the first attempt in this sphere when making a winning return in 4-runner handicap at Perth 3 weeks ago, holding on gamely. Should go well again.

Form: 21238-1

13/8

Successful sole outing between the flags. Achieved only fair form over hurdles but no surprise to see him do better as chaser. Off 10 months.

Forecasts

Hoe Joly Smoke (13/8), Resplendent Grey (10/3), Autumn Return (4/1), Myretown (6/1), Malaita (13/2), Classic King (8/1), Ike Sport (9/1)

Claims can be made for all of these, but MYRETOWN arguably has the most potential going chasing for the first time so gets the vote. Likeable pair Autumn Return and Malaita have the advantage of experience over fences so they head the dangers.
