Mr Grey Sky^p²⁴⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K C Bailey| OR: 120| D

7/2

Won a pair of 2m handicap chases at a similar time last year. Respectable third at Newcastle when last seen in February. Returns off his last successful mark and is stable is going well so there are reasons to be positive.

Form: 8/11P43-

Champagnesuperover^t¹⁶⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 120| D

11/2

Dual chaser winner around 3m in spring 2022. Showed ability remains after a long absence on the first of 2 outings over hurdles this spring. Well handicapped on his peak efforts over fences but isn't certain to benefit from the drop to 2m.

Form: 3114/4-F

Fast Buck^t¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 118| D

8/1

Dual chase winner and should be sharper for a recent comeback outing over hurdles. More than capable off this mark if on a going day.

Form: 18436-8

Royal Jewel²⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 117| BF

5/2

Progressive over hurdles at Exeter last season, including a maiden win around 2m and a near miss in a handicap over 18.5f. An Irish point background provides hope he can prove at least as good over fences. Interesting runner.

Form: 225122-

Dr T J Eckleburg¹⁹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 113| D

9/1

Two chase wins last season and plenty of creditable efforts in defeat subsequently. Should be competitive if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Form: 432434-

Western General^t¹⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 111| CWS

4/1

Hurdles winner who got the hang of chasing in the spring, going close at Taunton before fourth of 11 at Ffos Las. Has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance.

Form: 1/6P02-4

Magistrato^t⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 109| CD

5/1

Consistent in the last 12 months, including a C&D win in July. No match for a subsequent winner back here last time but it was another creditable effort.

Form: 2-33132

Forecasts

Royal Jewel (5/2), Champagnesuperover (4/1), Mr Grey Sky (9/2), Dr T J Eckleburg (11/2), Magistrato (6/1), Western General (6/1), Fast Buck (25/1)

MR GREY SKY won first time up last season and is taken to repeat the feat with the Kim Bailey team in form. Chase newcomer Royal Jewel is a potentially dangerous opponent, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Joe Tizzard was among the winners over the weekend and his course hurdle scorer Western General could also play a part if a wind operation has had a positive effect.
