Selected odds by:

Call Off The Dogs^b⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 105| CD

Made a fine start to the campaign, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts when (all here) over C&D in September. Handicapper applies a little more pressure but he has to command respect again.

Form: 44-1121

Shuil Ceoil^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 101

Fair winner at 22f over hurdles who was in good form earlier this year but made an inauspicious start in this sphere when pulled up at Worcester (23f) last month. Has a background in points and too soon to be writing him off. This should reveal more.

Form: 4P2-44P

Samazul¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 101| C

Bumper winner who failed to score over hurdles but has the build for chasing and he duly improved when opening his account on return/debut over fences here (17.8f) 16 days ago. Impressed with how he travelled then and highly respected up 5 lb.

Form: 80537-1

Sir Rock^p1³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: K Brogan| T: T Lawes| OR: 101| C

Made a very bright start over fences during second half of last term, winning handicaps at Plumpton/here prior to a very good second at first-named venue on final outing in March. Likely needed his hurdles return here 5 weeks ago and better anticipated returned to chasing. Cheekpieces go on.

Form: 35112-7

Leading Swoop^p¹⁹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford| OR: 90

Fair maiden hurdler who made a bright start over fences when second over 21.6f here in January. However, failed by a long way to replicate that in 3 starts thereafter during the spring. Drop back in trip needs to have positive effect back from 6 months off.

Form: P325P8-

West Orchard^p,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 87

Hails from a yard enjoying a fine autumn and bounced back to his best after 6 months when taking 7-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f) 18 days ago. Questionable he'll be in the same form here though, given his overall record.

Form: 92326-1

Jack Doyen^b¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case| OR: 83

Knuckled down well when gaining a second career success at Hereford (20.9f) in March. Respectable efforts final 2 starts but ran a somewhat typical race when third behind West Orchard on return at Plumpton 18 days ago, not convincing with jumping/finishing effort. Others preferred.

Form: 3F124-3

I Love You Sivola^t¹⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes| OR: 78| D

French recruit who has essentially struggled for present yard, albeit not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in a C&D handicap when last seen in June. Lines up here from basement mark but others hold more pressing claims.

Form: 642B-P4

Can't Buy Time^b1,t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 74

No show in 5 starts over hurdles and, following 8 months off/breathing operation, he dropped away quickly when pulled up on chase debut at Plumpton in October. Hard to warm to operating from out of the weights.

Form: 606PP-P

Forecasts

Samazul (2/1), West Orchard (3/1), Call Off The Dogs (4/1), Sir Rock (8/1), Jack Doyen (10/1), Shuil Ceoil (12/1), Leading Swoop (14/1), I Love You Sivola (20/1), Can't Buy Time (100/1)

SAMAZUL impressed with how he jumped/travelled when making a winning chase debut here (17.8f) 16 days ago. He promises to do better still judged by the manner of that success and makes plenty of appeal back up in trip. Sir Rock, with a reappearance run over hurdles behind him, and Call Off The Dogs, who has landed 3 of his last 4 starts here, can provide chief resistance.
