Selected odds by:

Bold Endeavour¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: L Morgan| OR: 139

40/1

Very useful hurdler and chaser at his best for Nicky Henderson in recent seasons. Rejoined Laura Morgan after 6 months off when only seventh of 8 to Harbour Lake in handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good) 18 days ago but can take a step forward now.

Form: 2640-07

Harbour Lake¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 135| C

10/3

Course winner who resumed his progress when landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good) 18 days ago. Up 6 lb but he merits serious consideration once more.

Form: P552-31

Supreme Gift^v³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 135

6/1

A useful chase/hurdles winner who resumed from 6 months off with an encouraging seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good) 32 days ago, fading only on the run-in. Very much one to consider.

Form: 4P213-7

Skyjack Hijack¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 132

13/8

Very progressive hurdler and he readily completed a 5-timer in 5-runner novice hurdle at Exeter (22f, good) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly back in handicap company.

Form: 211111

West To The Bridge^t¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 131

12/1

On a losing run but he comes here on the back of an excellent third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, soft) 14 days ago. Expected to be bang there back up in trip.

Form: F544-33

Idem³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 127| D

12/1

Scored at Kelso in May and in good nick since, eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good) 32 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 4F5-128

Willaston^p,t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 126

22/1

A three-time hurdle winner since joining Mark Walford but proving hit and miss of late, a well-held fourth in 3m Aintree handicap 18 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 402-034

What A Johnny^t1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 118

9/2

Off 5 months/had wind op before a fading sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Tongue strap goes on for the 1st time now and no surprise to see him get back on the up.

Form: 1331-26

Giovanni Change¹⁰²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 115| CD

22/1

A 3-time C&D winner but he beat only one in handicap hurdle over C&D in August. Has something to prove.

Form: 22-3PP8

Forecasts

Skyjack Hijack (15/8), Harbour Lake (7/2), Idem (13/2), What A Johnny (7/1), Supreme Gift (7/1), West To The Bridge (10/1), Willaston (14/1), Bold Endeavour (25/1), Giovanni Change (25/1)

HARBOUR LAKE got back on the up when scoring at Aintree and this course winner edges the vote in this tight-knit handicap. Dan Skelton's handily-weighted West To The Bridge rates a big threat though, while Skyjack Hijack, Supreme Gift and What A Johnny can all have a say too.
