Saint Segal^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 137| D

11/4

Improved to win 6-runner handicap chase at Newbury (19.8f, good to soft, 2/1) 24 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Relished the switch to front-running tactics that day and worth a chance to follow up with similarly positive tactics employed.

Form: 36-4751

Heltenham^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: C Gethings| T: D Skelton| OR: 136| D

11/2

Improved again last season, the highlight being his victory in Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury (20f) in March. Yet to hit top form this season.

Form: 118F-84

Sir Psycho^p⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 135

9/2

Made his first start since leaving Paul Nicholls a winning one in novice handicap at Ascot (18.8f) last November. Still going well when fell 5 out in 2m4f Punchestown handicap in May and should be better for his reappearance at Newbury 43 days ago. Considered.

Form: 2U42F-6

Hubrisko^t⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: J J Burke| T: Harry Derham| OR: 134

20/1

Useful hurdler/chaser for Willie Mullins, well served by front-running tactics when landing 6-runner Killarney maiden chase (23f, soft) in August 2023. Friendless in the market and made a low-key return from 15 months off back over hurdles at Newbury 6 weeks ago so others more appealing.

Form: 32291-7

Bhaloo²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 134| CD

13/2

Dual novice hurdle winner last season and made a winning start over fences in 4-runner handicap chase at Ascot (18.8f, good) on his return. Tame display over hurdles at Cheltenham since but remains with potential in this sphere.

Form: 141-21P

Triple Trade^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 127| C| D

11/2

Successful twice in 2023/24. Good fifth in Red Rum at Aintree final start but is struggling to recapture his best form this term, fourth of 6 at Cheltenham (16.3f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Handicapper relinquishes his grip further and he's capable of getting involved back up in trip.

Form: 585-644

Salamanca Bay^h,t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 123

16/1

Headstrong sort who was well served by fitting of a hood when off the mark over fences for Lucinda Russell at Ayr (16.5f) in March. Signed off last season with a poor effort and probably needed stable debut when pulled up at Southwell last time.

Form: 2312-4P

Keep Running^t⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 123

13/2

Better than ever sent chasing last season, making all in novice handicap at Taunton in January. Back to winning ways in 5-runner event at Ludlow last time but this step back up in trip doesn't look an obvious move.

Form: 1P32-P1

Carbon King^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 122| D

16/1

Three-time winner over hurdles in Ireland and landed 2 chase victories for this yard last term. Yet to fire this season but this represents an ease in grade, so not without hope.

Form: PF1-945

Forecasts

Saint Segal (11/4), Sir Psycho (9/2), Heltenham (11/2), Triple Trade (11/2), Keep Running (13/2), Bhaloo (13/2), Salamanca Bay (16/1), Carbon King (16/1), Hubrisko (20/1)

SAINT SEGAL travelled and jumped with verve when making all at Newbury last time and remains on a feasible mark, so he's taken to follow up at the possible expense of Sir Psycho, who should be spot on with his reappearance behind him. Triple Trade is also a player back up in trip.
