Master Chewy (G)
[V1]
Back to form when second in Grade 2 at Kempton last month. Game winner of this last season but this looks a stronger renewal. Headgear on. Opposable under a penalty.

Lulamba (G)
FAV
One of the leading juvenile hurdlers last season and has looked an even better chaser this term, winning Grade 1 at Sandown in impressive fashion 9 weeks ago. Taking on more seasoned rivals now but still looks the one to beat with ceiling …

Brookie (G)
[T]
Made great strides as a novice over fences last term, winning twice before ending campaign with excellent second in Grade 1 at Aintree. Decent third at Cheltenham on return but completely misfired at Ascot since. Bit to find even if back t…

Calico (G)
[PT]
Brilliantly primed to win 2 £100k handicaps at Cheltenham and Ascot this autumn. Freshened up since and well worth another shot at this level.

Libberty Hunter (G)
Smart chaser who scored at Cheltenham on his return last term before good second in this. However, let down by jumping since, including both starts this season.

Meetmebythesea (G)
Progressive novice hurdler last season, winning 3 times before fine third in EBF Final at Sandown in March. Continued his improvement switched to fences this term, winning at Wetherby and Ayr. More to come but likely to find this company t…

Saint Segal (G)
[T]
Having an excellent season, winning twice and runner-up other 2 starts, including when beaten only by a highly progressive rival in Grade 2 handicap at Kempton over Christmas. Should be bang there on these terms.
