Gore Point (G)
[T]
Scored twice over hurdles at Newton Abbot in the summer and did too much too soon when fourth in handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f, good to soft) 43 days ago. One to consider.

Begin The Luck (G)
FAV
[P]
Refitted with cheekpieces when a good second of 8 in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, good) 7 days ago. Expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark with headgear again sported.

Famoso (G)
Yet to fire this season and he came in only seventh of 12 in 2m Hereford handicap chase 24 days ago. Others appeal more.

King Of The Story (G)
[T]
Gained a third 2m4f chase win this season at Warwick in September but pulled up in handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, soft) 38 days ago when let down by his jumping. Has a bit to prove now.

H Cobden | P Gundry | 9 | 73.5 kg |

Gerard Mentor (G)
[TV]
Quirky sort but he comes here in good nick, third of 12 in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good) 24 days ago. Can make his presence felt again.

Fox Wallace (M)
[T]
Scored at Stratford in May but had a wind op before being pulled up in 2m1f handicap chase at Cartmel in August. Needs to get back on track.

Chief O'Hara (G)
Ex-Irish maiden hurdler/chaser who could never land a blow dropped to 2m when sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f, soft) 8 days ago. Others appeal more at these weights.

Forget You Not (G)
[PT]
Unreliable individual who came in eighth of 12 in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good) 24 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.
