Verdict
TRAVELING SOLDIER had been in good form prior to getting off the mark at Market Rasen and he can follow up after a minimal rise in the weights. Hobie returned from over a year off when winning over hurdles here and he rates as the main threat if going the right way from that, with chase newcomer Auntie Maggie appealing as most interesting of the remainder.

VerdictRunner-up twice over fences early in the summer before getting off the mark after a wind-op in a 5-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, heavy) 61 days ago. Looks the one to beat from just 1 lb higher. - 1. Auntie MaggieJ: Jonathan BurkeT: Alastair RalphF: P21-41165

VerdictWinner of 3 of her last 6 starts over hurdles, the most recent of which came at Uttoxeter in June. Mid-field from higher marks both starts since, so interesting to see whether she fares better switched to chasing. - 3. HobieJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: David DennisF: 5P52/287-1

VerdictShowed good form in spring 2024 with back-to-back seconds in handicap chases. Capitalised on a reduced mark after 13 months off when scraping home in a 10-runner handicap hurdle at this course (20f, good, 13/2) 16 days ago. Not guaranteed to back that up but claims if able to do so.

VerdictQuisort who ended a losing run over C&D last summer but much more miss than hit since, though admittedly stopped the slide to an extent when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. Others still preferred.

VerdictModest winner on hurdles debut last summer but yet to really build on that, albeit back on track to extent on his second chase start when 2 lengths fourth of 5 to Traveling Soldier in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, heavy) 61 days ago. May come up short against that rival again.
