Warren Greatrex, Upper Lambourn T B Ms Helga Moore 1Account Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Malinas gelding who was runner-up in Irish point on debut in May but ran to only a modest level when seventh in a Uttoxeter bumper 3 months ago. Market check advised for hurdles bow. TFRHHHII BHA-

Sam Twiston-Davies J Nigel Twiston-Davies, Cheltenham T B Thomas James Agetur (UK) Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Lightly-raced winner in points who ran to a fair level when fourth in a Southwell bumper last month. Modest third on hurdles bow 12 days ago and should take a step forward from that effort here. TFRHHHII BHA-

Haras Des Monts D’Arree et al bresbet ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful winning chaser who possibly failed to stay when last seen at Sedgefield 11 months ago. Has joined a top yard/had a wind operation so makes obvious appeal back over timber here. TFRHHHHH BHA116

David Bridgwater, Stow-on-the-Wold T B Team Hogdala AB Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful/reliable stayer on the Flat who showed promise on hurdles/yard debut after 6 months off when fourth at Plumpton recently. Capable of better, so he’s shortlisted. TFRHHHHI BHA-

DECLARED RUNNERS 6

Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No. 3. Probable S.P’s: 11-8 Cap St Vincent (FR), 3-1 Ballycamus (IRE), 10-3 Tigerten (GB), 9-1 Art of Illusion (IRE), 25-1 Hardy Boy (FR), 300-1 Tiger Print (GB)

PLAY SMARTER CAP ST VINCENT has an experience edge over his five rivals so Fergal O’Brien’s new recruit gets the verdict to open his account over timber. He’s had a breathing operation prior to this reappearance and should prove tough to beat. Tigerten may provide the main threat having shown an aptitude for hurdling when fourth at Plumpton recently, ahead of Ballycamus.
