Page Fuller J Jamie Snowden, Lambourn T B A. J. & Mrs J. Ward Betvictor S TIMEFORM VIEW Built on the promise of last run back up in trip when impressive winner of 5-runner handicap here (18.5f) last month. The third has franked that form since, so an 8lb rise looks manageable. TFRHHHHH BHA116

Br Gr g Tin Horse (IRE) - Dame du Floc (IRE) O Caveat Emptor Partnership

Jack Hogan (7) J Fergal O’Brien, Cheltenham T B Mme Sarah Lhermite bresbet ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Well suited by a good pace to aim at when running out a clear-cut winner at Warwick (2m) in May. Test of speed not ideal at Huntingdon next time but underperformed again 7 weeks on from a poor effort on the Flat at Bangor 15 days ago. Bit to prove at present. TFRHHHII BHA115

Thomas Doggrell (7) J Brian Barr, Sherborne T B Aislabie Bloodstock Ltd Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW C&D winner who wasted no time getting back to form when second (despite a less-than-ideal position) to Fire Lake over C&D in July. Below par at Fontwell since though, so needs to bounce back. TFRHHHII BHA115

Tom Scudamore J David Pipe, Wellington T B R. S. Brookhouse W & S Recycling S TIMEFORM VIEW Steadily progressive over hurdles, resuming winning ways in 4-runner contest at Stratford (16.3f) in July. Ran creditably when third in a better race at Perth (16.2f, good to firm) since and should remain competitive. TFRHHHII BHA111

Bradley Harris (7) J Milton Harris, Warminster T B Myles Sunderland bresbet ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Followed up her Stratford maiden success switched to a handicap over C&D in July. Ran at least as well in her hat-trick bid when second in 6-runner handicap at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 12 days ago, conceding first run. Can give another good account.

Probable S.P.’s: 15-8 Bucko’s Boy (GB), 11-4 Fire Lake (IRE), 5-1 Lady Reset (GB), 6-1 Elham Valley (FR), 9-1 Manor Park (GB)

PLAY SMARTER BUCKO’S BOY ran out an impressive winner of a 5-runner handicap in a good time here last month and, with that form already franked by the third since, he looks capable of defying an 8lb rise and following up. Fire Lake conceded first run with waiting tactics back in use when runner-up at Fontwell recently and is feared most, ahead of Lady Reset.
