Cashed in career-low mark at Perth last week (2m4f, good; made all); still on a good mark.
8	Couldbeaweapon ch Jonathan England · Sam England	Jonathan England · Sam England	155	tb	732423	80	100	96	28d	—	—	0	22.8	3/1 25%
Another frame finish at Sedgefield latest (2m5f, good) and similar looks achievable here.
4	Cawthorne Cracker b Toby Wynne · Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	Toby Wynne · Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	160	tp	53-552	85	100	87	21d	—	—	-1	12.8	5/1 17%
Last month's Uttoxeter near-miss (2m) was a career-best effort; up 2lb but in the mix.

Ahead of a next-time winner when second in a Fontwell 0-110 latest; chance on that form.

2m Uttoxeter chase winner in July off only 2lb lower; weakly efforts on last two runs.
6	Mr Mahler ch Peter Kavanagh · Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	Peter Kavanagh · Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	159	—	00342-	84	96	65	253d	—	—	+9	17.5	9/1 10%
Previous precedent suggests he'll be better for this run; could still jump fences better.
5	Boskill Borden b Shane Fenelon(5) · David Rees	Shane Fenelon(5) · David Rees	159	p	572369	84	-	-	26d	—	—	+8	13	18/1 5%
Might take to chasing, but lines up here on the back of two hurdling disappointments.
10	Mawlood b James Davies · Georgie Howell	James Davies · Georgie Howell	142	tb	-76568	67	91	68	6d	—	—	+3	4.5	250/1 0%
0-17 over fences and beaten 103l at Worcester six days ago; out of the weights again.
9	Across The Ocean b Mr Joseph Stevenson(7) · Tracey Leeson	Mr Joseph Stevenson(7) · Tracey Leeson	151	t	70-P9P	76	-	-	17d	—	—	+6	6.7	300/1 0%
Some encouragement for chasing on pedigree, but yet to offer anything for current handler.
3	Jobesgreen Lad b Mr Harvey Barfoot-Saunt(7) · Tracey Barfoot-Saunt	Mr Harvey Barfoot-Saunt(7) · Tracey Barfoot-Saunt	165	tb	-33PPP	90	-	-	70d	—	—	+9	10.2	500/1 0%
Still going okay until a bad error at Worcester latest, but now 0-14 going this way round.
