Dartan

11st 7lb

J: Sean Bowen

Useful hurdler in Ireland; beaten in a match over fences on stable debut (first-time visor); this return to hurdles is welcomed but he appears to have developed some of his own ideas; had wind surgery.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Sarah Humphrey

Very useful handicap hurdler in Ireland when on song but not at same level on his three chasing attempts, and looked very unenthusiastic when third in four-runner beginners' event at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in July; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this stable debut; will probably need to travel with much greater zest.

Snipe

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Won hunter chases at 2m5f and 2m last season but his peak efforts have come over staying trips and he shaped when fourth of five at Worcester (2m4f, good) 12 days ago like he would appreciate today's longer distance; the cheekpieces are left off once more; respected on second start back from a break.

Won two hunter chases in early part of this year (2m5f/2m) and was second of four when back in a handicap at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in May; takes on in-form rivals on this first start since, though, and they appeal more.

J: James Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Back in prime form when keeping on strongly for clearcut success in first-time blinkers at Worcester (2m7f, good) 12 days ago, and now 4-11 over fences; on the downside, he's never run here before and will have something to prove if the ground is slower than good to soft.

T: Mickey Bowen

Back to form with 9l second to well-handicapped winner at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f, good) in June and it was the competitive Summer Plate there in which he was soundly beaten last time (hampered four out and wasn't disgraced); could be in the mix back down in grade, provided the step back up in trip isn't an issue; wears first-time blinkers.

He's just 1lb higher than when winning at Southwell (3m, good to soft) last March; Ascot in November was a step back in the right direction but he was still below his best and this 9yo needs to raise his game today.

Spoiled chance by jumping poorly on final appearance last season but won with considerable authority at Southwell (3m, good to soft) two starts ago and has good claims if able to repeat that performance.

Off the mark over hurdles at sixth attempt, coming from the rear and doing it very comfortably under confident Conor O'Farrell ride at Wincanton (3m, soft) 12 days ago; 9lb higher here but still commands respect.

Seen in a much more positive light last time when stepped up from 2m to 3m for handicap debut here (good; 25-1) and finishing 9l third of 15 from off the pace; has the same mark today and seemingly needs to find a bit more but this looks a weak race.
