C&D winner landed a Musselburgh chase in December though hasn't threatened to win off a higher mark in subsequent starts, disappointing with his effort off the bridle when a well held fourth in a 10-runner handicap chase at Hexham (20f) in May. Given a break and could be more competitive up in trip.

Largely in fine heart since joining these connections, built on promising run over hurdles to bag a second success for the yard in 5-runner chase at this course (19.2f) 23 days ago, rallying well to collar an idling favourite (who bolted up here next time). One to be interested in upped in trip.

Placed in a bumper and over hurdles in August 2023. Ran creditably in Point this spring prior to being backed into favouritism on return to rules but finished well held after going off hard in a handicap hurdle here last month. Interesting to see if market confidence remains on chase debut.

Maiden over hurdles for Chris Grant. Typically went with plenty of exuberance when failing to justify support on chase/stable debut at Ffos Las in May and jumping wasn't up to scratch when third at Stratford (17f) 19 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can put it all together upped markedly in trip.

Has improved since tackling staying chases, winning 3 of his last 7 starts, most recently beating a field of in-form rivals when winning a 6-runner handicap at Southwell (24.3f) 27 days ago. Wasn't value for any more than the winning margin that day but should continue to give a good account.

Timeform Verdict

TOP OF THE BAY arrives in fine form having rallied to beat a subsequent winner at this course last month, and he may well have more to offer over this longer trip. He's preferred to fellow last time out winner Cave Article. who should continue to give a good account despite a 4 lb rise, while Slievegar can again be competitive under his regular conditional rider.
