EXC 1.15

Age: 8
Weight: 11st 9lbs
Or: 99

Three-time winner during 2025 who bettered previous exploits this season when adding a second C&D victory to his tally 6 weeks ago. Raised 7 lb on the back of that and possibilities for all Sean Bowen has plumped to ride Mancero on this occasion.

EXC 1.15

Low mileage 7-y-o who tasted success twice at up to (2½m, good to soft) upon joining James Owen last season. Hasn't really built on those efforts since, though, failing to come on for his reappearance when fifth on chasing debut at Uttoxeter 6 weeks ago. Tackles a longer trip now returned to timber.

EXC 1.15

Age: 6
Weight: 11st 7lbs
Or: 97

Dual point winner who shaped quite well on his last 2 starts over hurdles. However, has made an inauspicious start over fences (well backed first 2 starts) this summer. Needs the return to hurdling to spark a revival equipped with a first-time visor.

Building up a good record around here (form figures now 121) when running out a convincing winner of a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. Interesting Sean Bowen retains the ride and this 4-y-o looks another live player from a 5 lb higher mark.

Lightly-raced 7-y-o who stopped the slide to some extent with first-time blinkers enlisted when third in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. However, his overall record hardly suggests he'll build on that with a visor now the headgear of choice.

Doubled his career/Newton Abbot tally when narrow winner in first-time visor in June. Seemed anchored by a 4 lb rise more than anything when a respectable fourth in a C&D handicap since and he may have to settle for a minor role again.

Relatively lightly-raced 6-y-o who has saved his best for this venue, capitalising on a much-reduced mark when opening his account in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago. Raised 2 lb on the back of that and he's well worth considering again.

EXC 1.15

8-y-o mare who looked very rusty back from a break when seventh in a C&D handicap in May and no upturn for switch to chasing in 2 subsequent runs last month. Fitting of first-time blinkers (in place of cheekpieces) need to have positive effect now.

Not badly bred by any means but showed nothing in his qualifying hurdle runs and fared no better switched to handicaps at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) in June. Tongue strap goes on following a 67-day layoff.

Back to winning ways in 3m Warwick handicap chase in May and shaped as if still in good form when fourth over C&D next time. A hard race then may of left its mark at Market Rasen next time but makes a belated return to hurdles from a potentially lenient mark. Interesting in a switch of headgear.

Timeform Verdict

THE GREAT ESCAPE has saved his very best for this venue, capitalising on a much-reduced mark when successful over C&D 5 weeks ago. A token 2 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable and he rates a big player again. Fellow C&D winner Mancero is similarly compiling a solid course record and is a threat, with Redbridge Rambler another to note back over hurdles.
