Verdict

DEXTER remains on a competitive mark and is weighted to this time get the better of Getaway Jewel, who bested him at Worcester 3 weeks ago and has since run well enough at Cartmel. Tropical Talent is also shortlisted in a race that lacks depth.

4	Successful in 17f Cartmel handicap chase last August and having dipped back below that winning mark, he ran better than for a while when 2 lengths third of 10 to Getaway Jewel in handicap chase at Worcester (2m, good) 21 days ago. Better off at the weights this time and enters calculations. 1st Pick 4 Dexter (Fr) Jockey: Toby Wynne Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Toby Wynne T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	100	-	-	-	31%	9/4

6	Back in good heart, building on a couple of runner-up efforts when notching a rare win in 2m handicap chase at Worcester 3 weeks ago, holding on gamely. Shaped as if still in top form until Cartmel's marathon run-in caught him out there 9 days ago and he's respected after another quick turnaround. 2nd Pick 6 Getaway Jewel (Ire) Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Micky Hammond J: Brian Hughes T: Micky Hammond	94	-	-	-	19%	9/2

8	Has won just once from 26 starts but was in decent form in the spring, runner-up in a Bangor handicap hurdle when last seen over obstacles in July. Had breathing operation/run on the Flat since, and he's respected with yard going in better form. 3rd Pick 8 Tropical Talent Jockey: Jack Tudor Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Jack Tudor T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	90	-	-	-	11%	17/2
