Verdict

The Joe Tizzard stable found form again over the weekend so it might be worth chancing I SHUT THAT D'OR to make a successful return after a breathing operation. The thriving Holy Legend rates an obvious threat, while Diplomatic Ash has a good record here.

6	Won 3 handicap chases in 2024/25. Showed he retains ability on second outing back after an absence when third over C&D in May. Bang there when unseating 3 out at Plumpton next time. Had a breathing operation after and returns with his yard back among the winners over the weekend. 1st Pick 6 I Shut That D'or (Fr) Jockey: Brendan Powell Trainer: Joe Tizzard J: Brendan Powell T: Joe Tizzard	95	-	-	-	17%	5/1

7	Strong traveller and seems a reformed character (formerly moody) this season, winning 3 times, including here. Creditable fourth of 9 at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 11 days ago and no reason why he won't give another good account. 2nd Pick 7 Holy Legend Jockey: James Best Trainer: Alexandra Dunn J: James Best T: Alexandra Dunn	96	-	-	-	19%	9/2

5	Not straightforward but this dual course chase winner put his best foot forward to score over hurdles at Plumpton (21f, good) when last seen in May, just holding on after idling. Returned from a break to finish second in this race 12 months ago and has to enter calculations. 3rd Pick 5 Diplomatic Ash (Ire) Jockey: Caoilin Quinn Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore J: Caoilin Quinn T: Gary & Josh Moore	100	-	-	-	27%	11/4
