Verdict

ST FAZ thrived on the Flat for shrewd connections this year and looks well worth another chance in this sphere. The most solid of the dangers is Tilehurst, who goes well for Sean Bowen, with Ballygeary and Moutarde both potentially interesting if on a going day.

2	Fairly useful for Gordon Elliott. Made an excellent start for shrewd yard when winning 4 staying handicaps on the Flat this spring. Strong in the market when undone by his jumping in the Summer Plate in July. Promising claimer takes over and worth another chance back hurdling in much calmer waters. 1st Pick 2 St Faz (Fr) Jockey: Oakley Brown Trainer: Adrian Keatley J: Oakley Brown T: Adrian Keatley	96	-	-	-	20%	4/1

4	Won a 4-runner bumper here on debut. Found generously when opening his hurdles account in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester (2m) in July. No match for a couple of interesting types under stable's claimer at Fontwell (2¼m) last time. Should fare better with Sean Bowen back aboard. 2nd Pick 4 Tilehurst Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Neil Mulholland J: Sean Bowen T: Neil Mulholland	98	-	-	-	25%	3/1

7	Won twice as a juvenile hurdler in 2024/5. Last seen finishing 10 lengths second in military riders handicap at Wincanton in March. Tongue strap now refitted following a breathing operation, and he's worth a second look off a slipping mark (yard recently off the cold list). 3rd Pick 7 Moutarde (Ire) Jockey: Dylan Johnston Trainer: Syd Hosie J: Dylan Johnston T: Syd Hosie	100	-	-	-	14%	13/2
