CHICAGO OUTFIT didn't disgrace himself on his only other start on easy ground at Carlisle in March and, off what looks an attractive mark following his Doncaster exploits latest, John Wade's charge is expected to go very close. Just The Job must be considered now tried with cheekpieces and a tongue tie for the first time, while Playing The Field is expected to come on for his seasonal bow.
Those with experience over fences all look vulnerable for one reason or another and it's best to concentrate on chasing debutants Nodebateaboutit and Harris Hawk, with the former marginally preferred given his proven fitness. Chicago Outfit can do best of those with previous chase form, with the stiffer test of stamina and first-time cheekpieces both potential positives.

Dizzy River is turned out here under a penalty following his winning effort at Musselburgh on Tuesday but while he justified short-priced favouritism with ease on that occasion, preference here is for BAGSY'S BRIDGE. Timmy Murphy keeps the ride aboard this son of Great Palm and, while underfoot conditions are an unknown quantity, he remains on what looks an attractive mark. Sedgefield third Trojan Gift is another for the shortlist.
Dizzy River would take plenty of beating if turning up in the same form as when successful at Musselburgh less than a week ago, but that quick turnaround is a slight concern and Bagsy's Bridge, who's another that's not been long with a shrewd stable, is marginally preferred. Classical Mist is also worth considering.

The Hollinwell shaped with promise at Doncaster when last sighted and Ferdy Murphy's charge must be considered a threat off this mark. Preference however is for the exciting MIDNIGHT CHASE. This would appear a huge ask off top weight but the Cheltenham Gold Cup fifth oozes class and will have stripped fitter for his effort in the Champion Chase at Down Royal in early November. Wayward Prince boasts C&D winning form and is another that will have come on for his seasonal reappearance in the Hennessy.
Knockara Beau made a highly satisfactory return to chasing when runner-up off this mark at Cheltenham recently and could prove too strong for the upwardly-mobile Always Right. Sarando, Midnight Chase and Halley are others that could also make their presence felt.

SIMONSIDE rattled the crossbar here over 3m1f earlier in the month, touched off by the reopposing My Arch by just a nose after a messy jump at the last dented his chances. Now dropped back in trip, Brian Ellison's charge could gain compensation. High Ransom looks the main danger having got his hurdles career back on track with victory at Carlisle last month. Sendali has edged up 7lb for finishing runner-up at Aintree in June but has place possibilities.
My Arch beat Simonside a nose over 25f here earlier in the month, and there shouldn't be much between them again, but on slightly better terms over this shorter trip the latter is fancied to reverse that form. High Ransom is unexposed granted a test and is another to consider.

SUPER DIRECTA has made a pleasing start to his chase career and is taken to build upon an impressive victory in a beginners' contest at Ffos Las now back in handicaps. In an open race, others to consider are John Wade's Tyrone House, who scored off 6lb lower last term and could have been rejuvenated by a break, and Bene Lad, who failed to do himself justice when throwing off his rider at the first at Cheltenham last time but has Timmy Murphy booked.
Bene Lad had been in good heart prior to his early mishap at Cheltenham last time and is taken to regain the winning thread. Bocciani and course specialist Border Reiver are others to consider.

Chicklemix has been raised 3lb for finishing third at Market Rasen earlier in the month and even though Gina Andrews takes off a handy 5lb, preference is for ANANDA KANDA. Brian Ellison's representative has been in good heart since returning to this sphere last month and is taken to build upon an impressive five-length victory at Ludlow latest. Bring Sweets, a stablemate of the selection, is also respected in view of her C&D-winning form.
Course-winner Dzesmin shaped well again last time and could be the answer to a competitive finale. Ananda Kanda was impressive at Ludlow and needs considering along with Zafranagar.
