CRACKING DESTINY has been going very well this season and opened the season with back to back second place finishes at Perth.

But then he did manage to find a little more to score at Stratford on his latest, thanks to a good jumping performance. Cracking Destiny was fourth in last year’s renewal.

NUTS WELL took the win in this fixture twelve months ago. He was just thriving last season and if he’s back in that kind of mood he should go well.

Nuts Well scored this and the Old Roan last year back to back. His chances will hinge on him being sharp enough after a break of 162 days.

KING D’ARGENT progressed well over the fences last season and should be able to put in a bold run in this one.

He was a runner up at Ayr on his latest effort 168 days ago. David Skelton’s 6-year-old may just take preference.

Tip: KING D’ARGENT 3/1* (odds recorded 18:12 GMT on October 2nd 2021 at William Hill)

We slip into a smaller field here and DIEU VIVANT warrants plenty of respect.

He is down 7lb from his last handicap effort which was at Ludlow back in February.

Dieu Vivant has been disappointing in hunter chases during the spring but the assessor has given him a big chance here.

FLYING VERSE had excuses while out over the hurdles last time out.

So if we can look past that and instead towards his win at Bangor in a handicap chase last month, then he should go well. Going back to the bigger stuff should help.

PRINCE DUNDEE was very disappointing on his latest run which was off a revised mark as well. He doesn’t look to be on it at the moment.

DEFINITE WISDOM had a couple of brighter moments last winter but was poor at Newcastle 208 days ago.

Tip: DIEU VIVANT 4/1* (odds recorded 18:12 GMT on October 2nd 2021 at William Hill)

Race Preview

WRITTENINTHESAND picked up a nice win at Market Rasen on his reappearance run. He was back at the same venue for his follow up.

The jumping game didn’t go quite as well for him on that one, but Written In The Sand still took a second place finish. He should be in this one.

LIGHT FLICKER definitely rates as a danger in this one as he completed a comfortable score here at Uttoxeter back in February.

He was in very good form earlier this year and looked well suited to that longer 3m trip he had here.

Light Flicker should have a good chance of pushing on further this season and if he’s sharp for his reappearance, he could be in this.

SCOTTSDALE has pulled up in two of his last three goes in National Hunt. Sandwiched between those was a good second-place finish in a handicap here in June.

There has been a blast on the flat for Scottsdale so he should turn up a match for this one. Place claims are there.

Tip: SCOTTSDALE 25/1 e/w* (odds recorded 18:12 GMT on October 2nd 2021 at William Hill)

HAVANA HERMANO has been getting close in this sphere on his latest effort, having placed in his last three.

He had opened the season with a score over the hurdles, a good batting effort here at Uttoxeter.

Havana Hermano has just continued on well in good form, so another decent run is expected from him.

RISK AND ROLL makes the return to hurdles on what is his first run for a new yard. That could be an interesting factor in this one. Risk And Roll has largely been in hunter chases but may have enough to feature.

JUSTATENNER is a reliable one and looks to be on a decent mark. He will prefer the pace to be on the quicker side in this one.

He has won before at Uttoxeter and is in reasonable current form. Conditions haven’t suited him the last twice at Cartmel and Perth, but being eased 2lb will help.

Tip: HAVANA HERMANO 3/1* (odds recorded 18:12 GMT on October 2nd 2021 at William Hill)

Declared Runners: 5
Distance: 2m

Race Preview

This is a competitive handicap chase that is wide open. Each of the five runners have a reasonable shot at this one.

FORT DE L’OCEAN is match fit and is carrying some nice form at the moment. 11 days ago he took a fourth at Perth.

There was a mistake from Fore De L’Ocean in that one early on which threw him off his game a little bit. He’s been eased 2lb and is a big player.

VALENCE D’AUMONT opened the season with a win, getting that one on the board at Kelso. He followed up with a reasonable third at Cartmel.

Valence D’Aumont should have gotten the win at Cartmel but ruined his shot at that with a poor mistake three from home. He’s been resting for 125 days since then.

DARLING DU LARGE has been in the places in all three runs this season, kicking the season off with a 2m win at Newton Abbot.

She was a little below her best on her latest a month ago, struggling to get anywhere near the front two at Stratford. Darling Du Large is good enough to bounce back.

Tip: FORT DE L’OCEAN 4/1* (odds recorded 18:12 GMT on October 2nd 2021 at William Hill)

Distance: 2m 4f

Race Preview

SANDY BROOK takes preference in this contest after a lengthy break. On a hurdles debut back in March at Fontwell, he showed some promise along with some obvious inexperience.

It has been a break of 2007 days for Sandy Brook, but the move up to a longer trip looks like an obvious and positive play.

THE BOMBER LISTON has had one go over the obstacles and showed some promise in that one as well.

That was a third-place on his hurdling bow at Hexham in the summer. He put things together well at the end of the race so demands respect.

Nicky Henderson’s ANOTHER BROWN BEAR is the final selection for the shortlist.

He got off the mark in a bumper on his second appearance, which was back in April. He’s been rested since then and steps into his rules debut with promise.

Tip: THE BOMBER LISTON 4/1* (odds recorded 18:12 GMT on October 2nd 2021 at William Hill)
