17th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Moved out of the Moore stable since last run six months ago and remains in same ownership; well handicapped on best form, including placed efforts in the Betfair Hurdle and Swinton in 2023; has joined Harry Derham who does very well with recruits from other yards, particularly at the first attempt and when fresh; one to consider. |

Patchy campaign last season and well beaten at Plumpton last time in a race he won 12 months earlier; however, he showed spark at Ascot two starts ago and is 3lb lower than when runner-up in this race last year (good ground); no headgear today (worn on last three outings); not ruled out. |

9th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner who is on a reduced mark and took a step back in the right direction when 9l fourth of 12 at Cartmel in August; fell at Kelso since; however, this 10yo takes on some unexposed types and his claims aren't compelling. |

Hasn't won since January 2023; now 16lb lower; finished in front of Ashington and Well Educated when fourth in first-time tongue-tie (retained) over 2m1f on soft at Cartmel last time but not sure to confirm the form on today's better ground. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A pretty useful jumper, last successful in a 2m handicap hurdle here in September; rarely seen on the Flat in recent years but he has finished second in staying handicaps on AW on his last two runs in this sphere; should be involved. |

14th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Outclassed in the Greatwood last time when pulled up at 100-1; usually consistent and went into that in form after competitive runs over 2m (good/heavy); however, he .does look on a tough mark and might be vulnerable. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won a Market Rasen handicap off 3lb higher in January (2m4f, good to soft); fair second on same track last month (2m7f, good); each-way chance. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Posted sound effort when keeping-on second over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month and should be fine back over fences but has very mixed record this year that includes three defeats in plating company; younger rivals have more convincing profiles. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made all to win by 8l over 2m4f here earlier in the year but beaten at plating level in three of his subsequent races and was 66-1 when well held back in a handicap here four weeks ago; opposable. |

27th Nov 2024 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Had to work hard to justify odds of 2-7 in Plumpton seller last Monday, and has to carry 7lb penalty here; however, he was a good second in a handicap at Perth two starts ago and today's mark isn't beyond him judged on his best form; no surprise if he plays a major role. |

Lightly raced 5yo who won a juvenile hurdle in 2022 and was close second in both handicap hurdles last season (2m/1m7f); makes chasing debut after 323-day absence and is unraced on ground faster than good to soft but could have a good future over fences. |

2m3f maiden hurdle winner (good) who was third on recent chase/seasonal debut at Bangor (2m1f, good); high on the list after that promising start. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Absent since below-par hurdle run in April but was generally consistent in stronger races than this last season, and makes his chasing debut from a workable mark; interesting to see how he fares. |

Verdict
A small but strong field. Javert Allen is highly respected after only three races, with the prospect of further improvement, but 2m on this right-handed track could prove just the ticket for MR MACKAY, who has already won here once and ran a cracking race in a big-field handicap at Cheltenham last time out. Nayati and Matchless also look ready to run well.[Richard Austen]
