11st 11lb |
Placed all three starts since opening account here (2m4f, good) in June, most recently when third behind Twp Stori at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month; still unexposed over this trip; likely contender again. |

11st 8lb |
Too good for a heavily backed subsequent winner when opening account at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last month; not quite in same form when well-held second off same mark a few days later and an 8lb rise has now taken effect but she remains of interest. |

Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt in conditional jockeys' race at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last week; pulled well clear of the others with the heavily backed runner-up there and escapes a penalty; needs to be taken very seriously. |

0-14 over hurdles but lost out only by a neck here (2m6f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in July and ran much better than bare form of 26l defeat might suggest at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last week; might be the answer. |

0-13 over hurdles but has been knocking on the door in recent months; went up 3lb for his close second at Stratford (2m6f, good) last time but capable amateur Alex Chadwick claims a useful 5lb here; respected. |

Launched handicap career with two respectable fifths for Harriet Dickin this spring, latterly in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); needs to take a step forward here but had wind surgery in June and it will be interesting to see what Donald McCain can do with him. |

Off the mark over hurdles at fifth attempt, rallying gamely to regain lead on run-in at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last week; has plenty of scope for further progress but the forecast rain is a worry here. |

Fourth in a bumper in October 2022 (2m1f, good); not shown a great deal over hurdles and well beaten after a break at Musselburgh when last seen out in December (tongue-tie on for first time); probably best watched on return from another break. |

Best effort in novice/maiden hurdles for Lucinda Russell came when just under a 9l fifth of ten at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in May but finished well-beaten on handicap debut (2m4f) the following month; still early days but probably best watched on debut for new stable. |

Belied 40-1 odds when placed in Sedgefield novice (2m4f, soft) in the autumn but ran very poorly on last month's handicap debut and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance; cheekpieces refitted. |
