Did not emerge from the rear division over C&D last month and is now 0-9 over hurdles but he made a quite encouraging stable debut when keeping-on fourth here (2m2f, good) in May and may yet build on that. |

11st 8lb |
Started out in bumpers; 10-1 for handicap debut over C&D a month ago, he was well off the pace before boxing on for second; up 4lb and without a 3lb claimer this time, but on the shortlist. |

Early promise in good-ground bumpers, including on this track; just minor form since switched to hurdles in November but handicaps are likely to prove more fruitful; one to bear in mind. |

11st 12lb |
Had been vulnerable in handicaps this year but she ran better at Stratford two starts ago and there was nothing wrong with her attitude when a narrow winner over C&D (good) in June; has gone back up 4lb but in good heart and likely to go well. |

10st 7lb |
About 17l behind Belgarum when third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) on recent chasing debut but significant positives can be drawn from that performance and he's 11lb better off with that rival here; contender if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

Bumper winner; 0-7 over hurdles but returned from long absence with two pretty good efforts this season (2m/2m2f) and it will be interesting to see how he fares over this new trip on chasing debut. |

Tailed off on handicap debut in January but fared better at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) last month, where she emerged from the pack to finish best of the rest behind the runaway winner; might have more to offer if today's longer trip suits. |

Unexposed after only four runs but she was tailed off on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in January and could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

Did well to be beaten 10l at Worcester (2m4f handicap debut; good) given he refused to settle and perhaps the ground was too soft at Uttoxeter; remains of interest. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Happier for the step up to 2m4f on last month's Worcester handicap debut (good), keeping on late despite initial refusal to settle; grounds to expect better and 2lb drop is most welcome; remains of interest. |

6th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-23 over hurdles but went very close on stable debut here (2m4f, soft) in July and also ran well when third (albeit well held) at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August; drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted here; no surprise if he comes good for Olly Murphy soon. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-22 over hurdles but very nearly made a winning stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) six weeks ago and will be fine on the forecast faster ground here; one to consider. |
4/1 |
2nd 13 |
17th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

0-23 but surely has a race in him, and did record a respectable C&D third (soft) last November; wind surgery since claimed for £6,000 from David Thompson and starts life for Olly Murphy back on a career-low mark. |

Verdict
Konigin Isabella might use her recent C&D success as a springboard but preference is for INVICTUS DE BRION, who returned from a long layoff with a pleasing fourth at Worcester last month and could still have a better run in him if the addition of cheekpieces has a positive effect. Bushmill Boy is 0-21 over hurdles but still looks interesting on his debut for Olly Murphy, while handicap debutant Get The Value may yet deliver on his bumper promise.[Chris Wilson]
