5 yo Filly

OR: 95

2-6 for new stable since the spring; looked in particularly good nick when sauntering clear on run-in at Perth (2m, good) nine days ago and needs to be taken very seriously under 7lb penalty here (due to go up 8lb).

Last year's winner (from 7lb lower); form figures here (2m-2m4f) this year read 544343; finished in front of two of these rivals (Try Them and Nobotheratall) when a keeping-on third to Inappropriate over C&D latest; eased 1lb, and is back on her last winning mark (Hexham).

Form & Verdict
Not an instant success over hurdles last season but was on the upgrade in the spring, making all in good-ground novice events at Carlisle (2m1f) and Kelso (2m); makes handicap debut after 164-day absence but could easily have more improvement to come this term.

Perhaps needed the run last time when back from a layoff; normally quite a consistent sort, as his second-place finishes in May attest, and he has winning form (albeit during brief spell over fences) at Sedgefield; could go well.

Won over fences in February and was in good form over hurdles when last seen in May, finishing second over C&D and at Kelso (also 2m, good); won't be far away if fully tuned up after his break.

J: Danny McMenamin

C&D winner last spring; back from a winning spell over fences with a very good second of six in 2m Hexham handicap hurdle 22 days ago; another bold showing is on the cards nudged up 1lb with that form having been well advertised since.

OR: 112

Form & Verdict
Won four-runner chase here (1m7f, good) in first-time blinkers in June but has regressed and become inconsistent under all codes; tailed off on the Flat in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight ago and not an easy one to predict on this return to hurdling; blinkers back on.

6 yo Mare

OR: 112

Form & Verdict
Has very mixed hurdling record for three different stables but came good for this one at first attempt, at Bangor (2m3f, good) in July, and rebounded from poor run with pretty good fourth at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month; has a fighting chance here if on another going day.
