40/1
Former smart Flat performer who is handicapped on his best form of 2015 when handled by John Ferguson. Tasted success in claimers for Jamie Osborne this year but returns to hurdling after refusing to race last time.

Bistouri D'honorep,h26
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-9| J: Bryony Frost(5)| T: P F Nicholls| OR:  117| C
3/1
Made hard work of landing a lady amateurs race last month in new headgear. Needs to find more in a better contest and off 4lb higher, but rider is 10-20 for the yard.

What A Scorcher9
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: Robert Williams(3)| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR:  114| C| D
5/1
Has one win and two seconds from three starts here. Remains 4lb higher than her last success but arrives on the back of two good runs on the Flat. Could run into a place at a good price at the very least.

Theoh21
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR:  112
11/10
Unbeaten for this yard and beat a well handicapped rival last time. A 9lb rise may be within his scope and stable are in form.
5
Horse silk
Towering28
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Lewis Gordon(7)| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR:  112
16/1
Winner of a Hexham seller and beaten in similar grade there last time. Unreliable sort these days and meeting some in form types who look far more likely.
6
Horse silk
Gone Platinumt44
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: D A Rees| OR:  112
14/1
Sole career victory was in a point-to -point in 2014. Will appreciate the return to shorter and the recent rain so no forlorn hope.
7
Horse silk
Treasure The Ridgeb19
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-0| J: J McGrath| T: M Hill| OR:  108
10/1
Fair stayer on the Flat and has looked short of pace lately over hurdles. Blinkers replace cheekpieces and looks in need of further.
10
Horse silk
Panis Angelicus31
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-3| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR:  97
20/1
Represents a trainer/jockey combination who are 6-17 around here. Lightly raced of late and clearly has issues that need to be seen to have been resolved.

Forecasts

Theo (11/10), Bistouri D'honore (3/1), What A Scorcher (5/1), Treasure The Ridge (10/1), Gone Platinum (14/1), Towering (16/1), Scorpion Star (16/1), Panis Angelicus (20/1), Gannicus (20/1), Retrieve (40/1)

Verdict

Theo and Bistouri D'honore arrive in good form and with solid claims of being able to defy their current marks. Both have gone well off higher in the past and their yards are in form. For the selection we like WHAT A SCORCHER who is yet to run a bad race here and comes in form from the Flat. The mare handles any going and looks well enough treated to suggest she will run a good race at attractive odds.
  1. What A Scorcher
  2. Theo
  3. Bistouri D'honore
