5/1

Didn't show much when returning from 11 months off on the Flat in May but in good heart back hurdling over this C&D the last twice, landing a 6-runner handicap on soft ground prior to going close in another on good last month. Up a total of 9 lb but likely to be in the mix once again.

4/1

Fair on the Flat at up to 14.5f for Hugo Palmer and made the frame in couple of 2m novice events at Worcester switched to hurdles last month. Very much the type to up his game now pitched into a handicap in this sphere and it'll be interesting to see if there's confidence behind him in the betting.

18/1

Well below his best on the Flat when last seen at Galway back in July 2021 and hasn't made much of an impact in 8 starts over hurdles to date.

10/3

Pulled up both starts in hunters for Paul King but showed more when third back hurdling on first start since rejoining this yard at Huntingdon in May. Not in the same form over fences next time, and bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good, 6/1) at Worcester on Monday.

10/3

Scored at Southwell in November 2022. Sparingly campaigned and has largely struggled since, though his latest third off this reduced mark at Stratford (18.7f, good) represented a step back in the right direction. Place possibilities.

8/1

Opened account over C&D last summer but looked badly in need of run, on first start since, when last of 13 at Cartmel at the end of May. Entitled to strip fitter here and booking of Brian Hughes can only be a good thing but one or two of these make more appeal.

13/2

Poor form in bumpers and over hurdles thus far, and she showed no immediate benefit of a wind op when well held at Southwell last month.

Forecasts

Dreaming Diamond (10/3), Razzo Italiano (10/3), Double Oban (4/1), Sergeant (9/2), Chef De Troupe (5/1), Bella Madonna (13/2), George Mallory (8/1), Harry Gulliver (8/1), Andapa (8/1), King And Queen (18/1), Baikal (20/1), Gladys Eva Jane (100/1)

Flat-winner DOUBLE OBAN is taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. The 4-y-o showed promise in back-to-back novice events at Worcester and makes his handicap debut over hurdles on what could turn out to be a handy mark. Andapa is interesting with her reappearance spin at Plumpton under her belt (and with Harry Cobden booked), while Harry Gulliver's best days are surely still ahead of him and he also merits respect, along with Chef de Troupe and Sergeant.
