50/1
Lightly raced and went the wrong way for Gordon Elliott. Little impact initially for new stable but did at least show he retains a good deal of his ability (fitted with a visor) when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f) 29 days ago. Needs to build on that in refitted cheekpieces.

9/2
Point winner who continued theme of race-by progress in handicaps when gaining third success at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in June. Saddle slipped after 4 out when pulled up at Uttoxeter (23.3f) latest and he remains one to be interested in.

Lightly-raced 6-y-o who, despite racing lazily, stepped up on his reappearance run (with cheekpieces fitted) when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good) 24 days ago. Eased 2 lb ahead of this and return to this longer trip could help.

6/1
Fair maiden hurdler who made the perfect start over fences when seeing off 6 rivals at Hereford (21f, good) in November. Mixed bag since but did better in jumping department when third back over hurdles at Uttoxeter (23.3f) 24 days ago. Possibilities.

10/1
3-time winner over hurdles (at up to 21.7f) who disappointed on the back of 7 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good) in May, pulled up 2 out. Needs to leave that in her wake back from 85 days off.

12/1
Tasted success twice in mares' contests during first half of last year. Efforts mixed thereafter but much more like it when third of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (24.4f) when last seen in December. Interesting if support comes for her back from 8 months off with a tongue tie fitted.

8/1
Fair hurdler who recorded a trio of encouraging efforts since wind surgery, latterly at Newbury (24.2f) in January. Disappointed after 6 months off at Uttoxeter 24 days ago but possible that run will have brought her on.

13/2
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner during 2022/23. Very little to shout about more recently but more positive signs from much reduced mark when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f) 24 days ago. Now his task is to build on that.

9/2
Flat/hurdles winner (successful here) for this yard who hasn't figured in face of some fairly stern assignments in former sphere in recent months. Returns to this sphere from career-low mark however, and he hasn't had much racing at this sort of trip. Worth a look.

9/1
Didn't cut much ice in pair of chase tries but blinkers had desired effect when successful in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f) in June. Some way below best at Perth 5 weeks ago though and visor now the headgear of choice.

10/1
Southwell maiden winner last year and easily his best effort since when runner-up over 20f here in June. However, he's been below his best in pair of starts since and bounce back called for returned to this longer trip.

Forecasts

Oceanline (9/2), Townhill (9/2), School Days Over (6/1), Stans The Man (13/2), Midnight Gold (7/1), Kazontherazz (8/1), Jeteye (9/1), Faded Fantasy (10/1), Alexandra Romanov (10/1), Tzarmix (11/1), Pure Theatre (12/1), Famous Last Word (20/1), Prince De Juilley (25/1), Calagogo (50/1)

Verdict

MIDNIGHT GOLD was below her best at Fontwell in May but had previously shaped well when runner-up behind one on an upward curve at Warwick earlier that month. Unexposed at this sort of trip, she's been given a break ahead of this and it would come as no surprise to see a better showing. Townhill had excuses latest and he's a player, with Oceanline another to bear in mind returned to this discipline.
