Returned from a year off to make a winning yard debut at Southwell (2m) under Brian Hughes last September. Excuses for his 2 defeats since and worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Largely consistent on Flat, including a win at Lingfield 17 days ago. Reached the frame in a couple of C&D maiden hurdles prior to that and interesting now making a quick switch to handicaps in this sphere.

Modest form in a handful of starts over hurdles, including a handicap. Arrives fit from the Flat (won in June) and it is still relatively early days with him in this discipline.

Modest maiden hurdler but has been cut some slack by the handicapper ahead of this first outing for Dan Skelton. Interesting runner, particularly if backed.

Capitalised on a falling mark over 18.5f here in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month. Should remain competitive up 4 lb.

Went close at Kelso last autumn and also a creditable fourth at Market Rasen in May. Has run poorly on the Flat since but may so better back hurdling.

125/1
Modest maiden on the Flat and only minor promise at best in 3 maiden/novice hurdles this summer. Handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance but he's still hard to make a good case for. Blinkers go on for the first time over hurdles.

Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m). Well held in 3 maiden/novice hurdles at the start of the summer but more chance now handicapping. Has had wind surgery. One to note in the betting.

Modest form in bumpers/maiden hurdles but may do better now handicapping.

On the back of a breathing operation he found only one too good on handicap debut at Market Rasen in May. Had an excuse (hampered) there next time and can probably ignore latest AW Flat run.

Can pull hard but placed twice in handicaps this summer (including here). Does need to shrug off a poor run over 18.5f at this course last time, though.

Modest maiden hurdler who hasn't been showing enough to suggest a first success is on the cards here.

Forecasts

Got Grey (6/5), Greenways (5/1), Calshot Spit (11/2), Malina Ocarina (12/1), Go On Ya Goodthing (12/1), Pub Crawl (14/1), Far Away West (14/1), Prairie Diamond (14/1), Buxted Too (18/1), A Shining Moon (22/1), Cellar Club (22/1), Cofficionado (25/1), Shuil Donn (33/1), Deal Em High (33/1), Gladys Eva Jane (125/1), Katstar (125/1)

Verdict

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims a chance is taken that Dan Skelton has worked his magic on GOT GREY. Calshot Spit won the Flat earlier this month and should be up to making an impact on handicap hurdle debut for Sheena West. Like the selection, Go On Ya Goodthing has also been the subject of an interesting trainer change and also makes the shortlist along with last month's course scorer Malina Ocarina.
