11/4

Good record fresh (improved again to win 2m Chepstow handicap on reappearance last season) and back to form when fourth at Warwick (21f) when last seen in May. Dropped 2 lb for return and one to consider.

Form: 3/139P-4

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 115

3/1

Back in good form having tumbled in the weights, taking a couple of Worcester handicaps, although he would have had to settle for second last time had the runner-up not made a howler 2 out. 7 lb rise demands more now.

Form: 6P6P-11

Faithfulflyer^t⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 113| CD

11/2

Has improved this season, winning C&D and Uttoxeter contests and running respectably in a useful handicap at Market Rasen 11 weeks ago. Back down in grade returning from a break and has a pretty good record here.

Form: 50-1155

Harper Valley¹⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 113

9/2

Did well last season, notching up a third success at Catterick (19.3f) in February. Good run here fitted with cheekpieces when last seen and could have more to give this term.

Form: 43130-5

Sea Grey^b1³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 110

8/1

Fairly useful performer on the Flat, won twice in the summer with both runs since best excused. Before that he'd become disappointing in this sphere following a Catterick maiden hurdle victory. Blinkers tried back up in trip.

Form: 2159-U7

Famous Liss¹¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 110

6/1

Finished alone in an Irish point and progressive form in 2m novice hurdles earlier this season, edged out close home at Hexham latest start in June. Should have more to offer again now handicapping up in trip.

Form: U21-842

The Navigator⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 97| BF| CD

10/1

C&D winner who struck at Cartmel (17f) in the summer but well beaten there last time. Still on a favourable mark but he'll find easier opportunities.

Form: 3R60-19

Forecasts

Oceanline (11/4), Faithfulflyer (9/2), Famous Liss (5/1), Harper Valley (6/1), Shared (6/1), The Navigator (7/1), Sea Grey (7/1)

SHARED has won first time up for the last 2 seasons and can repeat the feat here. He ran well in a stronger event at Warwick when last seen in May and has untapped potential over this sort of trip. Famous Liss is potentially a big improver now handicapping up in distance and is strongly respected on his return, while Faithfulflyer should go well again here.
