Magic Seven²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: Jonjo & A O'Neill| OR: 112| BF

Scored a couple of times at Hereford last season but essentially disappointing in handicaps since. Something to prove.

Form: 1FP-075

Centara^h¹⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 111WS

9/4 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good), running on. Off 6 months. Remains with the scope for better based on bumper form.

Form: P/41561-

King Of The Road¹⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 110| BF| D

Latest win in hurdle at Market Rasen in April. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, good, 3/1). Off 6 months. In-form yard should have him tuned up and he may be able to resume progress.

Form: 78911-4

Sergeant²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 110| CD

Resumed winning ways in no uncertain terms at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in August but next effort was tame and he refused to race at Wincanton last time, so seemingly going the wrong way in terms of temperament.

Form: 54/215R

Zodiac Star³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A King| OR: 108

Winner in hurdle at Stratford in July. 8/1, good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good) 30 days ago, staying on well. Not fully exposed and still seems to be getting better.

Form: 66142

Iris Des Issards²²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: K Woollacott| OR: 105

Ex-pointer who is still unexposed as a hurdler and took a forward step when runner-up at Taunton 7 months ago. Will probably need this first outing since, though.

Form: 3/42P52-

I Have A Voice^p²⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 105WS

Won twice in juvenile hurdles last season but has been some way below that level in handicaps and is likely to need this return. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 91U/707-

Impecunious¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryan Carver| T: C J Down| OR: 104

Has shown a fair level of form at best over hurdles but doesn't look the most straightforward and recent handicap debut was underwhelming. Others make more appeal.

Form: 285-237

Sunninghill³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 104

Fair form when making the frame in AW minor events on Flat in 2022 and showed something to work on both starts over hurdles, notably when third at Uttoxeter a month ago. Worth a chance to make a winning handicap debut.

Form: 43

Just Go For It^t¹⁸⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Houlihan| T: K Bishop| OR: 103

At the veteran stage and wasn't at her best when last seen 6 months ago. Has left Kevin Bishop and rejoined form yard, but there's a fair bit to prove.

Form: 54130-6

Final Entry^p⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D Pipe| OR: 104| BF| D

Made a winning start over hurdles in a juvenile at Newton Abbot in July and was back on track when third there a couple of months ago. Interesting handicap debutant getting chunks of weight for age.

Form: 13

Alkhattaaf⁵¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 88

Just modest form at best over hurdles and, while still unexposed, he's hard to make a strong case for returning from such a lengthy absence.

Form: 642/68-

Pooroldmackley²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 84

Failed to complete both starts in points and has offered little so far over hurdles. Needs to up his game now switched to handicaps.

Form: FP-799

Forecasts

Centara (11/4), Sunninghill (7/2), King Of The Road (5/1), Zodiac Star (8/1), Magic Seven (10/1), Iris Des Issards (10/1), Final Entry (10/1), Sergeant (16/1), Pooroldmackley (20/1), Impecunious (25/1), I Have A Voice (33/1), Alkhattaaf (33/1), Just Go For It (50/1)

SUNNINGHILL was fair on the Flat and showed the benefit of his hurdling debut when an encouraging third in a novice at Uttoxeter last time, so he's worth a chance to make a successful early switch to handicaps from a potentially favourable mark. Juvenile Final Entry is an obvious threat and Centara is worthy of interest.
