Selected odds by:

Polish^p¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Leah Noreci⁽¹⁰⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 110| D

It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2021 and only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 3P2-FP6

Steps Match^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: D Bourke| OR: 108| D

Resumed winning ways over hurdles at Perth in September but made mistakes before unseated rider a circuit out over C&D 15 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 5813PU

Hostile Hotelier^p,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 107| BF

Dual hurdles winner who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Much respected back over hurdles.

Form: 21P-334

Balally Park^p,t1⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 102

Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler. Only sixth of 9 in 2m4f Perth handicap for his new yard so more is required with headgear back on.

Form: 0457-96

Jeteye^t,v¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 99

Got off the mark at Hexham in June and in good order since, second of 7 over C&D 15 days ago. That form has been franked so he's a player.

Form: 719742

Grass's Jet^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 95

Fair maiden hurdler for Thomas Gallagher. Yet to fire for his current yard, tenth in handicap hurdle at Ayr 18 days ago. Handily weighted but he needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 4574-80

Jimli's Island^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 94| D

Landed a brace of Perth handicaps and a good second of 7 in 23f handicap here 15 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Form: 48-1122

Kajaki^p⁵³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 93

Got back on track when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 53 days ago. In the mix with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 98-7453

You Some Girl^h,t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 84| BF

Posted a good second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (25.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Hood back on and ought to be in the shake-up despite her losing run.

Form: 62-3332

Ebendi^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: A Wilson| OR: 79

Fairly useful Flat performer for Joseph O'Brien. Below that form over hurdles for his current yard and when back on the level at Redcar ten days ago. 5 lb out of the handicap too.

Form: 3843-5F

Forecasts

Jimli's Island (3/1), Jeteye (7/2), Hostile Hotelier (5/1), You Some Girl (5/1), Kajaki (7/1), Grass's Jet (14/1), Polish (14/1), Steps Match (16/1), Balally Park (20/1), Ebendi (25/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for JETEYE who can race off the same mark as when a very good recent C&D second and is now taken to get back to winning ways with that form working out well. Kajaki heads the list of dangers on the back of his resurgent Sedgefield third, with You Some Girl, Hostile Hotelier and Grass's Jet also in the mix.
