Technology^t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 104| BF

9/2

Fair maiden hurdler. Good start for new yard when second in 20.5f Wexford handicap in August. Not in the same form when sixth at Killarney 5 weeks later but the stable's good Hexham record earns him a place on the shortlist.

Form: P/UP4-26

Half Track²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: B S Hughes| T: N W Alexander| OR: 103

15/2

Lightly-raced and poor completion rate (primarily over fences) since landing an Ayr novice hurdle back in December 2021. Latest Carlisle third shows some ability remains. The task now is to build on that.

Form: UUP4/U3

Ambassador^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 102

33/1

Resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m) in July but not in same form since, finishing down the field at Sedgefield 15 days ago. Below par on previous attempt over this trip. Cheekpieces replace a visor.

Form: 461870

Good Bye^b⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: Sara Ender| OR: 102

33/1

Proved a model of consistency during 2022/23 campaign for this yard but he hasn't shown much spark in 3 starts since returning from a 17-month absence in June.

Form: 341/8P7

The Mass Path⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: A Harvey⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 101

10/1

Operating below his best in Ireland of late but this stable's runners always need monitoring very closely in the betting.

Form: 733690

Dreams Of Home^p1¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 100

33/1

Largely struggled for Donald McCain last season and a change of stable hasn't sparked any upturn in his fortunes this autumn. First-time cheekpieces need to make a difference.

Form: 4524-99

One Step Up^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 90

6/1

Placed on 2 of his 3 outings this season, on the latest finishing third of 14 at Ayr (19.5f) with cheekpieces added (retained). Should be thereabouts.

Form: 670-2P3

Agilulf^t1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Theo Gillard| T: A Nicol| OR: 88

14/1

Still to register a victory and pulled up on Sedgefield chase debut 15 days ago. Claims on her Market Rasen third in July but she's inconsistent.

Form: P-7038P

Robert D'ores^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 78

2/1

Still a maiden but he went close over 23f here on his recent return from wind surgery. Big player if in the same form.

Form: U-PP862

Lewa House^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Bruce Lynn| T: C Bissett| OR: 78| CD

11/2

Not the most consistent and on a losing sequence but he probably needed his latest Ayr outing after 6 months off.

Form: 52933-6

Royle Steel¹⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 77

25/1

Won over fences at Sedgefield last October. Has largely struggled in that sphere since (last seen at Cartmel in June) but is dangerously well handicapped if reviving for a break and a return to hurdles.

Form: 1945-68

Forecasts

Robert D'ores (2/1), Technology (9/2), Lewa House (11/2), One Step Up (6/1), Half Track (15/2), The Mass Path (10/1), Agilulf (14/1), Royle Steel (25/1), Dreams Of Home (33/1), Ambassador (33/1), Good Bye (33/1), Park Hind (50/1), Mr Mahler (66/1)

ROBERT D'ORES gets the vote on the back of a fine return from wind surgery over a longer trip here 12 days ago. John McConnell has an excellent 11-24 Hexham record so his Technology has to rate a danger. Last month's Ayr third One Step Up also makes the shortlist, while The Mass Path would also enter the reckoning should the betting vibes be strong.
