Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Maxwell| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 120

11/1

Is a long time without a win but ran creditably in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (23f, good) last month and has been dropped another 1 lb. Considered.

Form: 4428-43

Hauraki Gulf⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Jordan Nailor| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 119| BF| C

10/1

Good chase runner-up at Newton Abbot (25.8f) in May and posted decent efforts over hurdles this autumn. Disappointed returned to fences at Fontwell last time but could bounce back here.

Form: 4U-2227

Midnightreflection^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 112

18/1

Not proving the easiest to catch right and only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 57-P846

Chris Cool^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 111

16/1

Reliable sort who recorded a solid fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 21 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts once more.

Form: 313-555

Land Genie²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 109

4/5

Fair staying hurdler for the O'Neill stable and he made a promising start for his new yard on the back of wind surgery when a running-on second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 25 days ago. Big shout now his stamina is unlocked more.

Form: 3F6-3P2

Spitalfield²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Benjamin Macey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 107

9/1

Opened his account at Ffos Las (23.9f) in May. Has never been a fluent jumper and fell last (running with credit in fourth) in 25f Hereford handicap 20 days ago. Not discounted.

Form: 364-17F

Barricane^p⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 106

20/1

Scored over 25f at Huntingdon in February but he came in last of 7 here on his return from 8 months off 41 days ago. Usual headgear goes back on now so no surprise if he got back on track.

Form: 14133-7

Grillon De Monty⁵⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: Stephen Allen| OR: 106| BF

125/1

Lightly-raced winning hurdler for Dan Skelton when last seen out in early 2023. Back from 19 months off with his fitness to prove for a new yard.

Form: F2P1/63-

I'm A Starman²¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: H Cobden| T: M G Rimell| OR: 104| C

16/1

Course winner who has been off the track since a solid fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 7 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running.

Form: 7135-35

Sporty Jim^p⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Summers| OR: 98

9/1

Low-mileage 7-y-o who posted his best effort for his current yard when third of 8 in 25f handicap here last month. Possibilities.

Form: PP6P43

Forecasts

Land Genie (4/5), Sporty Jim (9/1), Spitalfield (9/1), Hauraki Gulf (10/1), Jatiluwih (11/1), I'm A Starman (16/1), Chris Cool (16/1), Midnightreflection (18/1), Barricane (20/1), Grillon De Monty (125/1)

LAND GENIE caught the eye on his first run for Dan Skelton when runner-up at Exeter and can go one better with this longer trip very much in his favour. In-form Jatiluwih is feared most off a handy-looking mark, while Barricane, Chris Cool and Sporty Jim also enter calculations.
