Beneficial Joe^h⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 121| D

7/1

Reverted to hurdling following two disastrous chases here and at Worcester. Beaten 49L in Stratford hurdle last time out and this looks a tall order from top weight.

Form: 4-2FF35

Muthabir¹³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ian Popham| T: R T Phillips| OR: 119

14/1

Won a Taunton handicap hurlde off a 4lb lower mark in April. Disappointed last time out and others preferred returning from a break.

Form: 164514-

After Eight Sivola⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Chester Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Nick Williams| OR: 117

10/1

Now 3lb lower than last hurdle win and has rock-solid figures on good ground and in this grade. One not to be discounted.

Form: 6PP4-46

Waltz Darling^p²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: A Nicol| T: G Boanas| OR: 114

7/1

Hit the frame on two occasions in March at the end of last season over this trip. Trainer beginning to find her feet since stepping in to the shoes of Keith Reveley.

Form: 7-76932

Souriyan^v²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 112

5/1

Winner of one of his 10 hurdle starts and well beaten in his last half-dozen contests. Requires a chunk of improvement in first-time visor to take a hand in this.

Form: 0/66465-

Rollo's Reflection^b1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁷⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 110

25/1

Moderate maiden hurdler pulled up on handicap debut when tailed off at Worcester last month. Very little to be positive about in first-time blinkers.

Form: 22/P-25P

Wolftrap^h¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: L Heard| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 110

11/2

Has put in some second-rate performances over the summer well beaten in his last five starts and others readily preferred.

Form: 5-55574

Our Folly²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: W S Kittow| OR: 109| CD

10/1

C&D winner with good ground the key to his much better performances. Now back down to a mark he can be dangerous from and not one to dismiss lightly given he won this race last term.

Form: 14-01P6

Royale Django⁸⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 107| D

10/1

Missed ten months before being pulled-up at Exeter in May. Tailed off when beaten 115L here in June over 2m7½f. Will need to improve significantly to take a hand in this.

Form: F3/5F-P5

Yur Next^t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Farrelly| OR: 107

33/1

Well beaten and no impression in three starts since returning from a break. Looks a tall order on form shown and others make more appeal.

Form: 121-998

Iniesta^p1⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: David Bass| T: F O'Brien| OR: 106

5/1

Lightly raced gelding who showed significant improvement on a return to hurdling following a Flat campaign over the summer. Improvement expected with first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 44739/2

Prince Kup^p⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: James Davies| T: L Hurley| OR: 102

50/1

Consistent, if you wish to call a string of eighth-placed efforts consistent, but sadly that only goes to highlight that his new yard haven't yet found the key to him.

Form: 5888-88

Forecasts

Souriyan (5/1), Iniesta (5/1), Wolftrap (11/2), Byron Blue (13/2), Beneficial Joe (7/1), Waltz Darling (7/1), Royale Django (10/1), Our Folly (10/1), After Eight Sivola (10/1), Muthabir (14/1), Maguire's Glen (25/1), Rollo's Reflection (25/1), Yur Next (33/1), Prince Kup (50/1)

Byron Blue will possibly make the early running here with Yur Next to help make the pace a good one. After Eight Sivola who is now 3lb lower than last hurdle win and has rock-solid figures on good ground and Our Folly another who will appreciate the good ground can battle for the places, but the selection is INIESTA who impressed last time out and can improve with the help of first-time cheekpieces.
