Horse silk
Bally Laganv30
Age: 9|  Weight: 12-2| J: Tabitha Worsley(5)| T: R Dickin| OR:  101| D
8/1
Won three successive races last season and showed his current handicap mark is manageable when second of nine at Warwick last month. Underfoot conditions should suit.
2
Horse silk
Indy Island23
Age: 8|  Weight: 12-2| J: Jordan Nailor(7)| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  101
5/1
Winning hurdler in Ireland whose first run for her current trainer saw her finish fourth of 11 in a Southwell handicap chase. Her stamina seemed to run out over 3m that day and this return to shorter off 3lb lower should see her be competitive.
3
Horse silk
Grand Coureurp122
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: Chester Williams(5)| T: Nick Williams| OR:  97
7/1
Maiden hurdler who made his chasing debut at Bangor earlier this month where he was struggling from a long way out before finishing last of the 10 finishers. Down 4lb, but needs to show big improvement in first-time cheekpieces.

Tripticop159
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-12| J: Mr J Smith-Maxwell(7)| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR:  97| D
14/1
Not getting any younger, but showed the fire still burns when just getting home in front at Uttoxeter last time. A 6lb rise looks a bit harsh at this stage of his racing career.
5
Horse silk
Rakaia Rosa9
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: D L Williams| OR:  95| D
12/1
Well beaten on her most recent outings over fences, but her handicap mark has dropped to 4lb lower than when winning a three-runner contest at Towcester in May. Hard to fancy in current vein of form, though.
6
Horse silk
Monderonp,t133
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-7| J: Lily Pinchin(7)| T: F O'Brien| OR:  92
8/1
Has been given a break since suffering heavy defeats in a hurdle and a chase in the summer. Remains a maiden after seven starts over fences and faces a stiff test,
7
Horse silk

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: Miss A Stirling(3)| T: A Phillips| OR:  89
4/1
Landed a Worcester handicap chase in May and although pulled up and well held on two subsequent starts, he is able to compete off a mark only 1lb higher than when last successful. Has claims if bouncing back.
8
Horse silk
Go On Henryp,t84
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-3| J: Mr Ed Bailey(7)| T: M Sheppard| OR:  88
7/1
Two runs at Stratford following a long absence saw him finish third and 4th, beaten a long way on the latter occasion. Has been dropped 2lb, but he needs to show extra before being considered a betting proposition.
9
Horse silk
Show's Overt,v132
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Jodie Hughes(3)| T: Tim Vaughan| OR:  86| C
7/1
Won a novices' handicap chase at this track in November, but was raised in the weights and was well held on three subsequent starts. Returns to action after a break and the market is likely to be the best guide to his chance.
10
Horse silk
Accessallareasp23
Age: 12|  Weight: 11-1| J: Mr James Jeavons(7)| T: S-J Davies| OR:  86| D
25/1
Has reached the veteran stage, but was still able to win a handicap at Newton Abbot in August. Well held in two starts since then and looks in the handicapper's grip for the time being.

Forecasts

Lined With Silver (4/1), Indy Island (5/1), Go On Henry (7/1), Grand Coureur (7/1), Show's Over (7/1), Bally Lagan (8/1), Monderon (8/1), Rakaia Rosa (12/1), Triptico (14/1), Accessallareas (25/1)

Verdict

Any market support for Show's Over should be noted, while Lined With Silver has prospects on the form he showed when winning at Worcester in May. Triptico and Indy Island enter calculations, but this may be best left to top-weight BALLY LAGAN, who ran a sound race when runner-up at Warwick last time and may be able to cope with his career-high handicap mark.
  1. Bally Lagan
  2. Indy Island
  3. Lined With Silver
