Little Windmill^p,t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-3| J: Jack Andrews⁽⁷⁾| T: N B King| OR: 105

7/1

Bidding to complete a hat-trick following two wins this summer. Latest came by 9L in a chase over 3m2f at Newton Abbot (good). Winner over hurdles prior to that and one for the shortlist once more.

Form: 5-64311

Billy Two Tongues^b1,t²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Farrelly| OR: 101| D

33/1

Struggled in two starts since returning from a spell point-to-pointing. More needed if he's to register a fourth Rules success in this contest.

Form: P2P448

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss S L Klug⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 98

Jonagold^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 96| D

20/1

Finished 32L third over an extended 1m7f in a selling hurdle here last month. Struggled at Stratford subsequently and others hold boast more obvious claims.

Form: 315F-39

Sheelbewhatsheelbe^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 95| D

11/8

Justified odds-on favouritism when making a winning debut for this yard at Perth (3m, good) earlier this month. Wore a tongue tie (retained) for the first time that day and is a leading contender despite a 6lb rise in the weights.

Form: 456-531

Coisa Blanco²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 94

7/1

Placed over this trip on soft ground at Worcester in May. Held subsequently and would probably appreciate any softening of the ground.

Form: 85-3P65

Cautorillo⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 91

16/1

Placed second in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (good) last time out. Races off the same mark and is one to note stepping up in distance.

Form: 247-452

Tir Dubh^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: R D Day⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 85

16/1

Promising debut for this stable when finishing 6L third at Bangor (2m7f, good) at the start of the month. Interesting if repeating that effort.

Form: 54-6733

Robin De Broome^p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: B Barr| OR: 82

8/1

Returned to form by finishing 6L second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last time out. Not certain to appreciate this step back up in distance.

Form: 750-802

Beautiful People^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: R Johnson| T: R T Phillips| OR: 81

17/2

20 race maiden finishing 2L second over C&D on good ground here last month. Making her seasonal debut that day and improvement possible.

Form: 83565-2

Rose Tree^p⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: James Bowen| T: J W Mullins| OR: 76| BF

6/1

Maiden after 12 starts including when finishing fourth over 2m6f at Cartmel (good-to-firm) at the end of June. More needed if she's to take this contest.

Form: 396-044

Sheelbewhatsheelbe (11/8), Rose Tree (6/1), Little Windmill (7/1), Coisa Blanco (7/1), Robin De Broome (8/1), Beautiful People (17/2), Walk Waterford (14/1), Tir Dubh (16/1), Cautorillo (16/1), Jonagold (20/1), Love The Leader (25/1), Billy Two Tongues (33/1), Debt To Society (33/1)

SHEELBEWHATSHEELBE looked an improved performer on debut for this yard last time out and she can follow up with a victory in this competitive looking handicap hurdle. Hat-trick seeking Little Windmill is taken to finish runner-up ahead of Cautorillo who is stepping up in distance.
