3/1

Winner here in May (from a 4lb lower mark) but hasn't gone on from that, although looked ready for another try at this trip after never getting to the leaders here over shorter last time out. This is a weak enough race for him to be considered.

9/2

Had shown ability in novice hurdles so close third on handicap debut at Uttoxeter last time wasn't totally unexpected, despite 25-1 price tag. This trip is an unknown but has improvement to come and if staying it, has chances here.

Mauna Kea²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cheesman⁽⁵⁾| T: P Gundry| OR: 91

16/1

Can take a hold in his races so small field probably not ideal, but stays this far and is capable off this mark. Two runs this autumn leave a lot to be desired, however, and he needs the rain to stay away as well. Risky.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Farrelly| OR: 89

4/1

On a ridiculously good mark these days and will probably win again at some point this winter, but is showing very little at present and best to wait until showing more signs of life.

Gold Bonne Raine^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 88

11/4

No win in 13 starts but is getting nearer, and recent second at Ffos Las resulted in him getting a 3lb rise. Will stay this trip, and if settling well early on, will have her chance late in the day.

Quinto^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Frost⁽³⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 86

7/1

Mixes hurdles and fences but in truth, doesn't have a lot of success with either and has only won one of his 28 starts. Achieved little when a well beaten second here (fences) last time out and hard to make solid case for, even in a race this weak.

Mr Mulliner^b¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: P Henderson| OR: 73

16/1

Second over C&D from 1lb higher in August offers some hope and trip was clearly too short for him at Plumpton last time out. Might get his own way up front here and with conditions no problem, may be capable of causing a minor upset.

Forecasts

Gold Bonne Raine (11/4), Waikiki Waves (3/1), Love The Leader (4/1), Downloadtheapp (9/2), Snowball (6/1), Quinto (7/1), Mr Mulliner (16/1), Mauna Kea (16/1)

Downloadtheapp will be a big threat if staying this trip, as there's every likelihood of improvement after a solid first handicap effort at Uttoxeter, but MR MULLINER has enough decent efforts at this trip to think to day might be his day, especially as he's likely to get an easy time of it on the front. Gold Bonne Raine is the other one with an obvious chance, although a better effort from Waikiki Waves wouldn't be the biggest surprise either.
