Misdflight^p⁷¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 92| D

8/1

Hard to win with, just the one victory in 33 starts and yet to score over fences but stays well and has ability. First start for new yard, gets a switch of headgear and if a change of scenery has bucked his ideas up, has chances in a very weak race.

Form: 423-33P

Way Of The World³⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 78| BF| D

11/8

Just the one win in 26 starts, that coming at this trip on heavy ground a couple of seasons back, so conditions fine. Not seen out for almost a year but has gone okay fresh, and is generally consistent, so every chance of taking a medal home.

Grand Coureur^b,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Ross Turner⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 74

2/1

Runner-up in a couple of weak handicaps this summer but not so good on last two starts and addition of tongue-tie (on again here) produced no better at Uttoxeter last time. Reverts to fences but on balance, others make more appeal.

Form: 4-P2259

Sidsteel^t¹⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 73

9/1

Yet to win in 11 starts but fairly lightly raced for one his age, and on more than one occasion has attracted market support. Has a couple of reasonable hurdles efforts here to his name, and capable of the surprise if jumping fluently today.

Form: 54720/7-

Coolanure^t1²²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: R Patrick| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 67

5/1

Still a maiden after 20 starts and looks modest but the angle might be that she's having her first start for a new yard, who could rejuvenate her a little. This is weak enough to consider her, although she's clearly risky.

Forecasts

Way Of The World (11/8), Grand Coureur (2/1), Heavenly Promise (7/2), Coolanure (5/1), Misdflight (8/1), Sidsteel (9/1)

This is as weak a race as you will find, with five of the six rated lower than 80. As such, that gives MisdflightSIDSTEEL might be the one to take advantage - he should be up to jumping a fence and might take these start to finish if he can put in a clear round. In a race where nothing can be discounted, Coolanure could improve for the change of scenery too.
