Tel'art¹²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-3| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 102

9/4

Making his handicap debut when pulling up over an extended 2m4f on good ground here in May. Worth a check in the market on return from a break.

Form: 1996-3P

Oldabbey Bridge^b²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J McGrath| T: C Hobson| OR: 97| D

6/1

Ran well to finish fifth in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good) just under a month ago. Drop in trip looks likely to suit.

Form: 4-50175

Baron Von Chill²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 96

17/2

Good neck second in a handicap hurdle over this trip at Bangor (good) on his penultimate start. Decent effort despite finishing ninth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) subsequently.

Form: P9-8729

Snowy Oscar²⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: L P Aspell| T: N J Gifford| OR: 91WS

8/1

Well beaten 12th in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Lingfield (good-to-soft) in January. Market support would be notable down in trip on first start since wind surgery.

Form: F48/P50-

Spectaculis^v1³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Dave Crosse| T: D P Quinn| OR: 89

80/1

Maiden after six starts and finished well beaten in a 1m4f novice race on the Flat at Wolverhampton in August. Visor tried for the first time on handicap debut.

Form: 408-

Bentons Lad^p¹⁹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁵⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 85| D

12/1

Dual hurdles winner most recently off a mark 12lb higher than he races off here at Southwell (good) over an extended 2m4f in May last year. Well beaten in two starts this campaign however.

Form: 706580-

Angel Of The North^b⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: R Dickin| OR: 83

40/1

Beaten 21L in a 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (good) on her most recent hurdles start. Struggled on the Flat since and is probably best watched at present.

Form: 0-1S340

Plenty Of Butty²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: R P McLernon| T: M Scudamore| OR: 77

6/1

Finished fourth, beaten 6¼L in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m4f at Southwell (good) last time out. Of interest following a 2lb drop in the weights.

Form: PP-B784

Infiniti^t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: R Johnson| T: B Leavy| OR: 76| BF

7/2

Twice a winner on the Flat and finished a good second over 2m at Uttoxeter (good) in a handicap hurdle in July. Interesting having finished a decent sixth at Worcester (2m, good) in first time blinkers (absent here) the following month.

Form: P2-2426

Cool Artist^b1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 76

50/1

Well held sixth in a seven runner 2m4f handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (good) in August and pulled up in first time cheekpieces and tongue tie (both absent here) subsequently. Blinkers tried for the first time.

Form: 44-056P

Forecasts

Tel'art (9/4), Infiniti (7/2), Oldabbey Bridge (6/1), Plenty Of Butty (6/1), Snowy Oscar (8/1), Baron Von Chill (17/2), Bentons Lad (12/1), Angel Of The North (40/1), Cool Artist (50/1), Spectaculis (80/1)

OLDABBEY BRIDGE looks likely to appreciate the drop in distance here and he can record his second hurdles victory by taking the first division of this handicap event. Second place can go to the mare Infiniti who has a top jockey in the saddle having been running well during the summer while third can go the way of Plenty Of Butty who wasn't beaten far at Southwell on his most recent outing.
