High Up In The Air²⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Cheesman⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 101

16/1

Lightly-raced gelding who is still a maiden after three starts under Rules. He was a long way off the winner at Fontwell (2m3f) last time out. Set for handicap debut here so keep an eye out for any strong market confidence.

Form: 2695-

O'Rahilly^h¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 99

7/1

Remains a maiden after four starts under Rules, however, he made a big improvement on his handicap debut last time to finish fourth of 12 at this course over 2m. Drops down 1lb and is up in trip. One to consider.

Form: 7P/P4-74

Delannoy^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 97

33/1

A winner on the Flat but has yet to prevail in four attempts over hurdles. His last outing was in a 2m contest at this track where he was well held in seventh place of 12. Needs to improve to be in the mix.

Form: 454/7

We'llcwhathappens²³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: L P Aspell| T: R Rowe| OR: 96

10/1

A point-to-point winner who showed some promise over this C&D on her debut under Rules. Has struggled for form since then in four appearances. She was seventh of 10 on her latest effort at Taunton (3m). Down in trip again. Others are preferred.

Form: 1/34597-

Kenny George²³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 95

14/1

Remains a maiden after nine starts in his career, with his latest three appearances coming over hurdles where he has failed to make an impression. Set for handicap debut now so things may get easier. Can't discount.

Form: 843-

Pete's Choice^p²⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: James Best| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 93WS

20/1

Has hit the frame on a couple of occasions over hurdles but he is still a maiden. His latest effort came over fences where he was last of six here (2m3½f). Has had wind sugary since. Best to watch for now.

Adrakhan^b1⁶⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: J E Moore| T: J & S Best| OR: 91

20/1

Was a winner in a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m½f) very early into his career but then switched to the Flat. Has been well held on his two hurdles appearances this year. Blinkers are on for the first time. Others appeal more.

Form: F589/75

Hab Sab^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Tom Cannon| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 79

16/1

Has yet to score in 12 outings. Made his seasonal reappearance at this track where he was ninth of 12 over the 2m trip. Stepping back up in distance now. There are still question marks about his stamina.

Form: 98P/P3-9

Talkingpicturestv³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 77

9/2

Broke her maiden over hurdles at Stratford (2m6f) back in June but has not followed up since. She did come close to success last time at Huntingdon (2m3½f) though as she was second of 10. Gone up just 2lb. Leading contender.

Form: 3-31452

Two Sams²⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Scott| OR: 77

11/8

Irish point-to-point winner who has struggled since campaigning under Rules. He was seventh of 14 last time at Bangor over 3m. Set for his first appearance for his new yard here where he is down in trip again. Best to watch.

Form: P05PP7-

Mo Tottie^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 69

9/1

Has shown very little in her six outings so far. She returned to action last month at Ffos Las (3m) where she was sixth of nine. Has been eased 3lb and is down in distance here. Others appeal more.

Form: 4-UU776

Forecasts

Two Sams (11/8), Talkingpicturestv (9/2), O'Rahilly (7/1), Mo Tottie (9/1), We'llcwhathappens (10/1), Kenny George (14/1), High Up In The Air (16/1), Hab Sab (16/1), Adrakhan (20/1), Pete's Choice (20/1), Delannoy (33/1)

TALKINGPICTURESTV was very close to her second success last time out at Huntingdon but she can make up for that near miss here over this slightly longer trip. O'Rahilly can improve for this step up in distance on his second handicap appearance to finish in the frame for the first time in his career, while Kenny George should do better now he is in handicap company so include in your calculations.
