Off time: 13:15 | Winning time: 5m 44.10s

Christopher Robin^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: R Patrick| T: T Lacey| OR: 100

7/2

Showed benefit of his reappearance to capitalise on a falling mark in 11-runner contest at Southwell in August. Shaped as if still in form at Market Rasen next time, so should be thereabouts.

Form: 706-914

Sissinghurst¹⁹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 95

50/1

Runner-up twice over fences in the summer of 2018, but showed nothing over hurdles for Tom Symonds earlier this year and makes little appeal starting out for another new stable.

Form: 1P22/06-

Layerthorpe¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Jones| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 95| D

7/1

Three wins from 4 runs last season and may have needed the run when third in a handicap at Newton Abbot on completed outing this term. Needs to improve, though.

Form: 7111-B3

Empresario^p,t¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Fergus Gregory| T: J Coulson| OR: 94

100/1

Multiple winner in Ireland but modest form at best for current stable and offered little on the back of a 13-month absence in handicap hurdle at this course 11 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 6/2303-7

Sadlermor^p1,t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Chester Williams⁽³⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 91

12/1

Bumper winner who is yet to offer any encouragement over hurdles, down the field on handicap debut at Southwell last time. Cheekpieces and a step up in trip might help.

Form: 15/850-7

Quivvy Lough⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 91

100/1

Winless in points, but didn't really come up to scratch over hurdles for Olly Murphy and is unlikely to turn it round starting out for a new stable.

Form: 4322P-8

Munstead Moonshine¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Mrs Tracey Barfoot-Saunt| OR: 88

50/1

Poor maiden on the Flat who has showed a bit of aptitude for hurdling and hasn't been handed an overly stiff mark, so can't be dismissed.

Form: 34

For Luck^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 80

18/1

Looks very limited judged on what he's shown in a bumper and 5 runs over hurdles. Others more appealing.

Form: 5/008-65

Grand Enterprise^p,t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Jack Tudor| T: H Hogarth| OR: 79

8/1

Produced his best effort in over a year when 16 lengths second in handicap at Southwell last time. Form has been boosted by the winner since, so not ruled out in a weak affair.

Form: U287-72

Homing Star^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁶⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 77

20/1

Modest Flat winner who has looked very limited over hurdles. Up in trip with cheekpieces fitted but leap of faith required to give her any sort of chance.

Form: 97/855-7

Jessica Rabbit⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 76| BF

5/2

Has returned in good order and found only one too good over C&D 41 days ago. That form looks really solid, so he's a big player in a race that lacks depth.

Form: 7234-52

Havana River⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 75

4/1

Poor maiden handicap hurdler who produced his best effort for a while when runner-up at Southwell 9 days ago but is far from sure to back it up.

Form: 7PP7P-2

Frilly Frock^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: C Brace| T: J Mason| OR: 74

40/1

Irish point winner but no show in 4 novice hurdles. Could do better now handicapping from basement mark.

Form: 21P8-P7

Simply Lucky^p,t²¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 71| CD

40/1

C&D winner last summer but has essentially been out of form subsequently. Set for a struggle after 7 months off.

Form: 56P377-

Franz Klammer^h,t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Alexander Thorne⁽³⁾| T: P A Pritchard| OR: 68

33/1

Limited maiden who makes no appeal from out of the handicap.

Form: 0/6P-430

Stripe Of Honour³¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: A Day| OR: 66

200/1

No form in points or over hurdles and pulled up at Market Rasen on chasing debut 10 months ago. Easy to oppose.

Form: 90P/60P-

Forecasts

Jessica Rabbit (5/2), Christopher Robin (7/2), Havana River (4/1), Layerthorpe (7/1), Grand Enterprise (8/1), Sadlermor (12/1), For Luck (18/1), Homing Star (20/1), Franz Klammer (33/1), Frilly Frock (40/1), Simply Lucky (40/1), Sissinghurst (50/1), Munstead Moonshine (50/1), Quivvy Lough (100/1), Empresario (100/1), Stripe Of Honour (200/1)

JESSICA RABBIT is one of few in good order and her second over C&D 41 days ago looks really solid, so she's a sound proposition in a race where most can't really have a case made for them. Christopher Robin is an obvious threat and Grand Enterprise found only a progressive sort too good last time, so he's worth considering.
