Aussie Breeze³⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

14/1

Modest maiden stayer on the Flat. Not seen for a year and needs to step it up a notch now hurdling on return (some experience of the game in her family).

Form:

Dr Jane

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: R Walford

40/1

Dr Massini mare. Sister to useful chaser Mr Medic. Dam 19f hurdle winner at this track. Makes a belated debut but certainly bred for the job.

Jungle Prose¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

11/1

Won Warwick bumper under this rider on return last month, having the run of the race. Should have a future over obstacles (from the family of Oscar Whisky).

Form: 646-1

Misstree Song^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| BF

2/1

Point winner who showed fair form in bumpers and would have won similar event over hurdles at Newton Abbot last month if standing up, in command when falling last. Can gain compensation.

Form: 429-22F

Sazerak¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Jamie Snowden

100/1

Poor in bumpers despite attracting support on both occasions and beaten a fair way out sent hurdling at Newton Abbot (race that Misstree Song fell in) 3 weeks ago.

Form: 7-28

Secret Palace⁸⁰⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: Miss G Haywood

250/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for Rae Guest in 2015 and showed little in 2 Newton Abbot maiden hurdles after a long time off in July 2018. Off again since.

Form: 6P/

Waterlefe Getaway³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington

12/1

Modest form in bumpers this summer. Related to hurdles winners (some temperament in the family) and could do better now tackling obstacles for in-form yard.

Form: 26

Whoopsey⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly

18/1

Has shown a bit in bumpers/2 mares' novice hurdles, albeit again not jumping too well on recent return at Bangor.

Form: 40/5-7

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: M McGrath| OR: 107| D

4/5

Dual bumper winner (including at listed level) and ran best race over hurdles on return last month when second at Fontwell (17.7f), conceding first run. Big player here.

Who What When (4/5), Misstree Song (2/1), Jungle Prose (11/1), Waterlefe Getaway (12/1), Aussie Breeze (14/1), Simple Words (14/1), Whoopsey (18/1), Dr Jane (40/1), Sazerak (100/1), Secret Palace (250/1)

There had been a few worrying moments with MISSTREE SONG before her last-flight exit at Newton Abbot (had wandered before some jumps), but she'd looked set to win all the same at that point and can gain compensation in a rather thin maiden if none the worse. Who What When is the clear danger after her good Fontwell return. Dr Jane might make her presence felt on her belated debut.
