Zulu^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: Miss G Haywood| OR: 102

33/1

Modest form at best on Flat/over hurdles. Needs to raise his game making handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: P/355-6

Mystic Court^h¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 100

6/1

Fair hurdler who was back to form when second in a handicap at Newton Abbot 10 days ago. Overall profile not convincing but he hasn't had much racing for current stable.

Form: P0-6PP2

Alfie's Angel¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 97

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles but (40/1) recorded good second of 16 in handicap at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 19 days ago. Up 2 lb but still firmly in the mix.

Form: U/6P-42

Rowley Park⁵¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: James Best| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 95

22/1

Modest hurdler who was runner-up at Wincanton on handicap debut 17 months ago but hasn't been seen since. Hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 06566/2-

Chief Brody^p³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 94

9/2

Only one win from 26 runs, and below form again when eighth in a handicap at Newton Abbot 37 days ago. Hard to fancy despite much-reduced mark.

Form: 8/44-668

Volturnus⁴⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 90

8/1

Fair on the Flat (stays 2m) and he performed better than previously in this sphere without threatening at Ffos Las in July (on yard debut). Possesses scope to do better in handicaps.

Form: 96/4-

Cawthorne^h,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 86

9/2

Point winner who, having disappointed over fences, benefited from a return to hurdling when scoring cosily in a handicap at Market Rasen 12 days ago. Obvious claims if in the same form.

Form: P-7FPF1

Clonmonarch^v1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 84

11/1

Yet to achieve much over hurdles including when ninth at Perth on handicap debut. Needs visor to bring about marked improvement.

Form: 4P690-9

Global Wonder²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: D A Jacob| T: J & S Best| OR: 82

9/2

Belatedly showed some form in this sphere when a staying-on third in a handicap at Uttoxeter 29 days ago. Scope for further progress based on Flat exploits, so warrants respect.

Form: 07099-3

Ragamuffin^t1⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 72WS

9/1

Easy point winner who has shown next to nothing over hurdles to this point but still warrants a market check returning from a short break in a tongue strap.

Form: 108-00

Non-Runners

Krujers Girl³²

Weight: 11-3| Age: 8

Forecasts

Chief Brody (9/2), Cawthorne (9/2), Global Wonder (9/2), Mystic Court (6/1), Volturnus (8/1), Ragamuffin (9/1), Alfie's Angel (10/1), Clonmonarch (11/1), Serveontime (16/1), Krujers Girl (20/1), Rowley Park (22/1), Zulu (33/1)

MYSTIC COURT returned to form on just his second outing for Brian Barr when runner-up at Newton Abbot 10 days ago and, with the effort backed up by a solid time, he's worth a chance to go one better in a weak race. Recent Market Rasen scorer Cawthorne is also considered along with Alfie's Angel.
