Pulled up both starts this season and can only be watched at present.

Form: 8236/PP

Elite Icon²²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: K Scott| OR: 95

66/1

Dual winner on the Flat but yet to make an impact in this sphere, including on handicap bow at Kelso when last seen in March.

Old Jewry^p,t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: D Bourke| OR: 92

10/1

Back on the right track with cheekpieces applied/tongue strap refitted when third of 11 at Market Rasen (18.6f, good) last time. Well worth a crack at this trip and he's an each-way player.

Form: 633-8P3

First One D'Ana^p1,t³⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 92

9/1

Winless following 8 attempts over hurdles and beaten a fair way in a maiden point when last seen in October 2019. Cheekpieces enlisted on debut for new yard.

Form: 504444-

Fame And Hope¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: G Boanas| OR: 92

6/1

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and while she hasn't pulled up any trees in 3 starts in this sphere, there may be better to come now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 23-76

Aheadfullofdreams²⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 91

7/4

Little form in points and hasn't shown a great deal in this sphere either. However, he's in good hands and it would be no great surprise were he to raise his game now faced with a stiffer test.

Form: 66/7088-

Tuatha De Dannan²³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 89

80/1

Has failed to complete on 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 68FPP-

Our Cilla^v1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: J Kington| T: A Crook| OR: 81

25/1

Solid effort in the context of this race when third off 4 lb higher mark at Newcastle last November, but she's 0-10 in this sphere and recent efforts on the Flat have not been inspiring. Visor added.

Form: 9073P0-

Espoir Moriviere²²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Dobbin| OR: 78| D

2/1

Had been knocking on the door prior to opening his account at the thirteenth attempt at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) on final start of last season. 4 lb rise fair and big chance if fully tuned-up.

Form: 0/32P41-

Tannadice Park^p⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Grant Cockburn⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 72

18/1

Little impact in various company, including when tried in cheekpieces for the first time at Perth in August.

Form: 57P8-P8

Forecasts

Aheadfullofdreams (7/4), Espoir Moriviere (2/1), Fame And Hope (6/1), First One D'Ana (9/1), Old Jewry (10/1), Permission Granted (12/1), Samtu (16/1), Tannadice Park (18/1), Our Cilla (25/1), Mistermoonboy (40/1), Elite Icon (66/1), Tuatha De Dannan (80/1)

Providing he's ready to roll following a 7-month break, ESPOIR MORIVIERE has good prospects of following up his Wetherby victory off just a 4 lb higher mark. Old Jewry shouldn't be far away if building on his latest effort now upped in trip, but bigger threats may be posed by potential improvers Fame And Hope and Aheadfullofdreams.
