Wazowski²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 110| CD

7/2

Better than ever at the age of 11 when beating a reopposing stablemate in C&D handicap in August. Found only by an unexposed sort too good next time, so must enters calculations.

Form: 1/26-812

Brigade of Guards^t,v²⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 107

66/1

Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles prior to being pulled up in a first-time tongue tie on Doncaster chasing debut final outing last season, so returns to this sphere with plenty to prove.

Form: 783/03P-

Jennys Day²⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 104

6/1

Fair handicap hurdler, second twice in handicaps in 2018. Well beaten at Musselburgh sole 2019/20 start but lasted long enough to suggest some ability remains.

Form: P5722/9-

Spice War⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 103

11/2

In good form on the Flat this summer and ran well back hurdling in retried blinkers when fifth in 15-runner contest at Fontwell (17,7f) 45 days ago, despite being struck into. May yet do better.

Form: 5F9-5

Puppet Warrior^p²³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 103

16/1

Respectable second of 4 in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Plumpton (25f, heavy), though no match for winner. Off 7 months.

Form: 444/7F2-

Frisco Bay^t²⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 102WS

9/2

Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points. Has yet to make a serious impression under Rules but is a well-bred sort who promises to make his mark now handicapping up in trip after a wind op.

Form: 4/26097-

Dalaman^b1,t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Peter Bryan⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 102

9/1

Winless last season and turned in another laboured effort at Ffos Las on return 26 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time.

Form: PP/444-6

Alderson²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 102

20/1

Hinted at ability sole outing in bumpers and did likewise in a course novice hurdle (19.6f) last month. Will hold more chance now handicapping but needs to prove his stamina for this sort of trip.

Form: 38/8-5

Avantgardist²³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 101

13/2

Inconsistent hurdler but is back down to his last winning mark for this return to action.

Forecasts

Wazowski (7/2), Frisco Bay (9/2), Meep Meep (9/2), Spice War (11/2), Jennys Day (6/1), Avantgardist (13/2), Quick Pick (8/1), Dalaman (9/1), Puppet Warrior (16/1), Alderson (20/1), Brigade of Guards (66/1)

FRISCO BAY has yet to achieve much under Rules but it's possible he could prove a different proposition now sent handicapping up in trip after wind surgery, so he gets the nod. Meep Meep has been underwhelming over hurdles to this point, but has eased further in the weights so shouldn't be written off on only her third start for Dan Skelton. Spice War and Wazowski are others to consider.
