50/1

First run since leaving Nigel Twiston-Davies when fell in handicap chase at Huntingdon on debut over fences 24 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles.

Form: 41P57-F

King D'Argent⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 115| D

3/1

Down in the weights and back on his game when second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Perth 44 days ago, no match for winner. Back down in trip.

Form: 50835-2

Kannapolis¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Lawes| OR: 113

10/3

Flat winner who ran best race yet over hurdles when second of 9 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Wincanton (15.3f, good) 12 days ago, for all he did have the run of the race.

Form: 3-272

Sorbet³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR: 113

5/2

Continued theme of race-by-race progress when a very good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 36 days ago, conceding first run. Has to be of serious interest.

Form: 3/6522-2

Takbeer^p¹²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 112| D

100/1

No impact both Flat starts during the summer and pulled up on last hurdles run in March. Tough to assess at present.

Form: 1F62/7P-

Ambion Hill²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 108

9/1

Lost both left shoes and may have needed the run when tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. This will reveal more.

Form: 66374-0

Karakoram^p,t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 108| D

9/1

Off the mark from this mark at Ludlow a year ago and made the frame on 4 of his 6 starts thereafter last term. Not at very best so far this campaign but handicapper is relinquishing his grip.

Form: 236-368

Reverend Jacobs⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 106

50/1

Useful at best on Flat but has only managed fair form to this point over hurdles, looking unsuited by soft ground at Stratford when last seen in August.

Form: 0/843-6P

Our Rodney³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 105

14/1

Fair 6f winner on the Flat as a 2-y-o who has showed ability over hurdles, his best effort when third in a Stratford novice (2m). Needs more from current mark, though.

Form: 0-344

Lucky's Dream⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: R T Dunne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 99

18/1

Fairly useful Flat winner but not at the top of his game on the level of late. First spell hurdling hardly brimming with promise but this is his first handicap start.

Form: 597/

Billy Ray⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 94

33/1

Useful at best on the Flat, but largely disappointing for present stable.

Form: 35-68

Peat Moss^b1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 105

20/1

Juvenile winner at Plumpton in September. Didn't look the easiest rides on handicap debut over hurdles at Ludlow and blinkers replace visor.

Form: 3616

Sunny Girl^h⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 72

150/1

Looks very limited and she's a long way out of the weights.

Form: 00/00-6

Henri Le Bon²³⁶

Weight: 11-11| Age: 5

T: Kerry Lee J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Sorbet (5/2), King D'Argent (3/1), Kannapolis (10/3), Henri Le Bon (15/2), Ambion Hill (9/1), Karakoram (9/1), Our Rodney (14/1), Lucky's Dream (18/1), Peat Moss (20/1), Billy Ray (33/1), Reverend Jacobs (50/1), Rootless Tree (50/1), Takbeer (100/1), Sunny Girl (150/1)

SORBET improved again when runner-up on handicap debut over C&D a month ago and with the third successful since, the early evidence suggests that is a solid piece of form, With further progress possible, she gets the nod ahead of King d'Argent and Lucky's Dream.
