Speredek^p,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 126| C| D

14/1

Smart front-running chaser at best. Yet to hit form in three runs over hurdles this season, last of 17 in 3m handicap at Cheltenham 19 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces back on with plenty to prove.

Form: 7P8-640

Twin Star^p,t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: Noel Williams| OR: 125

14/1

Improved for front-running tactics when bagging 2m handicap hurdles at Newton Abbot and Bangor but lacklustre effort on good to firm ground when pulled up at Wincanton last time. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 3-3811P

Tomorrow Mystery^t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 124| D

2/5

Fairly useful 12f Flat winner who is making great strides over hurdles, quickening clear from last to score with ton in hand in 2m Newbury handicap week ago. Escapes a penalty so very hard to beat.

Form: 322/11-1

Robinshill^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 122| D

8/1

Useful hurdler/chaser who goes well fresh and he returned with 2m handicap win at Ludlow three weeks ago. Up 5 lb but yard going great guns so holds place claims.

Form: 41830-1

Shiroccan Roll²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 120

13/2

Has resumed in fine form, scoring over this trip at Newton Abbot in July before two solid efforts in handicaps at Fontwell and Wincanton. Each-way claims.

Form: 43P-125

Olympic Honour³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 118| D

28/1

Signed off for last term with 2m Fakenham handicap win but only tenth of 12 in similar event at Cheltenham last month. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 3U21-0

TOMORROW MYSTERY made a mockery of her handicap mark when scoring with any amount in hand at Newbury last week so looks sure to take the world of beating as she escapes a penalty for that conditional jockeys' victory. In-form duo Robinshill and Shiroccan Roll appeal as the pick of the rest and can chase home Paul Nicholls' fast-improving mare in that order.
