Glimpse Of Gold^t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 96| CD

4/1

Added to his good efforts for new yard when taking a course handicap hurdle last month but could only manage a well-held fourth in a C&D chase since. Will need to step up on that effort.

Form: 134214

Court Jurado^b²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 94

10/3

Winning pointer. Still a maiden under Rules but hard to knock for consistency, in the frame for the sixth start running when second at Musselburgh (2m, good) latest. Should give another good account.

Form: 223432

Goldencard^b¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 93| D

9/2

Fairly useful dual hurdle but still a maiden over fences, despite a much reduced mark. Beaten 18 lengths when second over C&D in blinkers (retained) latest and more needed to go one better here.

Form: 490482

Caballine^t¹³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: David Noonan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 97

40/1

Little impact in 2 starts on the Flat in France and similar story over jumps for new yard, pulling up when switched to fences for handicap debut/reappearance in July. Off since.

Form: 005-P

Gold Fields^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 87| BF| CD

5/2

Improved from out of the blue when making it third time lucky over fences in C&D handicap a fortnight ago. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth at Sedgefield last week. Respected.

Form: 3446-14

Never A Word^b,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 84

12/1

Remains a maiden over jumps after 24 starts but he posted a couple of good runs in handicap hurdles this autumn and was bang there when falling at the last on recent Ludlow chase debut.

Form: 230-34F

Into The Woods^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 74

8/1

No impact in maiden/novice hurdles for David Pipe last season and well-held seventh on Stratford handicap/chase debut for new yard 22 days ago.

Form: 0P0PP-7

Gold Fields (5/2), Court Jurado (10/3), Glimpse Of Gold (4/1), Goldencard (9/2), Into The Woods (8/1), Never A Word (12/1), Caballine (40/1)

COURT JURADO might be able to gain reward for some consistent efforts this season. This month's C&D winner Gold Fields will be a danger if fully recovered from what appeared quite a hard race at Sedgefield last week. Never A Word is another who is likely to have a say if a late tumble at Ludlow hasn't dented his confidence.
