Airton^t,v⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 102| C

8/1

Landed a gamble off a career-low mark at Uttoxeter (23f) in September. However, not quite in same form since, including back up to a more suitable trip last time.

Form: 0-58133

Compadre⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 100| D

8/1

3m chase winner in August who looked back in form when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 62-3185

Mamoo^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: S England| OR: 97

17/2

Has yet to fully fire this term but was left poorly placed at Catterick last time, so not one to write off.

Form: 7-75355

Bitasweetsymphony⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Liam Harrison| T: S Allwood| OR: 96

6/1

Progressing gradually at a low level (latest Uttoxeter form is good) and could do better again faced with more of an emphasis on stamina here. Not ruled out.

Form: 9658-44

Calarules^t⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Millie Wonnacott| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 95

10/1

Missed the whole of last season but is back down to a good mark as a result and shaped quite well when fourth of 16 on his Taunton reappearance (19f) 46 days ago. One to consider back up in trip.

Form: 15365/4

Dreamsundermyfeet⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Lily Pinchin| T: M Keighley| OR: 93

17/2

Well beaten in bumpers and 3 starts over hurdles but will hold more chance now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 0/80-759

Looking For Carl⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Theo Gillard| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 93

22/1

Fair 2m Flat winner. Showed a bit more in this sphere at Southwell last time and has dropped further in the weights, so not without hope.

Form: 579-P06

Uisce Ur^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 92| D

12/1

Modest 3m hurdle winner. Best run over fences when fifth of 12 in 3m handicap chase at Ludlow on return/yard debut. Fell at Catterick next time but of interest now back hurdling.

Form: 1/843-5F

First Assembly³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: N F Houlihan| T: R Bandey| OR: 92

6/1

Maiden who stepped up on his reappearance run when third in 11-runner contest at Taunton (23.9f) 32 days ago, despite needing stiffer test. This more galloping track should suit him better.

Form: 4223-83

Friary Land^p⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 88| BF

13/2

Not long with Olly Murphy and seems to be building up to something, not unduly punished when fourth of 12 in 25f Plumpton handicap last time. Cheekpieces refitted, and may yet improve.

Form: 068-644

Ardglass Star^t¹⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 87

33/1

Showed much-improved form when second on Catterick handicap debut last January, but has been pulled up both starts at Southwell this season, latest in August.

Form: 8P72-PP

Bridey's Lettuce^p²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Ben Godfrey| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 87

25/1

50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) 24 days ago, though never looked like doing any better. Up in trip.

Form: 12-96P5

Euro Fou^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Lee Cosgrove⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 87

66/1

Hinted at ability in maiden/novice hurdles, but was pulled up in first-time cheekpieces on Wetherby handicap debut 15 days ago.

Form: 3-665P

Avithos^b²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽³⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 77| D

22/1

Seems to be going through the motions at present but isn't badly weighed on the pick of her form.

Form: 3/P6-406

Dalkadam⁶²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 76

25/1

Poor handicap hurdler nowadays but ran better than for a while when 2¼ lengths fourth of 13 in Wincanton handicap (20.7f) 62 days ago.

Form: 44/5P-P4

Connie Wilde⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Mr Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: L Wadham| OR: 75

16/1

Little show in 3 maiden hurdles, but gets a crack at handicaps now from a low base and it's worth keeping in mind she has a good staying pedigree.

Form: 7-6P5

Our Cilla^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Williamson| T: A Crook| OR: 72

100/1

Poor maiden in this sphere who has offered little all 3 starts this season.

Form: 3P0-70P

Luduamf¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 68

200/1

Off little account on Flat nowadays and little form over hurdles. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 699-6

Forecasts

First Assembly (6/1), Bitasweetsymphony (6/1), Friary Land (13/2), Airton (8/1), Compadre (8/1), Dreamsundermyfeet (17/2), Mamoo (17/2), Calarules (10/1), Uisce Ur (12/1), Connie Wilde (16/1), Avithos (22/1), Looking For Carl (22/1), Dalkadam (25/1), Bridey's Lettuce (25/1), Ardglass Star (33/1), Euro Fou (66/1), Our Cilla (100/1), Luduamf (200/1)

FIRST ASSEMBLY stepped up on his reappearance when third at Taunton last month and, with this more galloping track likely to be in his favour, he gets the nod to shed his maiden tag. Friary Land seems to be building up to something for Olly Murphy and is next on the list, ahead of Bitasweetsymphony, who could do better again now stepping up further in trip.
