Green Or Black^p,t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 112

13/2

Winless since July 2019, but latest effort in a slightly higher-grade handicap at Stratford (16.3f) was respectable. Now 2 lb lower and possibilities if coping with this step up in trip.

Form: 3F-2433

Anightinlambourn¹²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 110WS

9/2

Gained breakthrough success at Wincanton in January. Rather in-and-out since, but latest third at Southwell (20.4f) was a solid effort and each-way claims off same mark. Has undergone wind surgery.

Form: 41P26-3

Blue Sans^p1,t⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 108

9/4

Point/bumper winner who landed a 3-runner Fontwell novice in good style in June. Just touched off upped to 23f here next time and she's a big player now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 103-212

Dylan's Sea Song^h⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: James Davies| T: M D I Usher| OR: 105

13/2

Winner of 2 of her last 3 starts, the latest over 18.7f at Stratford in July. Up 7 lb for that, but clearly at the top of her game and this new trip should be within range, so she merits respect.

Form: 54-7131

Howdilyoudo^t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 103| C| D

9/2

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning 4-runner Worcester handicap in May. Added to her tally following a wind op at Uttoxeter (19.9f) last time and a 3 lb rise for that looks fair.

Form: P3-6131

Monty's Mission⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 102

28/1

Made the frame a couple of times for previous connections in Ireland this year, but she's 0-19 under Rules and is opposable on debut for new yard.

Form: 63-404P

Our Rockstar¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Jones| T: A Ralph| OR: 97

5/1

In excellent form with back-to-back wins at Ludlow (21.2f) in May, but form has dipped since and she ran no sort of a race at Bangor last time.

Form: 0-11920

Forecasts

Blue Sans (9/4), Howdilyoudo (9/2), Anightinlambourn (9/2), Our Rockstar (5/1), Green Or Black (13/2), Dylan's Sea Song (13/2), Methag (8/1), Monty's Mission (28/1)

BLUE SANS is the least exposed of these and makes her handicap debut off what may well turn out to be a generous opening mark. She is taken to account for Dylan's Sea Song and Howdilyoudo, both of whom arrive here in good form. Green Or Black should also make her presence felt.
