15/2

Bumper winner who came good at seventh time of asking over hurdles in 19.5f Bangor maiden in July. Well held in better company at Stratford since though, and current mark demands improvement.

6/1

Showed fair form over fences towards the end of last season but improvement required now back hurdling after a break. Tongue strap on for the 1st time.

15/2

Modest maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced in first-time cheekpieces when sixth at Stratford last month, but more needed for win purposes.

Form: 42-F836

Forecasts

Isthebaropen (9/4), Countister (9/4), Jessica Rabbit (3/1), Present Storm (4/1), Roseisaroseisarose (6/1), Crystal Gazing (15/2), Persuer (15/2), Maisie Mix (16/1), Free Degrees (250/1)

One-time useful hurdler COUNTISTER returned to winning ways at Kelso last week and did so in the style of one that should prove hard to beat under a penalty, so she's fancied to go in again. Isthebaropen and Present Storm head the opposition.
