15/2

Runner-up 3 times over fences in 2019/20 and landed weak handicap here in March. Isn't the most enthusiastic and goes without usual headgear on reappearance.

Form: 7P/P271-

Rare Clouds¹²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Kevin Jones| T: Simon Earle| OR: 104

9/1

Fair maiden hurdler for Sue Smith and best effort for this yard when second of 8 at Uttoxeter in May, keeping on well. Off since but step up in trip looks very likely to suit.

Form: P52/3P-2

Invincible Cave^p²⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽³⁾| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 102| BF

50/1

Tricky customer who rejuvenated when landing back-to-back handicap hurdles in November. Off the mark over fences at Fakenham in January but turned in a moody effort when last seen. Stable debut.

Form: 13P13P-

Good Man Vinnie¹¹³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: J R Wildman⁽⁷⁾| T: P Henderson| OR: 100| D

25/1

Relished the extra distance when successful twice around this trip over fences in May. Turned in a moody effort in August of that year and can only be watched after such an absence.

Form: 671107/

My Lady Grey^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁶⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 97| D

9/1

Back-to-back winner at Newton Abbot last summer. More miss than hit this term, never going well over fences at that venue last month in a change of headgear.

Form: 826345

Veiled Secret^b,t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 91

3/1

Snapped a long losing run on first start for David Pipe over 20f here in June. Sound-enough effort since but isn't crying out for this step up in distance.

Form: F-38146

No Drama¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Henderson| OR: 88

9/2

Maiden pointer who hinted at encouragement in novice hurdles and left opening effort in handicaps well behind when second of 9 at Plumpton in May (25f). Should have more to offer.

Form: 4400P-2

Abbey Street¹⁷⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: P Henderson| OR: 86

14/1

Winless between the flags and under Rules but did at least show a bit more when third over fences final start last season.

Form: 84P853-

King Cool^b¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 85| C| D

11/4

Inconsistent hurdler but is a course winner and now has blinkers refitted from much-reduced mark. Worth keeping a close eye on him in the betting.

Form: 70P-566

Forecasts

King Cool (11/4), Veiled Secret (3/1), No Drama (9/2), Lord Getaway (13/2), Reallyradical (15/2), My Lady Grey (9/1), Rare Clouds (9/1), Abbey Street (14/1), Good Man Vinnie (25/1), Invincible Cave (50/1)

In the hope there's strength behind him in the market, KING COOL receives the vote back up in trip with the re-fitting of blinkers potentially very significant. No Drama should have more to offer this season and is a threat, along with Rare Clouds and Lord Getaway.
