Cubswin⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 130

12/1

Has slipped in the weights and took a sizeable step back in the right direction when 7 lengths fourth of 5 in Market Rasen handicap (20.6f) in July. Eased 3 lb and can have a say if building on that.

Form: 1376-54

Yeavering Belle^p,t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 125| CD

9/4

Has been held back by her jumping over fences of late, but she was successful in this corresponding event from the same mark as today's 12 months ago, so requires a close look.

Form: 0P8-2U3

Cotton End⁸³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 124| C

17/2

Likeable type who racked up her fifth handicap win in under 9 months at Aintree (16.4f) in June. Not seen to best effect off higher marks both outings since, so not dismissed returning from a break.

Form: 3-16146

Sacre Coeur^h¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 122

9/2

Fairly useful ex-French chaser who ran up to best back over timber when third in Sussex Champion Hurdle prior to falling on handicap chase bow. Has left Charlie Mann and looks on a good mark.

Form: 11U43F-

Une De La Seniere^t¹⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 116| BF| D

10/3

Resumed winning ways in a weak handicap at Plumpton in April, but looked anchored by a rise in the weights final 2 outings. Improvement needed on this return to action.

Form: 14412-3

Gavrocheka^b1⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 111| D

9/2

Cheekpieces fitted and back to winning ways at Ffos Las over 20f in June. That race completely fell apart and she failed to back that up from the same mark at Uttoxeter. Blinkers now tried.

Form: 3046-14

Non-Runners

Litterale Ci⁴⁶

Weight: 12-0| Age: 8

T: H Fry J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Litterale Ci (11/8), Yeavering Belle (9/4), Une De La Seniere (10/3), Gavrocheka (9/2), Sacre Coeur (9/2), Cotton End (17/2), Cubswin (12/1)

SACRE COEUR returns to hurdling on a good mark judged on the pick of her chase form and looks set for a big run with her new yard amongst the winners. Cotton End is a likeable type who can go well back from a break, with Litterale Ci another to take seriously given her excellent strike rate.
