Karlie²⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore| BFWS

5/4

Point winner who made a successful Rules debut in bumper at Taunton a year ago. That form far from solid, however, and unable to repeat that twice since. Off 8 months/had wind op. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 51/156-

Nabvutika^h1⁴⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D PipeWS

20/1

Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1¼m, shaped as if needing run on stable debut sole start in 2020. Off 15 months/had wind op. Hooded for 1st time ahead of hurdles bow.

Form:

Over The River⁸¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes

250/1

Well beaten sole outing on Flat (for Alexandra Dunn). Off over 2 years.

Form:

Towtheline¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: H Brown

100/1

Second sole start in point bumper (April 25) but well held in bumper at Warwick last month.

Form: 26

Blue Collar Glory^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

12/1

Didn't need to match previous form to land 5-runner bumper at Worcester in June but looked badly in need of the experience jumping-wise when last in novice at Market Rasen on hurdles bow.

Form: 3-216

Maroochi¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: Kieran Burke

8/1

Modest in bumpers and similar form when third in novice at Worcester (20f, good to soft, 22/1) on hurdles bow in May. Subsequently sold from Alan King £14,000 but entitled to improve.

Form: 287-3

Nostalgica³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 98

9/1

Modest maiden on Flat for Mark Johnston. Runner-up on Taunton hurdle debut but below that level in 3 runs at Newton Abbot this summer, including on handicap debut latest.

Form: 2-246

Puffin Bay⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: D A Jacob| T: O Sherwood

7/4

Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Fancy Foundations and confirmed debut promise when taking Stratford bumper in good style in August. Needs considering on hurdles bow.

Form: 31

Non-Runners

Cordey Dancer¹¹⁸

Weight: 10-11| Age: 4

T: F O'Brien J: Liam Harrison

Forecasts

Karlie (5/4), Puffin Bay (7/4), Cordey Dancer (5/1), Maroochi (8/1), Nostalgica (9/1), Blue Collar Glory (12/1), Nabvutika (20/1), Towtheline (100/1), Over The River (250/1)

This shouldn't take much winning and bumper-winner PUFFIN BAY is taken to get off the mark at the first attempt in this sphere. Maroochi is next best ahead of Karlie.
