Off time: 13:45 | Winning time: 4m 33.0s

Arcade Attraction^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Niall Moore⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 106

9/4

Fair chase winner who opened account over hurdles at Ludlow (21.2f) in May. Hard to knock consistency in defeat in former sphere more recently and he's entitled to be in the mix again.

Form: 61U-133

Beholden^v1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 108

9/2

Bumper winner in 2020. Fair form over hurdles, off the mark in Newton Abbot maiden (18.5f) in August but didn't convince with his application when fifth on handicap bow at Warwick latest. Visored now.

Form: 3-23215

Island Nation⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 110| BF

5/6

Fair middle-distance Flat performer who improved to land amateur's handicap over hurdles at Perth (16.2f) in July. Hit the frame all 3 starts since and he's one of the likelier types upped in trip.

Form: 44-1332

Little Jessture^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Jones| T: Ben Clarke

20/1

Modest bumper winner who never figured in trio of Flat starts this summer. Limited impact over hurdles in recent weeks and her future likely lies in low-grade handicaps in this sphere.

Form: 13-73

Checkitsme^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris

66/1

Showed a bit on third of 3 starts in bumpers but failed to get home when sixth of 7 in a mares' novice at Fontwell (19.2f) in September. Likely best watched for all this will reveal more.

Form: 5736

Forecasts

Island Nation (5/6), Arcade Attraction (9/4), Beholden (9/2), Little Jessture (20/1), Checkitsme (66/1)

A competitive small-field novice in which it may pay to side with ARCADE ATTRACTION. A winner over hurdles in May, he's performed with credit over fences subsequently and, with his yard amongst the winners, he's expected to be thereabouts again. Island Nation did plenty in front on his latest start but rates a player, whilst Beholden has the ability to figure if putting it all together.
