Useful hurdler who made winning start over fences in 21f Cartmel novice in June. Stable is among the winners, so she holds solid claims back in this sphere despite having career-high mark to overcome.

Forecasts

Trincomalee (3/1), Thunderstruck (3/1), Litterale Ci (9/2), Bannixtown Glory (11/2), Jarveys Plate (11/2), Ofalltheginjoints (17/2), Moon Over Germany (25/1)

A few with chances, but the returning TRINCOMALEE looks the way to go for an in-form yard given he was in great nick in the spring and has scored after a break before. Bannixtown Glory rates a big threat now back in this sphere with Jarveys Plate another who can't be taken lightly in a competitive handicap.
