Very Patient²⁰⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 102

16/1

Has shown sings of ability and ran his best race switched to a handicap when third at Hexham back in March. Not discounted if ready to roll.

Form: 9/P6P43-

Calliope¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 100| BF| C

9/2

Course winner who also scored at Cartmel in August and shaped as if still in good form when fourth in Perth handicap (20f) next start. Run best excused at Kelso last time so can get back on track.

Form: 231344

Arkyn^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Robson| OR: 99

20/1

Bumper winner for Alan King, but more miss than hit over hurdles for that yard. Shaped as if better for the run on return in cheekpieces last month but will need a big step forward to feature.

Form: 8/685P-8

Headscarf Lil²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 96

10/3

Low-mileage 7-y-o who was placed first 2 outings this term, proving her stamina for 3m in the process. Quickly back on track at Perth last month so she's one for the shortlist.

Form: 48-2365

Lissen To The Lady¹⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss J Walton⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 91| C

15/2

Winner of handicap hurdles on 2 of her last 4 starts, but needs to bounce back following an underwhelming display at Kelso when last seen back in May.

Form: 6313-14

Paddy The Panda³¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Alain Cawley| T: D Bourke| OR: 87

25/1

Modest in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, never on terms on his qualifying run at Hexham (20.1f, heavy, 22/1) 10 months ago. Could make more impact in handicaps.

Form: 73/743-

Fernhill Dane¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 85

14/1

Beaten a long way on debut in a bumper at Catterick and hasn't fared much better in a couple of novice hurdles/maiden since. Makes handicap debut after 6 months off.

Form: 9392-

Brickadank²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 80

13/2

Poor maiden on level and over hurdles. Well held in 2m1f handicap (250/1) at Pontefract but back to form returned to hurdling at Sedgefield earlier this month. Needs to back that up.

Form: 7-33495

Fernhill Lad^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 79

15/2

Ran to just a similar level as previously following a 4-month break when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Mark continues to tumble so not discounted.

Form: 5889-45

Crakehall Lad^b¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: J Kington| T: A Crook| OR: 73

28/1

Without a win since 2016, and possibly flattered when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft, 25/1) 18 days ago. Needs to prove that was no fluke.

Form: 3/60-293

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 15p in the pound

Forecasts

Headscarf Lil (10/3), Calliope (9/2), Mcgarry (5/1), Arcanja (6/1), Brickadank (13/2), Fernhill Lad (15/2), Lissen To The Lady (15/2), Fernhill Dane (14/1), Your Place (14/1), Very Patient (16/1), Arkyn (20/1), Paddy The Panda (25/1), Crakehall Lad (28/1)

Several in with chances but it could pay to side with MCGARRY, who stopped the slide having fallen a long way in the weights when fourth at Sedgefield back in March and this step back up in trip could be just what Philip Kirby's charge requires to open his account. Headscarf Lil got back on track at Perth last month so she's feared most, ahead of handicap debutant Arcanja and Calliope.
