Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 138| BF| C

6/1

Already a three-time winner this season. Posted another good run when second of 4 in 3m handicap at Exeter 17 days ago, so he's well in the mix.

Form: 4-14112

Irish Prophecy^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 137| C

7/2

Unreliable type who wasn't discredited when fifth of 13 in 3m handicap at Chepstow 15 days ago. Others remain more persuasive, though.

Form: 13R-P35

Vision Des Flos^t³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 132

9/4

Is finally getting his act together, and bids for a hat-trick after 20f handicap wins at Uttoxeter and Warwick. Effective over this longer trip. Merits serious consideration.

Form: 033511

Coup De Pinceau^v¹¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: D A Jacob| T: R J Smith| OR: 131

22/1

Useful winner at his best for Nick Mitchell but off the track since poor tenth at Uttoxeter in June. Has a bit to prove on his yard debut now.

Form: 3618-80

Forgot To Ask^t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 128

5/1

Scored at Market Rasen in May and back from four months off with good second of 4 in 3m handicap at Ludlow 18 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 221-102

Railway Muice^p,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 112

10/3

Ex-Irish gelding who made it 3-3 for his new yard in 25f handicap hurdle at Huntingdon 12 days ago. Twice successful over fences earlier, and he's weighted to go close again back in this sphere.

Form: 471111

Forecasts

Vision Des Flos (9/4), Railway Muice (10/3), Irish Prophecy (7/2), Forgot To Ask (5/1), Rhythm Is A Dancer (6/1), Poppa Poutine (6/1), Wandrin Star (12/1), Coup De Pinceau (22/1)

A tightly-knit handicap in which RAILWAY MUICE is taken to make it 4-4 for Sarah Humphrey given there still looks to be some mileage in his chasing mark after his Huntingdon hurdling success. Vision Des Flos rates a big threat in his hat-trick bid, with in-form Rhythm Is A Dancer and past-winner Wandrin Star both high on the shortlist too.
