Beach Break^b¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 118

20/1

Is struggling for form at present but is now 5 lb below his last winning mark and this is easier than his last 2 assignments.

Form: 5-44265

Catchmeifyoucan^p1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 118| D

11/1

Successful at Uttoxeter and Cartmel in July and has continued in good form since, looking unlucky not to finish closer when sixth at Wetherby (24.1f) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 411226

Idilico³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 115

16/1

Juvenile hurdle winner back in 2018 who ended his time with Ian Williams with success in 1¾m Nottingham handicap. Stamina to prove over this far on first hurdle start since November 2019, though.

Form: 52U05P/

Red Missile^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 113| C

15/2

Fairly useful winner on Flat and bettered his juvenile form to come out on top in a novice at Perth in September. Unable to build on that form in handicaps but hasn't been disgraced. First try at 3m.

Form: 357-133

Wakool^p¹⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander| OR: 108| BF| D

5/2

Built on a couple of runner-up efforts to go one better at Perth in May. Run best excused when third at same course last time and still relatively unexposed at staying trips.

Form: 3322-13

Wynford^p,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 105

9/4

Well and truly revived by Rebecca Menzies, winning over hurdles Market Rasen (20.5f) in July. Has also gone in three times on the Flat since so remains of interest now back over timber.

Form: 4960-41

The Blame Game^p³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart| OR: 105

8/1

Recorded a first handicap success after 12 weeks off at Sedgefield in August. Only fifth of 12 in follow-up bid there a month later but had excuses and this step back up to 3m is a plus.

Form: 24-7315

Liffeydale Dreamer^p,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 105

8/1

Scored at Cartmel in June and in frame all 3 starts since, latest at Kelso 11 days ago. Should continue in form.

Form: 123343

Derrick D'Anjou^p,t²⁶⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 93

33/1

Modest staying jumper who made the frame in 3 jumpers bumpers at the beginning of the year. Back over hurdles in a refitted tongue tie now after 8 months off.

Form: 42U342-

Forecasts

Wynford (9/4), Wakool (5/2), Red Missile (15/2), The Blame Game (8/1), Liffeydale Dreamer (8/1), Catchmeifyoucan (11/1), Idilico (16/1), Beach Break (20/1), Derrick D'Anjou (33/1)

WAKOOL is a hurdler with still relatively few miles on the clock, especially at staying trips, so he looks the most persuasive option with that borne in mind. The Blame Game had excuses at Sedgefield last time and is better judged on his win there the previous month, while the revitalised Wynford also needs considering returning to this sphere.
