Fearless Action¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: C Grant

28/1

Placed on first of 2 starts in bumpers. Better than result when seventh of 10 on 2½m Hexham hurdle debut 18 days ago but he's probably more one for handicaps later on.

Form: 3-57

Findthetime⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards

15/8

Held every chance when last-fence faller on sole point start in December. Much better efforts in novice hurdles this autumn when runner-up over 17f at Carlisle last month. Good shout under Hughes.

Form: F-32

Hajey¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott

100/1

Modest maiden on Flat (stays 12.5f). Did quite well to finish third on hurdles bow given how free he was at Newcastle in March but he was well beaten over this C&D on hurdle return 12 days ago.

Form: 3-7

Jamih^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: Miss T Jackson

125/1

Modest Flat winner. Poor form when remote fifth in C&D novice 11 days ago on his completed start over hurdles.

Form: U5

Jupiter Road¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: M E Sowersby

150/1

Largely struggled on the level this year and tailed off when pulled up on recent C&D hurdle debut.

Form: P

Kendancer¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: C Byrnes| OR: 116

6/4

Didn't need to improve to finally get off the mark in 12-runner maiden at Ballinrobe in August. Raced keenly when no more than a respectable fourth over C&D latest but he's better than that.

Form: 2-44144

Lightning Attack¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

125/1

Modest on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Roger Teal. 66/1, no short-term promiese on Carlisle hurdle/stable debut 15 days ago.

Form: 0

Spiritofthenorth⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: K A RyanWS

9/5

Fairly useful but irresolute maiden on Flat but didn't obviously do much wrong when second on his C&D hurdle debut 48 days ago. Undergone wind surgery since. Should be thereabouts.

Form: 2

Up With The Play^p²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: V Thompson

150/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. in Ireland. Placed on hurdle debut there in March but well beaten at Navan later than month and not seen since suffering a similar fate on the Flat in May. Yard debut.

Form: 30-

Star Dreamer¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett

125/1

Modest maiden on Flat and didn't jump with fluency when well beaten on Carlisle hurdle debut 15 days ago.

Form: 0

Willa²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby

200/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 11.5f). Would be a surprise winner on hurdle debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Kendancer (6/4), Spiritofthenorth (9/5), Findthetime (15/8), Fearless Action (28/1), Hajey (100/1), Star Dreamer (125/1), Jamih (125/1), Breaking Records (125/1), Lightning Attack (125/1), Up With The Play (150/1), Jupiter Road (150/1), Willa (200/1)

It's interesting that Charles Byrnes brings KENDANCER straight back here after a below-par run 12 days ago and he has good claims on his Irish form so might be worth another chance, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Findthetime and Spiritofthenorth are the obvious threats in a contest where it's tough to make a good case for any of the others.
