9/1

Back from the Flat with good fourth in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f)) 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. In the shake-up reverted to a longer trip now.

Form: 3/P28P-4

Tried in cheekpieces when only welfth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in June. Needs to get back on track after his break with headgear retained.

Bootlegger^p,t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 126| BF

3/1

Is running consistently well, sticking on to pull clear of the rest when second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on, and he can give another good account.

Form: 12-U322

Wakool^p³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 112| CD

11/8

Made it 2-3 this season with gutsy victory after 5 months off over C&D last month. Likeable sort who is expected to be bang there again despite 4 lb rise.

Form: 322-131

Pammi^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: J S Goldie| OR: 110| C| D

22/1

Course winner but she found the drop to 2m4f against her when only eighth of 11 in handicap at Ayr 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now, and she needs considering.

Form: 134648

Kaizer¹⁹

9/2

Off 7 months and never able to land a blow over inadequate 2m in handicap hurdle at Hexham 19 days ago. No forlorn hope now reverted to a much longer trip.

Form: 2784-57

Forecasts

Wakool (11/8), Bootlegger (3/1), Kaizer (9/2), One Night In Milan (9/1), Weather Front (18/1), Big Bad Bear (22/1), Pammi (22/1)

WAKOOL showed an excellent attitude when making light of a five-month absence to score over C&D last time so is taken to defy a 4 lb rise. Bootlegger is proving a model of consistency and is next on the list, with in-form One NIght In Milan another who warrants plenty of respect now back up in distance.
