Nashville Nipper²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Lawes| OR: 105

4/1

Fair form when twice placed in maiden hurdles, and shaped with more encouragement than on his return when third at Ascot (19.3f) in October. Halted by a mistake when behind Zulu Dawn at Uttoxeter.

Form: P3-2334

Albert Van Ornum²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 105

10/3

Fair ex-French 13f Flat winner. Clear signs of ability in juvenile/maiden hurdles and sure to relish this trip judged on handicap debut run over 2m a month ago.

Form: 742-63

Zulu Dawn²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 104| BF

11/2

Fairly useful in bumpers and best run over hurdles when second at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in September. Didn't looks straightforward when failing to land a gamble at Uttoxeter but far from disgraced.

Form: 5U/4223

Sameer²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: M Goldstein| T: L A Dace| OR: 103

33/1

Fair hurdler but held back by sloppy jumping both starts for this yard last month.

Form: 4934-5P

C'Est Quelqu'un^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: David Bass| T: S Curran| OR: 102

25/1

Fair maiden chaser in France but nowhere near that level both starts over hurdles this autumn. Handicaps more suitable and now up in trip with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 6F22-05

Henschke^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| OR: 101WS

10/3

Travelled with purpose when second of 12 on last month's reappearance at Plumpton. Since had a wind op and he lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 08U53-2

Maroochi^p1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 98

40/1

Modest in bumpers and similar form over hurdles to date, merely plugging on fo fifth switched to a handicap at Taunton. Cheekpieces replace hood.

Form: 87-3U35

Sixty Dollars More¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 97

8/1

Produced best run after 6 months off when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, soft). Not in the same form at Chepstow 18 days ago.

Form: 594-028

With Pleasure^b¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: J L Flint| OR: 91

14/1

Modest maiden under both codes but looks worth a go at this trip judged on latest Lingfield run

Form: 73P/38-3

William Philo¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: R Walford| OR: 90

33/1

Shaped like a stayer in his qualifying runs so could leave form achieved so far behind handicapping up in distance.

Form: 7-59

Top Drawer²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: Tracey Leeson| OR: 86

22/1

Maiden Irish pointer who looks to be going through the motions.

Form: 3P0-758

Forecasts

Henschke (10/3), Albert Van Ornum (10/3), Nashville Nipper (4/1), Zulu Dawn (11/2), Sixty Dollars More (8/1), Rare Clouds (10/1), With Pleasure (14/1), Winter Holiday (16/1), Top Drawer (22/1), C'Est Quelqu'un (25/1), Clongowes (25/1), William Philo (33/1), Sameer (33/1), Maroochi (40/1)

HENSCHKE shaped as though ahead of his mark when runner-up at Plumpton, and having undergone a wind op since, he looks an interesting proposition. Zulu Dawn and Nashville Nipper shaped well for different reasons in the same Uttoxeter handicap last time and head the opposition.
