Wouldubewell²⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 122

11/8

Fairly useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Dual point winner too so she's much respected on her chase debut despite having 9-month absence to overcome.

Form: 211/142-

Just A Whim¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: L Horsfall| OR: 110

8/1

Opened her account over hurdles at Uttoxeter in July but she came in last of 6 at Taunton (3m) 12 days ago. Goes chasing now with something to prove.

Form: 42-5156

Chloe's Court^p,t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: R Walford| OR: 105

7/2

Fair winning hurdler who made a promising start over fences when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f) 18 days ago. Should improve, and merits consideration off 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 2/516-44

Bleue Away^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 96

2/1

Dual point scorer who made highly encouraging chasing bow when runner-up in 20f Worceseter handicap. Since good third over hurdles here 23 days ago, so sure to go well back in this sphere up in trip.

Form: P85-223

Forecasts

Wouldubewell (11/8), Bleue Away (2/1), Chloe's Court (7/2), Get The Appeal (4/1), Just A Whim (8/1)

BLEUE AWAY shaped well when second on her chasing bow at Worcester and can go one better now with this step in trip a plus for Anthony Honeyball's dual point winner. Chloe's Court also made an encouraging debut in this sphere when fourth at Chepstow and is feared most, although both Get The Appeal and Wouldubewell have the potential to have a say too in an open handicap.
