Fairly useful hurdler in 2019 but has yet to prove he retains his ability back from a long absence this season. Something to prove on chasing debut.
|
Scored at Ffos Las earlier this season and ran creditably there in November. Subsequent outing probably came too soon, so could get back on track.
|
Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when third at Wincanton on reappearance a month ago. Should strip fitter for that, so could make an impact if he takes to chasing/stays the longer trip.
|
Landed a gamble over hurdles on return at this course last term and has shown enough in this sphere to think he can win races when it all clicks. Merits respect.
|
On a lengthy losing run but has plenty of chase experience in Ireland and posted a respectable first effort for this yard when fifth at Lingfield 37 days ago. One to note down in grade.
|
Just modest form at best over hurdles to date but he may strip fitter for his seasonal/handicap debut at Wincanton 53 days ago, and he's bred to make a better chaser.
|
Struggled for form over hurdles earlier this year and has been pulled up on both outings over fences recently, admittedly when out of his depth over C&D last time.
|
Useful on Flat and showed ability when runner-up both starts over hurdles in 2019. Lightly raced and generally disappointing since, though, including over fences.
|
Bagged second course win in April and shaped as if back in form when fourth over 3m at this course last time. Down in trip/grade now, so could go well under another positive ride.
|
Improved from out of the blue when runner-up at Chepstow (19.4f, good) in March but underperformed both starts since and made an inauspicious chasing bow at Ludlow 24 days ago.
|
Lightly-raced ex-pointer who left previous efforts behind when making all in a 10-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter. Room for further progress, so likely to go well again.
|
Modest form over hurdles in 2019/20 but has shown nothing since, mainly over fences.
|
Progressed in first-time cheekpieces when opening her account over hurdles at Worcester in May. Back on track when second back to chasing at Ffos Las a month ago, and she's unexposed in this sphere.

Forecasts
Tip Top Mountain (5/1), Getaway Lucy (11/2), Caspers Court (13/2), Wax And Wane (7/1), Majestic Merlin (8/1), Troed Y Melin (12/1), Eurowork (14/1), Allardyce (14/1), Tudors Treasure (14/1), Spotty Dog (14/1), Flowing Cadenza (18/1), Geordie Washington (18/1), Duarigle (25/1)
ALLARDYCE has plenty of solid form in Ireland and made a reasonable start for Paul Henderson when fifth at Lingfield 37 days ago, so he gets the marginal vote ahead of fellow class-dropper Troed Y Melin in a tightly-knit contest. Tip Top Mountain, who opened his account at Uttoxeter last time, is another one to consider with the scope for further improvement.
