Talking About You²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: S Curran| OR: 60

9/4

28/1, pulled up in novice chase at Exeter (17.5f, soft) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Potentially well treated on pick of her hurdles form, so she's well worthy of respect.

Garrison Commander^p,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: S W Kelly| T: Katy Price| OR: 60

66/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 16 days ago. Yet to convince with his stamina for this far.

25/1

Course winner. Latest win here in September. First run since leaving Brian Ellison when bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 33/1) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive.

7/1

14/1, first run since leaving Julia Feilden when creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 19 days ago. Worth chancing to go one better from a handy mark.

11/1

Course winner. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Type to bounce back quickly.

12/1

Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft, 33/1) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Fairly treated on the pick of his Flat efforts, so shouldn't be completely dismissed.

9/2

Latest win at Brighton in September. 10/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 29 days ago. Should give another good account.

14/1

Creditable third of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 18 days ago. Tends to give her running but she's a long-standing maiden.

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: C J Gray| OR: 48

8/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 50/1, sixteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Vulnerable to better-handicapped rivals.

11/2

Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (16.6f, 17/2) 25 days ago. Worth considering in a weak affair.

PARTY PLANNER is well treated on past exploits and made a positive start for her current yard when runner-up at Southwell 19 days ago, so she's fancied to come out on top in a race that lacks depth. Talking About You has shown fairly useful form over hurdles since last seen on the Flat, so he's dangerous from a mark of 60, while Yasmin From York can be trusted to run her race.
