Fantastic Lady²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 120

10/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler who showed something to work on despite finishing last of 6 in a handicap chase at Wincanton a month ago. Expect her to improve on that.

Form: 4F1-56

Clemencia^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 120

22/1

Fairly useful hurdler, but doesn't have the look of a chasing type and is yet to offer much encouragement in two outings over fences.

Form: 47-F7U3

Fearless³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 117

3/1

Fairly useful winner over hurdles who hasn't been seen to best effect on either outing over fences, hampered by a faller when third of 5 at Lingfield. Excellent claims with Sean Bowen taking over.

Form: 4F35-23

Don't Ask^b,t⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: J J Burke| T: A M Hales| OR: 111| D

20/1

Successful chasing debut at Southwell in May and best effort in 3 outings since when fourth there last month. He's an unreliable sort, however, so just as likely to run poorly now.

Form: 73-1PP4

Give Me A Moment⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 110

11/8

Has thrived since joining this yard, posting a career-best to score emphatically at Catterick a couple of months ago. This is a bit tougher, but another bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 760221

Fulgurix⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 109

10/1

Runner-up on hurdling debut in France in 2019, but has been disappointing so far in Britain, including over fences latest. Starts out for another new stable here.

Form: 2/46-84

Ballinsker^p⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 108

8/1

Point winner who notched second hurdles success at Southwell (2m) in June. Not quite up to the same level over fences yet, beaten in a match in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow last time.

Form: 1P4552

Mistersister⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 113

12/1

Won a claiming hurdle on final start in France. Failed to make much of an impact for Charlie Mann but positive start for this yard when fourth at Sandown on return. Chase debut.

Form: P753P-4

Forecasts

Give Me A Moment (11/8), Fearless (3/1), Lady Of The Night (11/2), Ballinsker (8/1), Fantastic Lady (10/1), Fulgurix (10/1), Mistersister (12/1), Don't Ask (20/1), Clemencia (22/1)

FEARLESS is unexposed as a chaser and would have finished closer had he not been hampered by a faller at Lingfield last time, so he's fancied to open his account in this sphere back up in trip. The likeable Give Me A Moment should give his all once more and Lady of The Night appeals as an interesting chasing debutant.
