Vorashann^b³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 116| CD

11/4

Scored over C&D in September but been more miss than hit since and needs to improve on last month's third at this course.

Form: P1385-3

Limelighter^p¹⁰^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 104| CD

7/2

Off the mark in this sphere when taking 8-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 10 days ago. Carries 7 lb penalty for that success but must be respected in follow-up bid.

Form: FP4/42-1

Bucko's Boy^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 108| BF

5/2

Returned to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft, 9/4) 22 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and must enter calculations.

Form: 24375-2

Mister Allegro¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 107

25/1

Fairly useful 2m scorer at his best but has offered little in either start this term and is readily opposed.

Form: 1185-55

Greystoke¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 104| BF

5/2

Opened account at Newton Abbot last month and shaped better than bare result when fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) since. Leading contender.

Form: 73-14

Forecasts

Greystoke (5/2), Bucko's Boy (5/2), Vorashann (11/4), Limelighter (7/2), Mister Allegro (25/1)

This can go to GREYSTOKE, who met plenty of trouble when fourth at Stratford last month and remains with potential over timber. Limelighter is feared most.
