7/2

Back on track for new yard when winning over hurdles at Uttoxeter in July. Showed further improvement to follow up back over fences there (22.5f) 11 days later and may do better still.

Form: 84-P311

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Willmott| T: Justin Landy| OR: 115| D

33/1

Dual winner over hurdles in early 2021 who showed he retains much of his ability when 8 lengths last of 5 in handicap at Perth (23.9f) last time, unable to sustain effort having jumped none too fluently.

Form: 2311/85

Blakeney Point^b,t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Abbie McCain⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 112| C

4/1

Is unpredictable as they come but returned to form when neck second in 12-runner handicap at this course (19.6f) 25 days ago. That performance is backed up by the clock, so in the mix if reproducing that effort over this longer trip.

Form: 736-562

Mason Jar^b¹¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Cillin Leonard| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 108

25/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019 but shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests when well held at Worcester last time, making chance-ending mistake 3 out. Eased a further 4 lb and can't be completely dismissed.

Form: 4F/637-9

Bright Sunbird³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: K Brogan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 107

11/2

Opened her account with something to spare in 13-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (19.9f) before following up in a 4-runner novice at Cartmel (22.1f), second past the post but subsequently promoted. May do better still.

Form: 07-2211

D'jango^b,t⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 107| D

11/1

Landed handicap hurdle/chase in June and July at Worcester but not in the same form there last 2 outings.

Form: 2-61166

Lelantos^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁶⁾| T: N J Henderson| OR: 105| CD

11/4

Resumed winning ways back in headgear after 9 weeks off in 8-runner C&D handicap (good, 2/1) 25 days ago, by 1½ lengths from Mr Yeats, having run of race. May have more still to offer, so must be respected from only 3 lb higher.

Form: 8211-31

Mr Yeats^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Bradley Harris⁽⁸⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 100

11/2

Resumed winning ways at Ludlow in May and has run well on 3 of his 4 starts subsequently, including when 1½ lengths second of 8 to Lelantos over C&D 25 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 412232

Forecasts

Lelantos (11/4), Imperial Sachin's (7/2), Blakeney Point (4/1), Mr Yeats (11/2), Bright Sunbird (11/2), D'jango (11/1), Mason Jar (25/1), Moonlight Beam (33/1)

IMPERIAL SACHIN'S has made a stellar start to life with his new yard and, with further improvement entirely plausible, he's taken to land the hat-trick back over hurdles. Fellow hat-trick seeker Bright Sunbird returns to handicap company on a mark 11 lb higher than when winning at Uttoxeter in June, but promises to go well again, while Blakeney Point can make his presence felt if backing up his latest effort.
