One Touch^t³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 105| D

4/1

Upped his game, in first-time tongue strap, when taking 7-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 30 days ago, always holding on. 8 lb higher now but another bold bid anticipated.

Winding Roe^t⁹⁸⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 105

14/1

Winner at Kelso in September 2019 but not seen since unseating rider 3 months later and likely best watched.

Kolisi^t,v³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 105

8/1

3 wins from 7 runs last season and ran up to best when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to soft, 5/1) 33 days ago. Ought to give another good account.

Form: 1-42243

Genever Dragon^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 98

7/2

Been in good form on level and almost back on scoreboard in this sphere when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good, 9/1) 27 days ago, having run of race. 4 lb higher now but can't be ruled out.

Form: 6433-62

Bridge Road⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 98| BF

3/1

Come close on a couple of occasions at Uttoxeter (both 19.9f) this summer and remains on a decent mark. Shortlist material.

Form: 5558-22

O'Grady's Boy^p1²⁷⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: K Brogan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 86

18/1

Yet to score after 9 attempts and not seen since disappointing over fences at Catterick 9 months ago. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 2P6UU4-

Mi Laddo^p,t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: M F Harris| OR: 82

8/1

Encouraging fourth on return at Uttoxeter last month but below that level at Market Rasen since and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 2237-46

Charming Getaway¹⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 82

6/1

Well held in 3 quick runs in 2m maiden/novice hurdles and unable to up his game on both starts in handicaps so far. Big step forward required.

Form: 66699-8

Forecasts

Bridge Road (3/1), Genever Dragon (7/2), One Touch (4/1), Charming Getaway (6/1), Mi Laddo (8/1), Kolisi (8/1), Winding Roe (14/1), O'Grady's Boy (18/1), Dame De Ruban (20/1)

BRIDGE ROAD hasn't done a lot wrong in either outing this term and can open his account in the finale. One Touch and Kolisi rate the principal dangers.
