Martalmix'jac⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 94

22/1

Still looking for first success and ran no sort of race on handicap debut at Market Rasen 44 days ago.

Form: 0705-4P

Clean Getaway¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 94

80/1

Failed to make an impact in 4 starts for Nicky Henderson and no signs of improvement as yet for current connections.

Form: 95846-4

Syr Maffos¹²²

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 96

20/1

Never landed a blow in bumper at Hereford and ran to just a poor level in both hurdle outings so far. Perhaps the switch to handicapping may see him in a better light.

Form: 73-3

Bravethewaves^t¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93

8/1

Showed more than previously when third in Haydock maiden (15.7f) in March and worth a check in market on handicap debut.

Form: 67683-

Denable⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Carson| OR: 92| D

5/1

Posted career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 49 days ago, forging clear. 8 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

Form: 8/8668-1

Bbob Alula^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 90

20/1

Fair performer on Flat but below that level in 3 starts over timber thus far. Switch to handicapping may bring about improvement, however.

Form: 07/5

Henri Le Bon^b⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁵⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 90

2/1

Remains a maiden but falling in the weights and posted solid placed efforts the last twice, latest when second in C&D handicap (good to soft) in July. Not taken lightly.

Form: 397-532

Belle Na Bann^t⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 81

4/1

Upped her game since dropping back in trip, landing handicaps at Fontwell (17.7f) and Newton Abbot (16.8f) in recent weeks. 7 lb penalty may not prevent hat-trick.

Form: P-6P711

Keep It Brief^p,t1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: R T Phillips| OR: 87

9/1

Yet to make an impact over hurdles and arrives on back of lacklustre efforts on level. Tongue strap on first time.

Form: 6/860-

Baliyad^t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: R Patrick| T: M Sheppard| OR: 87

10/1

Returning from 9 months off when taking 7-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good) 10 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and holds strong claims.

Form: P9085-1

Luna Dora¹¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 71

33/1

Little impact in bumper/3 mares' hurdles and remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement.

Form: 0F-44

Bryanwood^t⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 65

80/1

Hasn't shown much over hurdles and easily opposable from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 9996-8

Forecasts

Henri Le Bon (2/1), Belle Na Bann (4/1), Denable (5/1), Bravethewaves (8/1), Keep It Brief (9/1), Baliyad (10/1), Bbob Alula (20/1), Syr Maffos (20/1), Martalmix'jac (22/1), Luna Dora (33/1), Torino (33/1), Clean Getaway (80/1), Bryanwood (80/1)

BELLE NA BANN is going the right way and can extend her winning run. Baliyad and Henri Le Bon head the list of dangers.
