Getaman^b⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 87

10/11

Opened account at Perth (2m) in July and runner-up at Stratford next time. Stamina stretched under an aggressive ride when fourth over 21f at Newton Abbot latest. Much respected back down in trip.

Form: 3B2124

Racks Cross^t1⁷⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: B S Hughes| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 77

5/2

Modest maiden hurdler. Shaped better than the distance suggests when 22 lengths fourth on 3m Perth chase debut in June, weakening 2 out. Now down in trip with a tongue tie added. Brian Hughes retains the ride.

Form: 5/647-54

Begoodtoyourself^b³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: C N Kellett| OR: 76

7/2

Finally get off the mark over fences at Huntingdon in June and ran creditably to be placed at Market Rasen and Uttoxeter in July. Does need to shrug off a poor run last time, though.

Form: P-21327

Deerfoot^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 64

16/1

Modest maiden hurdler/chaser who has more bad efforts than good ones to his name.

Form: 34-354P

Forecasts

Getaman (10/11), Spark Of Madness (11/10), Racks Cross (5/2), Begoodtoyourself (7/2), Living's Boy An Co (13/2), Deerfoot (16/1)

There could be more to come from SPARK OF MADNESS over fences so he's preferred to Getaman, who promises to be suited by the drop back in trip. Racks Cross may prove best of the rest.
