9/4

Point winner who has been narrowly denied in a pair of Cartmel handicaps since switching to fences. Disappointed in first-time cheekpieces (left off here) behind Onenightintown at Market Rasen (21.4f) in August but far too soon to be writing him off.

Form: 7-52228

Jessica Rabbit^t³⁵

7/2

Ended lengthy losing run over hurdles at Uttoxeter (20f) in June prior to very good second at Worcester later that month. Has had excuses since and interesting to see what the market makes of her now chasing.

Form: 54-1265

Nefyn Point^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 92| C

5/2

Ended long losing run (on back of 7 months off) at Market Rasen (17.2f) in June. Disappointed next 3 starts but did at least return to form when runner-up in 7-runner C&D handicap 26 days ago. Claims if he can back that up.

Form: 8-15452

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 77

7/1

Dual point winner who made more impact than previously under Rules before stamina seemed to run dry when third in 4-runner Perth handicap hurdle (3m) 3 weeks ago. She's worth another try over larger obstacles on balance back down in trip.

Form: 6-37843

Onenightintown^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 76| D

5/1

Temperamental sort who benefited from a strong pace when landing Market Rasen handicap chase last month. Filled the frame both starts since (including over C&D) but likely he'll need everything to drop just right.

POST NO BILLS needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Market Rasen, yet he raced closer to the pace than ideal on that occasion and, having twice gone close at Cartmel previously, he could be worth siding with to bounce back. Nefyn Point rates next best.
