Age: 6| Weight: 12-4| J: David Prichard⁽⁵⁾| T: Claire Harris| OR: 119| C| D

6/5

Three-time winner last year who equipped with a first-time tongue strap, got back on track 9 weeks on from his reappearance fall when scoring at Newton Abbot on Monday, getting there late on a track that probably didn't suit him ideally. Very quick turnaround but in the mix.

Form: 1432-F1

Glimpse Of Gala¹⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 122| CD

5/2

Forged clear to gain her third win of last season at Ludlow in March but unable to land a blow in a more competitive event at Ayr a month later, her jumping put under pressure. Back in trip for this reappearance and fancied to feature if ready to roll.

Zyon¹⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Page Fuller| T: A West| OR: 119| D

16/1

Back to winning ways sporting first-time blinkers when last seen at Kempton 5 months ago, taking his course record to 2-2. That was a weak race though, and the headgear is left off on reappearance.

Form: 341P9-1

Dagueneau^p,t1²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 119| D

11/2

Dual novice hurdle winner who probably needed the run after 17 months off when pulled up before 3 out at Worcester last month. First-time tongue tie applied today and a better showing is anticipated.

Form: 25064/P

Souriyan^t¹⁰⁰⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 112| D

80/1

Hurdles/dual chase winner last season who was badly out of sorts when last seen back in December 2019. This should reveal what ability remains.

Form: 11P640/

Coldstream²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: J E Moore| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 105

11/2

Fair maiden on the Flat who showed some promise starting out over hurdles when third at Sligo (16.9f) in July. Confirmed that promise 8 weeks on for his new yard when winning at Uttoxeter just over 3 weeks ago and he's interesting moving into handicaps.

Forecasts

Getalead (6/5), Glimpse Of Gala (5/2), Coldstream (11/2), Dagueneau (11/2), Zyon (16/1), Souriyan (80/1)

Cases can be made for most but preference is for GLIMPSE OF GALA. Charlie Longsdon's charge enjoyed a productive campaign last season with 3 successes (including over C&D), so provided she's ready to roll after 6 months off, she's fancied to make a winning reappearance. Getalead got up late in the piece at Newton Abbot on Monday so he's feared most under a penalty, while Coldstream is an interesting runner now moving into handicaps.
