9/2

In fine form last winter, success at Uttoxeter flanked by runner-up efforts at Hereford and Southwell. Went with plenty of zest when second at Warwick in May and 3 lb rise since doesn't leave her handicapped out of things.

Form: 59212-2

Ballintubber Boy^p¹⁸¹

11/2

Winner of a C&D maiden and Hereford novice on first 2 starts in this sphere last autumn. Unable to continue the good work in handicaps later in the season (jumping poorly) but given a major chance by the assessor on return.

125/1

Useful chaser in his pomp (course winner) but lightly raced since 2019 and doesn't look to retain much ability. Lowly handicap mark over hurdles does at least give him a chance.

Form: 7PP/PP4-

Every Breakin Wave^b1,t²⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: Claire Hitch| OR: 108| CD

40/1

Maiden/C&D novice hurdle winner in summer 2021 but no impact in a trio of handicaps since returning to action. Passed over in change of headgear.

Form: 112-P6P

George Bancroft^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 105

15/2

Flat winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Fontwell last autumn. Hasn't progressed as might have been hoped since but last month's Uttoxeter run on the back of a wind op was a shade more promising.

Form: 2UP3-26

Land Of My Delight⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 99

5/2

Progressive form over hurdles staying on well finish second in 2m contest at Worcester on handicap debut in July. Upped markedly in trip and capable of better.

Form: 005-2

Dynamic Kate^p,t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 98| D

7/4

Finally found her feet over hurdles, landing a brace of 21.8f handicap at Fontwell in recent weeks. Up 8 lb but hard to rule her out now she's thriving.

Form: 3-3U121

Forecasts

Dynamic Kate (7/4), Land Of My Delight (5/2), Kazontherazz (9/2), Dellboy Trotter (5/1), Ballintubber Boy (11/2), George Bancroft (15/2), Every Breakin Wave (40/1), Some Buckle (125/1)

This trip is an unknown for LAND OF MY DELIGHT but he's going the right way over hurdles and definitely has a bigger performance in him, so it's worth risking his stamina. Dynamic Kate is thriving so has to command respect, while the assessor has given Ballintubber Boy a big chance on his reappearance.
