10/1

Ex-Gordon Elliott inmate who has gradually found her feet for this stable and recorded a career-best effort to score at Uttoxeter last time. Should go well again.

Form: 05-3151

Lucky Lover Boy^p,t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Fergus Gillard| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 101| BF| CD

13/8

In excellent form lately, scoring twice before a solid effort in second at Stratford last month. Should give another good account.

Form: 612112

Oakmont⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt| OR: 95

7/1

Not at best so far this term but is at least back to an appealing mark and there was some encouragement when mid-field behind Lucky Lover Boy at Sedgefield last time. Not dismissed.

Form: 53-4F36

Flylikeaneagle^t⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan Doyle| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 94

4/1

Just modest form in testing ground over hurdles in Ireland but has developed into a fair handicapper on the Flat for current stable, so he's potentially well treated back in this sphere.

Form: 476/0-

Game Beaaa¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Bruce Lynn| T: D Bourke| OR: 94

16/1

Exceeded expectations when runner-up on first start over hurdles at Tramore in August. Has failed to build on that, however, let down by jumping on both outings for current yard.

Form: 02537

She's A Rocca^t⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁸⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 91| BF| CD

10/3

Scored at Southwell (2m) in June but she came in only seventh of 8 in 2m4f handicap at Perth 66 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 31-3517

Danking^p⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: A Crook| OR: 83

40/1

Poor maiden nowadays on Flat and hurdles form doesn't amount to much.

Form: 6P-35

Strong Team^p⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Thomas Willmott| T: C Grant| OR: 73| D

25/1

Struggling for form lately, including back on the Flat, and he's up against it again from out of the weights.

Form: P-04P57

Forecasts

Lucky Lover Boy (13/8), She's A Rocca (10/3), Flylikeaneagle (4/1), Oakmont (7/1), Desaray Girl (8/1), Saywhatyouwant (10/1), Game Beaaa (16/1), Strong Team (25/1), Danking (40/1)

FLYLIKEANEAGLE has shown fair form on the Flat since joining this stable and, while he didn't show a great deal over hurdles in Ireland, that was on ground more testing than ideal, so he's worth a chance to make a winning return to this discipline off a potentially lenient mark. Saywhatyouwant and Lucky Lover Boy both arrive in good order and look like dangers to the selection.
