Anightinlambourn^p³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Lorcan Williams| T: B Pauling| OR: 120

14/1

Progressive over fences in the second half of 2022. Pulled up twice at Cheltenham in the spring but shaped as if back in form when seventh of 16 in Summer Cup at Uttoxeter last month. First-time cheekpieces he wore on that occasion are retained now reverting to hurdles.

Form: 121PP-7

Czech Her Out³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112| D

16/1

Resumed from nearly 8 months off with 3m win at Southwell in April. Not in anything like the same form in her 2 outings since. Previously trained by Michael Scudamore.

Form: 3011-6P

Basford^v⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J Candlish| OR: 105| D

6/4

Bumper winner who has scored 4 times over hurdles this summer, producing a dominant display in handicap company at Southwell (3m) last week. That was a thin race but he should still have a big say under a 7 penalty.

Form: 2-21211

Dinoland^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 110

10/3

Cheekpieces on first time (retained), good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25f, good) 23 days ago. Stable's British runners always merit respect.

Form: 8-09342

Doune Castle^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 110| CD

11/2

Fair on his day, resuming winning ways over C&D in June, proving suited by the step back up in trip. An 8 lb rise looks manageable.

Form: 412/0-01

Pammi^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: B S Hughes| T: J S Goldie| OR: 98| CD

12/1

Standing dish around here (5-time C&D winner). Doesn't obviously arrive in form (well held on Flat recently) but she is back on a winning mark.

Form: 2/151-67

Malangen¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 95| C

11/2

Benefited from an enterprising ride when winning a 4-runner race over 2½m here last month. Has stamina to prove now stepping up to 3m and not an obvious one to follow up.

Forecasts

Basford (6/4), Dinoland (10/3), Malangen (11/2), Doune Castle (11/2), Throne Hall (10/1), Pammi (12/1), Anightinlambourn (14/1), Czech Her Out (16/1)

If DOUNE CASTLE is in the same form as when successful over C&D last time he might be able to defy a rise in the weights. The race Basford won at Southwell last week fell apart somewhat but he did it very easily and has to be respected under a 7 lb penalty. John McConnell's Dinoland may prove best of the rest.
