10/3
Bumper winner in 2019 and finally off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good to soft) in September. Back on track when second at Stratford in June and she's entitled to step up on her opening chase effort in what is a modest heat.

3/1
Dual winner in points who confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut when landing 11-runner maiden at Newton Abbot in July. Switched to fences for handicap debut and there's lots to like.

7/1
Winner of back-to-back juvenile hurdles in 2021 but has struggled in handicaps since, including on recent chase debut. Stamina for this far to prove.

Hasn't shown much form since 2020 and looks set for another struggle unless the switch to fences prompts a revival.

9/4
Maiden hurdler but ran just about as well as he ever has when fourth at Uttoxeter in July. 4 lb out of the weights switched to fences.

Established as very modest but he may have needed the run on last month's return/stable debut.

Forecasts

One Man Party (9/4), Frankie Faulkner (3/1), Paris Dixie (10/3), Janeslittlevoice (7/1), Scrappy Jack (7/1), King Of The Story (18/1)

Verdict

FRANKIE FAULKNER rather stands out on profile as a last-time-out hurdles winner who switches to fences in a very winnable handicap. He can also call upon success between the flags so he's a fairly obvious choice, with Paris Dixie the main threat.

  1. Frankie Faulkner3/1
  2. Paris Dixie10/3
  3. One Man Party9/4
