Beauty To Behold^h,t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: R M Smith| OR: 98

7/2

Still a maiden in this sphere but ran well on yard debut (formerly with Patrick Neville) when third of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D 23 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 843-233

Morandi Second¹⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-13| J: K Brogan| T: P Neville| OR: 100

10/1

Fair French maiden on the Flat. More polished on third hurdles start switched to a handicap when second at Doncaster but below par when last of 4 in juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running.

Form: 2424-

Prince Nino^p,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 90| CD

7/2

C&D winner in August. Only eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, soft) 14 days ago so needs to bounce back.

Form: 643-318

Dot Cotton^h,t⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: R M Smith| OR: 87

11/2

Still to register a win but she comes here in good nick, strong-travelling fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, soft) 73 days ago. Player back in trip off a 3 lb lower mark.

Form: 3767-75

Monoxide^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: N McCluskey| OR: 85

20/1

Remains a maiden after 30 runs. 8/1, unseated rider 6th in handicap chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, good) 14 days ago. Switches to hurdles and needs more.

Form: 4U755U

Solway Molly¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 84

9/2

Yet to add to her bumper success and shaped as though a return to further would suit when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 16 days ago, best work finish. Can give a good account now.

Form: 33P-622

Ultra Violet^p⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 79

9/2

Remains a maiden after 17 runs but in good form until only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle here (23.9f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted and sort to bounce back.

Form: 5-44346

Solway Staree¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 72

33/1

Poor form shown thus far over hurdles and she offered little on her handicap hurdle debut at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 16 days ago. Lots more is required.

Form: 8-4733P

Abouttimeyoutoldme⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 69

40/1

Poor maiden hurdler who offered little on chase debut (sole start for Paul Robson) in May and when back in this sphere on yard bow at Hexham last time. Hard to fancy.

Form: P9/6P-P0

Ile De Memoires^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: S Mulqueen| T: M A Barnes| OR: 62

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Off 11 months before well-held eighth of 10 in novice hurdle here (16.2f, good) 23 days ago. Up in trip for her handicap debut with lots to prove.

Form: 06P-8

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Prince Nino (7/2), Beauty To Behold (7/2), Ultra Violet (9/2), Solway Molly (9/2), Dot Cotton (11/2), Morandi Second (10/1), Monoxide (20/1), Solway Staree (33/1), Abouttimeyoutoldme (40/1), Ivynator (50/1), Ile De Memoires (150/1)

DOT COTTON has yet to get her head in front but went strongly for a long way when fifth at Cartmel last time and can capitalise on a 3 lb lower mark back in trip now. Fellow maiden Beauty To Behold is feared most on the back of her good recent C&D third, with Solway Molly and Ultra Violet appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
