Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: R Spencer| OR: 79| D

11/8

Useful jumps winner who showed fairly useful form when runner-up first 2 outings in this sphere. Failed to meet expectations at Chelmsford last time but will find this trip more suitable now handicapping.

Form: 227

East End Girl^p⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: A Ralph| OR: 75| D

40/1

Stepped up markedly on her reappearance effort in first-time cheekpieces when running out a wide-margin winner of a 4-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 2/1) 86 days ago. Subsequently left Lucy Wadham's yard for 10,000 gns.

Form: 4159-51

Two Auld Pals⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: J S Goldie| OR: 74

16/5

Thriving sort who won over 17f at Carlisle in June and has scored twice at Hamilton (both 13.1f) since. 4 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

Form: 211221

Tuddenham Green³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 73| D

4/1

Still searching for first win in this sphere but deserves credit for consistency, coming from further back than the pair that beat him in 13-runner handicap at Nottingham (16f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Respected.

Form: 4/33-233

(3)

Baez¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 72| D

10/3

Better than ever at present, completing a hat-trick in 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh (18.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago, driven out to fend off another that's been thriving of late. Ought to remain competitive from only a 3 lb higher mark.

Stonific^b,t¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: G Hanmer| OR: 65| D

100/1

Has regressed over jumps and ran to only a modest level back on the Flat over C&D recently. Others preferred.

Robeam^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45| D

150/1

Unreliable type. Ran better than for a while on most recent jumps start but made heavy weather of it and hard to fancy back on the Flat.

Form: 6-75600

Forecasts

Wonderwall (11/8), Two Auld Pals (16/5), Baez (10/3), Tuddenham Green (4/1), Justus (12/1), East End Girl (40/1), Stonific (100/1), Robeam (150/1)

TWO AULD PALS is the in the form of his life at present and the step back up in trip has the potential to trigger further improvement, so he's a very appealing candidate. Baez is another who's thriving currently and warrants respect, as does Tuddenham Green, who's proving consistent.
