Champ Royal^p,t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett| OR: 95| D

12/1

Opened his account in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f) in July but not in the same form next time. Didn't jump well when pulled up on chase debut on his latest outing, so he needs to get back on track as he makes his first start since leaving Neil Mulholland.

Atomic Angel¹⁷⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 91| CD

10/1

C&D winner who got back to winning ways at Catterick (25.3f) in January. Had the run of the race when adding to her tally at Sedgefield (27f) in April, but she's capable of getting involved if ready to go on her return.

Colonel Manderson^b,t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: D R Fox| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 90| CD

5/1

Fair 3m hurdles winner for Dan Skelton and, having dropped in the weights for his current yard, revived in first-time blinkers when successful at this C&D a month ago. Remains well treated on old form so he enters calculations.

Form: 05P681

The Longest Day^p,t⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 90

9/2

Finally off the mark in handicap at Perth (23.9f) in August and followed up at the same C&D 17 days later, in command near finish having idled run-in. Going through a good spell at present, so he's not taken lightly in is his bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 2-32511

Event Of Sivola^p¹⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 85| C

5/1

Successful over fences at this course (31.9f) in November and ran well when third on both subsequent starts here last season. Rare below-par effort at this venue in May, but he can bounce back off his lower hurdles mark with cheekpieces reapplied.

Form: 55353-4

September Daisy¹⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 82| CD

17/2

Back on track when third behind the reopposing Dillarchie at Wetherby (24.1f) in April and, from 6 lb out of the weights, built on that effort when getting off the mark at this C&D the following month. Could still have more to offer at staying trips.

Form: 63503-1

Solway Primrose²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 74

28/1

Didn't offer much in a trio of novice hurdles last season, but after 10 months off she showed more when fourth of 6 on handicap debut at Perth (23.9f) 25 days ago. Needs to take another step forward with her recent run behind her.

Form: 6/402-4

Confelicity⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 78

7/1

Showed improved form when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f) in September, rallying until close home, and shaped as if still in good form under more testing conditions when fifth at the same course (20.2f) 9 days ago. More required.

Form: 535P35

Robbie Dazzler^t1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: R Patrick| T: M Scudamore| OR: 72

10/3

Remains a maiden but returned to his best after a wind op when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f) in June. However, well below form both starts since and tongue strap now reached for. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Robbie Dazzler (10/3), The Longest Day (9/2), Event Of Sivola (5/1), Colonel Manderson (5/1), Confelicity (7/1), September Daisy (17/2), Atomic Angel (10/1), Blended Stealth (10/1), Champ Royal (12/1), Dillarchie (20/1), Solway Primrose (28/1), That's Me Finished (33/1)

Successful over fences here last year, EVENT OF SIVOLA can leave a rare below-par effort behind and take advantage of his lower hurdles mark with cheekpieces reapplied on his return. The Longest Day arrives bidding for a hat-trick and is feared most, with Colonel Manderson completing the shortlist.
