Global Famenglory^p¹²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 105

8/1

Maiden but fitted with cheekpieces and found only one too good in 4-runner novice at Warwick in May. Off the track since and tackles a new trip but she's in top hands.

Form: 6/22-3F2

Imperial B G¹⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: James Turner⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 105

4/1

Fair bumper winner but he's struggled to match that form over hurdles, off the track since beating only one at Warwick in May. Needs to hit the ground running but yard's record with inmates from a break is a good one.

Form: 436P2-9

Astroman⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 100| CD

5/1

Belatedly off the mark (fortunate winner) in maiden hurdle at Stratford in May and followed up under a penalty back in a handicap over C&D. Looked in the grip of the assessor since.

Form: 134444

San Pedro^p¹⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Freddie Gordon⁽³⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 97| CD

9/4

Aided by first-time cheekpieces when opening his account over hurdles at Lingfield (23f) in February and he went in again over this C&D when last seen in May. Since left Paul Henderson and joined a yard with a really positive record with new recruits.

Form: 31P64-1

Hilltown¹³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Daniel Sansom| T: J W Mullins| OR: 87

13/2

Fortunate winner at Plumpton (25f, soft) in April. Fourth place both outings since and not yet exposed on return to action.

Form: 4041-44

Corrany^b⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Lily Pinchin| T: R T Phillips| OR: 87

18/1

Has struggled over fences lately but a return to hurdles seemed to have sparked a revival when third at Stratford in July. Ran no sort of race over the larger obstacles when last seen in August but slightly more reliable over timber.

Form: P0-VP3P

Stiletto^p,t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Kimber| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 87

9/2

Modest on the Flat (down the field at Bath in August) but has shown some aptitude for hurdling, fourth in handicap company at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago (23.3f). Didn't look totally straightforward in the process and this trip isn't sure to suit,

Form: 2-444

Mawlood^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: G Howell| OR: 66| C

100/1

Dual hurdles winner in 2021 but little to shout about since, both in this sphere and over fences. Long way out of the weights.

Form: 354969

Forecasts

San Pedro (9/4), Imperial B G (4/1), Stiletto (9/2), Astroman (5/1), Hilltown (13/2), Global Famenglory (8/1), Corrany (18/1), Mawlood (100/1)

SAN PEDRO was a winner when last seen in the spring and having since transferred to an excellent stable it would come as no surprise were he to pick up where he left off. Global Famenglory is a threat if her stamina holds out, with Imperial B G another to consider back from a break.
