Left Martin Keighley on the back of a win in July and made it 2 wins from 3 starts for current connections at Kelso 3 weeks ago, seeing off Balranald. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.
|
Minor promise in his qualifying runs in Ireland and while handicaps are more suitable, this mark demands a lot more.
|
Opened his account in a 15.8f Huntingdon handicap in February. Hit the frame next 3 hurdles outings but off 11 weeks and he was disappointing at Stratford on final run for Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero.
|
Signs of ability when trained by Shane Crawley in Ireland and better form for this yard, off 16 months when runner-up at Southwell a month ago. Same mark here and she's one to consider.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who posted her best effort over timber when third In Doncaster maiden (16.6f) in March. Not disgraced on Kelso handicap debut a month later and off since.
|
Third-place finish at Uttoxeter worked out well and he found only one too good over C&D a week ago. Didn't look particularly willing when push came to shove, though.
|
Hasn't had much racing over hurdles and shaping up nicely in handicaps, placed on his last 3 starts and failed by the narrowest of margins at Kelso 3 weeks ago. Big player from the same mark.
|
No show in 5 starts for her previous yard but is one to monitor in the betting starting out for a new yard from a very modest mark.
|
Has share of temperament/jumping issues but finally put it together when a smooth winner at Market Rasen in August. Travelled with plenty of purpose back fourth back at that venue 11 days ago.
|
Successful over fences here 2021 and finally opened his account over hurdles in a Bangor handicap in May. Back to form at Kelso last time and merits respect.
|
Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) winning at Catterick in July. Regular rider retained and showed some aptitude for hurdling starting out at Market Rasen but well held completed start since.
|
C&D winner in 2021 but he arrives out of sorts and he's out of the weights here.

Forecasts
Leopolds Rock (7/4), Karloss (4/1), A Shining Moon (7/1), Ambassador (15/2), Game Beaaa (9/1), Frisco Queen (12/1), Balranald (14/1), Boundsy Boy (16/1), Strong Team (22/1), Kilkee Royal (33/1), Lady Hamilton (40/1), Point Of Honour (66/1)
A SHINING MOON has been knocking on the door over hurdles, and having come up a nose short at Kelso 3 weeks ago, he can gain compensation from the same mark. Leopolds Rock isn't straightforward but he has it him to be a big factor at this level, with Frisco Queen another to consider.
