7/1

Produced a career best when notching his fourth win of the season at Doncaster in September but found things too competitive trying to tackle the Irish Cesarewitch from a career-high mark last time. Eased bit more in weights but others appeal as better treated.

4/1

Scored at Carlisle earlier last month before producing a career best to follow up in a 5-runner handicap at Catterick (13.9f, soft, 6/1) 21 days ago. This race is tougher but she's clearly in the form of her life.

9/4

Better than ever when landing valuable 20-runner handicap hurdle at Aintree (16.5f, good to soft) in April, Was capable of fairly useful form when last seen on the Flat in 2020, and market appeals as best guide to expectations on return.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: M Wigham| OR: 80| CD

15/2

Has already scored 3 times this season, winning by a wide margin at Beverley in August before producing a clear career best from out of the blue when causing an upset in 12-runner handicap at this C&D (soft) 21 days ago. 5 lb higher mark demands more but can't de discounted.

16/1

Produced another creditable effort when fourth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Redcar (14f, good) 7 days ago. Emphasis was on speed on that occasion though, and others more persuasive stepping up further in trip.

Form: 4-88624

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 74| D

6/1

French maiden winner who opened his account in this country when taking Doncaster handicap (2m, heavy) in April. Mid-field at Nottingham last time and others make more appeal, despite having edged back down the weights.

Has a good record at Nottingham and again ran well there when third in a 14-runner staying contest at that track last month. Remains on a workable mark and isn't entirely discounted.

ARRANGE impressed with the way she travelled when gaining her second consecutive win at Carlisle last time and is fancied to complete the hat-trick back up in trip. September Power also took her form to a new level when winning over C&D last time and is also respected, whilst Mr Curiosity is another player on the form of August's fourth here.
