7/2

Won 3 on the bounce during 2021/22 campaign and progressed again on first 2 starts of last season, landing back-to-back 20.7f handicaps at this track (4 course wins in total). Ran creditably on return when fourth at Plumpton (20.5f) 19 days ago and fancied to be in the mix back here.

9/2

Dual winner at Worcester (20f) last year and successful on the Flat at Ffos Las (2m) in July. Upped in trip on his return to hurdling, produced his best effort in this sphere when scoring comfortably at Hereford (25.5f) but bit below that form when third at Market Rasen since.

Form: 531-415

11/1

Exploits distinctly mixed following scoring here last October but returned to form from out of the blue to double career tally at Bangor (19.5f) in September, the increase in trip suiting well. However, failed by a long chalk to back that up at this track since so must bounce back.

Form: 53P-715

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B Roberts⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 93| CD

5/1

Won C&D handicap in February. Ended his time with Charlie Longsdon (sold £9,000 in August) with a below-par effort in April and fared even worse than in a couple of tries over fences previously after 6 months off when tailed off here last month. Now back hurdling with a bit to prove.

Quiet Thunder^b⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Chris Ward| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 84

14/1

In a bit of form over the summer but produced a particularly laboured effort when last seen at Fontwell (21.8f, good) in September. Blinkers back on but she's not one to place too much faith in.

Form: 67P-534

33/1

Dual chase winner in 2020/21 before missing the following campaign. Back over hurdles this year, showed he retains his ability when successful in handicap at Warwick (3m2f) in March, though not in the same form on both subsequent starts. Makes return after 6 months off.

Oceans Red^p,t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 82| BF

11/2

Three-time winner over fences, including twice last season. Possibly needed the run after 5 months off (breathing operation in interim) when fifth of 6 at Sedgefield (26.9f, good to soft) last month and connections now attempt to exploit his lower hurdles mark.

Form: 312P-55

If I Say^p⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 79

6/1

Placed 4 times over fences this summer, latest when a well-beaten third of 8 in handicap at this course (23.6f, good to firm) last month, plugging on past beaten horses late on. More experienced pilot back on board and she's fancied to be in the shake-up.

Form: 8232F3

Counteract^p¹⁹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 76

8/1

Campaigned over fences in recent seasons and standout effort last term came when third at this track 12 months ago. Finished well held having a rare outing over timber at Plumpton (25f, good to firm) when last seen 6 months and given his patchy record, he's probably best watched on return.

Poker Master (7/2), Masterdream (9/2), The Wise Traveller (5/1), Oceans Red (11/2), If I Say (6/1), Counteract (8/1), Anger Management (11/1), Quiet Thunder (14/1), Tis But A Scratch (25/1), Mr Palmtree (33/1)

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to IF I SAY, who finished with running left when well-beaten here last month and, with Lilly Pinchin back in the plate, Charlie Longsdon's 6-y-o can take advantage of a reduced mark back hurdling with headgear applied for just a second time. Oceans Red, Poker Master and Counteract are just a handful of possible dangers.
