Whitehaven^t²⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 99

12/1

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 16.5f) but tailed off at Chester on final outing in that sphere in May and went the wrong way from an encouraging hurdling debut prior to that. Something to prove.

Form: 355-

El Jefe^h,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 89| CD

2/1

Justified support when ending a long losing run in 8-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy, 6/4) 12 days ago. Ought to go well again.

Form: 43-0231

For Three^p,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 88| BF

6/4

Attracted plenty of support and shaped well in a first-time tongue strap on first run since leaving Mark Weatherer when second in 10-runner C&D handicap (soft, 9/4) 19 days ago. Remains well treated on old form following a 4 lb rise.

Form: 43-7052

Mr Rumbalicious^h⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 88| D

11/1

Successful twice on the level back in the spring and overcame market weakness to make a winning handicap hurdle debut in 8-runner event at Cartmel (17.2f) in August. Nudged up 3 lb but may have more to offer.

Form: 525-1

Hide Out^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Henry Brooke| T: D Brooke| OR: 84

28/1

Long-standing maiden who offered little on first run since leaving P. J. Rothwell when pulled up in C&D handicap 19 days ago, dropping away quickly 3 out. Enough to prove.

Form: 0489-8P

Fairland^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR: 84

50/1

Poor maiden hurdler who ran no sort of race after 4 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f, soft) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 11657P

Grifter^t,v¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 83

33/1

Regressive on the Flat and achieved little in 3 runs over hurdles last season.

Form: 503-

Zara's Universe¹⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: J Kington| T: A Crook| OR: 83| CD

22/1

Took a couple of handicap chases at the end of last season but had winning run ended at Newcastle in May and it's possible she may just need this reappearance run back over hurdles after 6 months off.

Form: 83311-7

Coup De Gold¹⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 79

5/1

Poor strike rate (1-29 in this sphere) and while he put in a good shift when fourth of 10 at Hexham (16.2f, good) on his final outing in June, chances are he will again find one or two too good.

Form: 533-764

Robin Goodfellow¹⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Ross Chapman| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 77

100/1

Poor maiden on Flat and little form over hurdles. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 34P47-

Forecasts

For Three (6/4), El Jefe (2/1), Coup De Gold (5/1), Mr Rumbalicious (11/1), Whitehaven (12/1), Zara's Universe (22/1), Hide Out (28/1), Grifter (33/1), Fairland (50/1), Robin Goodfellow (100/1)

FOR THREE shaped well setting out for a new yard from his much-reduced mark when runner-up over C&D 19 days ago, so he's the percentage call to go one better. Last-time-out winners El Jefe and Mr Rumbalicious head the opposition.
