4/1

Rather had run of race when making successful debut over hurdles in 7-runner novice at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) 24 days ago. However, likely has more to offer yet and holds solid claims.

Form: 2242-31

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

9/4

Above-average bumper performer who made a comfortable winning start in this sphere in novice at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) 56 days ago. Open to improvement and will be a player if handling slower conditions here.

11/4

£30,000 5-y-o, Soldier of Fortune mare. Won at third time of asking in points last year and has since joined shrewd yard. Worth monitoring in market on hurdles bow. Wears tongue strap.

33/1

Fair performer in bumpers, posting respectable fifth on return at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft, 12/1) 43 days ago. Upped in trip for hurdling debut and can't be discounted.

Form: 375-5

Bethka^t1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: K Brogan| T: J & A O'Neill

10/3

Showed fair form when placed twice from 3 starts in bumpers and better effort over hurdles when fourth in Market Rasen novice (20.6f, good to soft) last time. Tongue strap is on and there's likely more to come.

Form: 203-64

Jalisco Star²¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: L Horsfall

40/1

Placed both starts in Irish points but went backwards from Rules debut in bumper at this course when last seen in May and is best watched on hurdles bow for new connections.

Form: 326-8

Step It Out Goldie²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Freddie Gordon⁽⁵⁾| T: C Gordon

9/1

Showed ability in Irish bumper earlier this year but looked one for longer term when fourth of 9 in novice at this course (17.7f, soft) on hurdles/yard debut 23 days ago.

Forecasts

Kay Tara Tara (9/4), Ask Lileen (11/4), Bethka (10/3), Easy To Follow (4/1), Stuti (4/1), Step It Out Goldie (9/1), Batwomen (33/1), Jalisco Star (40/1)

Preference is for BETHKA, who shaped better than the bare result at Market Rasen last month and remains open to improvement. Stuti and Easy To Follow rate the principal dangers.
