11/4

Successful over fences here in September and shaped encouragingly back over hurdles after 6 months off when sixth of 14 in handicap at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 37 days ago, considerately handled. Shortlist material.

Form: 0/2321-6

12/1

Long-standing maiden who ran one of her lesser races when pulled up in a Stratford handicap 24 days ago. She's generally consistent so appeals as the type to bounce back quickly.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: M Goldstein| T: P Butler| OR: 72

Poor maiden who was pulled up in C&D handicap on most recent outing. Cheekpieces need to give her a big lift.
