17/2

Consistent Flat/hurdles winner who cemented positive start over fences when second of 7 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good) last month. Ran poorly in a first-time visor back over timber at Market Rasen most recently and quickly switches back to fences in reapplied cheekpieces.

Form: 224-220

Fearless^p⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: D Brooke| OR: 112| D

12/1

Struggling for consistency at present and ran another of his lesser races retried in headgear when tenth of 13 in handicap at Uttoxeter (16f, good to soft) just over 7 weeks ago. Handicapper continues to relinquish his grip, but tough to support with much confidence.

Form: 3U5-360

Isabella Bee³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112| D

7/2

Three-time hurdles winner last season who shaped well sent chasing when second of 10 in handicap at this course (20f, good) last month. Every chance she will build on that for a top yard.

Form: 116-532

Stroll On By³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 112| D

5/1

Resumed winning ways in 7-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen in June and ran well having been raised 6 lb back there (17.2f, good to firm) last month. Nudged up another 2 lb and every chance that he will be in the shake-up.

Form: 135-612

Magistrato^t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 110| D

7/2

Largely consistent following a switch from Paul Nicolls last spring and cashed in from steadily easing mark when making all at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good) 45 days ago. Respected up 5 lb.

Form: 522-331

Jeudidee^t⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 108| CD

6/1

Bumper/hurdles winner who wasn't seen to best effect at Warwick on return when sixth in May. In the process of running well sent chasing before falling heavily 3 out at Stratford (17f, good) just over 11 weeks ago and given time to get over that spill. Entitled to improve.

Form: 1313-6F

Flight Of Freedom⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 106| D

8/1

Won a 2m mares' novice on Warwick hurdle debut last October. Failed to come on for return when down the field at Ludlow (15.8f, good to firm) back in May and now attentions are switched to the larger obstacles after 99 days off the track.

Form: 5/1244-7

Fame And Fun^t⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 102

16/1

Dual 19f hurdles winner in 2022/23. Scored over fences at Plumpton (19.8f) in March too but well below that level on all 3 runs since, including in cheekpieces at Newton Abbot just under 8 weeks ago. In top hands but arrives with plenty to prove.

Form: P513-7P

No Recollection^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 93| CD

33/1

Has mixed between Flat and hurdles this summer with little success, finishing tailed-off last on the level at Newcastle (10.2f) just over 3 weeks ago. Hard to see him featuring on chase debut, but worth a cursory market check for a shrewd outfit.

Form: 90P4-37

Forecasts

Isabella Bee (7/2), Magistrato (7/2), Stroll On By (5/1), Jeudidee (6/1), Flight Of Freedom (8/1), Nibras Gold (17/2), Ittack Blue (10/1), Fearless (12/1), Fame And Fun (16/1), No Recollection (33/1)

Lots in with chances but the vote goes to ISABELLA BEE, who can have her chasing debut second upgraded given she came from further back than the pair she split so Fergal O'Brien's 7-y-o can go one better at the expense of Stroll On By, who is going through a good spell at the moment. Jeudidee has been given time to get over a heavy fall, so he rounds off the shortlist provided that hasn't left it's mark.
