Off time: 19:10 | Winning time: 3m 49.40s

King Otis^p,t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 100| D

25/1

Resumed winning ways at Fakenham in June and good efforts next 2 outings, including when perhaps making his effort a shade earlier than ideal in a well-run race at Cartmel. However, seems to have gone off the boil since.

Form: 1328F7

Caldwell¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Lewis Stones| T: J Candlish| OR: 99| CD

10/3

Won twice on AW Flat for Ivan Furtado last winter and confirmed the promise of last run when resuming winning ways in emphatic fashion over C&D in July. Solid efforts back on the Flat subsequently and ought to give another good account.

Form: P5P-531

Ikigai Star⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁸⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 99| D

10/1

Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) for Joseph O'Brien and quickly dispelled a lesser effort over hurdles when landing 10-runner Huntingdon maiden (15.8f) in May. However, handed a stiff opening mark and well beaten at Bangor since.

Form: 4-615

Scintillante¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁸⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 98

16/5

Produced an effort more in keeping with his Flat form when second of 11 in a C&D maiden (good) 10 days ago. Into handicaps now and big chance if reproducing that.

Form: 7B5252

Electric Eddy⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: James Turner⁽⁶⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 94| BF

5/1

Modest maiden hurdler with some good efforts to his name but proved to be a disappointment back in maiden company at Stratford (16.3f, good) 59 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 94-7328

Cusano⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 95| BF

18/1

Fairly useful on the Flat but just modest form in 4 runs over hurdles, disappointing back in a maiden at Stratford in July. Improvement required.

Form: 4244

Kintaro^b⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁶⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 93

12/1

Ran below previous form contesting his first handicap over jumps when only ninth of 12 at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Change of headgear.

Form: 8329

Tip Top Tonto^p⁹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Ellis Collier⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 89

50/1

Bounced back to his best to register a first success at Fakenham in April but ran no sort of race on first outing for this yard at Fontwell in June. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 2541-4P

Hedera Park^h¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Joe Anderson| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 87| C

12/1

Course winner who looked all set to cash in on a reduced mark only to crash out at the last in handicap at this course (20f, good) 10 days ago, travelling strongly. Obvious player if none the worse.

Form: 4-9906F

Kirkuila²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G Brown| OR: 88

150/1

Modest maiden on the Flat. Ran to a similar level when fifth on hurdling debut at Cork in October but well beaten all 3 starts since so has lots to prove on handicap debut.

Form: 5P-98

Vision Of Hope³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Bromley| T: S Pearce| OR: 83| D

14/1

Almost capitalised on a slipping mark over C&D in July. Poor effort back on the Flat since but can't be discounted back over hurdles.

Form: 094-672

Bluebella^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁶⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 80| CD

13/2

C&D winner who failed to build on the promise of her Stratford effort when only eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 20 days ago.

Form: F35-P60

Non-Runners

Bravethewaves⁵⁰⁸

Weight: 11-3| Age: 7

T: O Greenall & J Guerriero J: Toby Wynne

Forecasts

Scintillante (16/5), Caldwell (10/3), Electric Eddy (5/1), Bluebella (13/2), Ikigai Star (10/1), Kintaro (12/1), Hedera Park (12/1), Vision Of Hope (14/1), Bravethewaves (16/1), Cusano (18/1), King Otis (25/1), Tip Top Tonto (50/1), Kirkuila (150/1)

SCINTILLANTE produced an effort more in keeping with his Flat form when runner-up in a C&D maiden 10 days ago and looks up to going one better on this switch to handicaps if he can reproduce it. Hedera Park had the race at her mercy when falling at the last here on her most recent outing and is sure to pose a big threat if none the worse, with Caldwell also of interest having taken advantage of a reduced mark in emphatic fashion over C&D in July.
