Mac's Xpress^p,t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Ellam| OR: 98

14/1

Still looking for first success but arrives on back of good fifth of 12 in 2m4f Worcester handicap hurdle last month on his final run for Paul Gilligan, faring best of those held up. One to consider for his new yard.

Form: 574475

No Way Pedro¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Robbie David⁽⁷⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 93

25/1

Scored at Worcester in July but only tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle there (23f, good) 13 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 413950

Hugueneau^t⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Sutton⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 89

9/1

A winner at Huntingdon in May and ran to a similar level upped to 23f when sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Worcester 68 days ago. Likely to go well again after a break over this longer trip.

Form: 42-P146

Horizon D'or^t³²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West| OR: 86| BF| CD

9/1

C&D winner but he turned in a poor effort when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f, heavy) 10 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return.

Form: 521717-

Danzini^t³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Adam Wedge| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 85| CD

9/1

C&D winner in May and shaped as if in need of the run when ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) 33 days ago. Needs considering with that run under her belt.

Form: 7336-19

Gone In Sixty²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 83

5/1

Remains a maiden after 23 runs but he recorded a good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, good) 28 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 7-53322

Lady Harriett²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 78

10/3

Improved since tackling 3m+ and posted an excellent second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (25.4f, heavy) 29 days ago. Expected to be bang there in her bid for a breakthrough success.

Form: 800582

Rubys Reward^t³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 76| CD

11/2

C&D winner who comes here on the back of a creditable second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) 33 days ago. Not ruled out.

Form: P5-4852

Crookbarrow¹⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 74

66/1

Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Plumpton (25f, good) 163 days ago. Others look better treated at these weights though.

Form: PPP5P5-

Bella Cavalla^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 71

9/2

Temperamental sort but not disgraced when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle here (21.8f, good to firm) 25 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 88P-354

Pour Une Raison¹¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Godfrey| T: H Brown| OR: 68| D

40/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021 and only eighth of 12 at Plumpton (25f, good to firm) 16 months ago on final run for Richard Mitchell. Has plenty to find from 4 lb out of the handicap.

Form: UP-45U6

Forecasts

Lady Harriett (10/3), Bella Cavalla (9/2), Gone In Sixty (5/1), Rubys Reward (11/2), Luna Run (7/1), Danzini (9/1), Horizon D'or (9/1), Hugueneau (9/1), Mac's Xpress (14/1), No Way Pedro (25/1), Pour Une Raison (40/1), Crookbarrow (66/1)

LADY HARRIETT hasn't looked back since sent over staying trips and is weighted to gain a maiden victory here on the back of her excellent Cartmel second. Hugueneau could emerge as the main danger now his stamina is drawn out more with Gone In Sixty and Danzini also in the mix.
