3/1
Built on encouraging chase debut effort when taking 9-runner handicap at Worcester (16.5f) in August. Not in same form when third back at that venue 23 days ago but it remains early days with her in this sphere and she holds claims back up in trip.

Useful handicap hurdler. Below that level in 3 chase starts this term, faring no better than previously following 11 weeks off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Warwick (3m) 15 days ago. Mark has eased a little more at least.

17/2
Dual winner in novice handicap hurdles who ran well on 2 of his 4 starts last season. Unseated first at Hereford (19.7f) when last seen back in May but no surprise to see him make a good fist of things back from 5 months off/on chase debut.

5/2
A fair 2m winner over hurdles who made the frame on each of his first 5 starts over fences prior to a lesser effort when fourth of 5 in handicap at Perth (23.8f) 4 weeks ago. Bold, attacking style can see him bounce back returned to this shorter trip.

Successful over hurdles at Market Rasen (20.5f) in May and Worcester (23f) in July. Respectable third back on the Flat at Nottingham last month but ran poorly back hurdling after 6 weeks off at Perth recently. Will need to leave that effort well behind returned to chasing.

11/1
Fair maiden hurdler who was fitted with first-time cheekpieces when a good second of 7 in handicap at Hereford (19.7f) in February. Poor efforts on final 2 starts in that sphere last term so he needs to hit ground running now chasing/after 6 months off.

Forecasts

The Gypsy Davey (5/2), Itso Fury (11/4), Isabella Bee (3/1), Just Loose Change (17/2), Iron Heart (17/2), Iron D'ex (11/1)

Verdict

ISABELLA BEE was a shade disappointing on her most recent start, yet she'd previously looked one to keep on side when successful in good style at Worcester in August. She's worth another chance to get back on the up returned to this longer trip. The Gypsy Davey, for all he's become expensive to follow, looks likely to make a bold bid in front. Just Loose Change is another to note on his chase debut.
