Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 98

10/1

Improved when runner-up in handicap at Wexford (17.2f) in May, before seeming stretched by longer trip when seventh of 18 at Listowel (20.4f, good) the following month. Cheekpieces applied on first run for yard after leaving Declan Queally.

Lady Henrietta²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 92

12/1

Showed more when runner-up in a Stratford bumper in July but hasn't built on that effort switched to hurdling, never a threat when sixth of 9 in novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) last month. Could yet do better now handicapping, though.

Bob O Rhino^h¹⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 90

11/2

Winning Irish pointer who made her second handicap start over hurdles a winning one in 11-runner contest at Stratford (18.7f, good) in July, typically ridden positively. Can make her presence felt as she returns from 3 months off.

Form: P664-51

Sawpit Sienna¹⁹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 86| D

12/1

Proved at least as good as ever when successful at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) in January. However, has gone the wrong way from that effort in 3 subsequent outings, down the field at Fakenham when last seen 6 months ago.

Ryder's Rock^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 85

11/4

With her yard going well, opened her account in 5-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft) 37 days ago, asserting close home. Capable of making another bold bid now that she's up and running.

Dorcas Road¹²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin| OR: 84

18/1

Bit of promise in a bumper for Ian Williams but no better than mid-division over hurdles so far, albeit unsuited by the steady gallop on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) in June. First run for yard after leaving Lucinda Russell.

Form: 7/75-58

Well Vicky⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: C Gethings| T: A Ralph| OR: 81| D

5/4

Won her first 3 handicaps in 2022/23 and took a step back towards that level when fourth at this C&D in July. Lesser effort next time, but went with more enthusiasm when fifth of 15 at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 55 days ago. Not discounted.

Forecasts

Well Vicky (5/4), Ryder's Rock (11/4), Miss Goldfire (7/2), Crystal Glance (5/1), Bob O Rhino (11/2), Ann D'arabie (11/2), No No Fizz (11/2), Fromheretoeternity (10/1), Sawpit Sienna (12/1), Lady Henrietta (12/1), Vision Of Hope (14/1), Dorcas Road (18/1), African Lady (25/1), Kirkuila (50/1)

CRYSTAL GLANCE has made a promising start to her career, getting off the mark at the second attempt at Bangor in May, so she is taken to score again with plenty more still to offer as she makes her handicap debut. Ryder's Rock gained her first success at Newton Abbot last month and could be the main danger, ahead of Miss Goldfire,
