Bagged his fourth win of 2024 with a career best in 8-runner handicap at Epsom (12f) 26 days ago. Up another 8 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Course winner who posted a creditable third of 10 in handicap at York (16.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Back down in trip but this veteran is well in the mix.

Looked a good prospect in landing maidens at Kempton and Wolverhampton but she came in last of five on her handicap debut at Salisbury (1m4f) in June. Well worth another chance after a break.

A fair winning hurdler in March but off for six months since a below-par ninth at Taunton. Needs to hit the ground running back in this sphere.

Scored at Chester in September and recorded a respectable third of 11 in handicap here (13.3f, soft) 34 days ago. Needs considering off the same mark.

Winless in 2024 but he comes here in good form, second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 22 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Bagged a pair of 2m handicap hurdles before an excellent second at Huntingdon. Off 6 months but he's a player back in this sphere off a reduced mark for a yard among the winners.

Without a win this season but running well until coming in last of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, heavy) 28 days ago. Sort to bounce back though.

It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2023 and he beat only one in handicap at Kempton (11f) 30 days ago. Others appeal more.

Forecasts

Ithaca's Arrow (13/8), Miller Spirit (9/2), Calvert (6/1), Balhambar (15/2), Flash Bardot (8/1), Torcello (18/1), Thundering (18/1), Great Bedwyn (18/1), Silent Glance (25/1), Graignes (33/1), Ruler Legend (150/1)

Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout so it is worth siding with BALHAMBAR, who was firmly on the up over hurdles when last seen out in the spring and can now capitalise on a reduced mark back in this sphere for a yard among the winners. C&D scorer Flash Bardot goes very well under these likely soft conditions and heads the list of dangers, although Miller Spirit, Torcello and Silent Glance bring solid credentials to the table too.

  1. Balhambar15/2
  2. Flash Bardot8/1
  3. Miller Spirit9/2
