12/1

Point winner who has shown ability all 3 runs in 2m Worcester maiden hurdles, most recently finishing third to an odds-on shot with subsequent winner Ballytechno 3 lengths ahead in second. Opening mark no gift but improvement is certainly possible now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

4/1

Runner-up sole start in points and encouraging Rules debut when third behind a couple of useful types in 19f Warwick novice (heavy) last November. However, well held both starts since switched to handicaps and he needs to get back on track.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 104WS

7/1

Plenty of promise in 15f Wincanton maidens on first 2 starts under Rules. Suffered a heavy defeat upped to 19.2f on handicap debut at Fontwell when last seen in April but since undergone a wind op and it's still early days for this 5-y-o.

Form: F/4368-

Impecunious¹⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Bryan Carver| T: C J Down| OR: 104

25/1

Runner-up sole outing in point bumper and while he made a low-key start under Rules, improvement was evident when placed in a Stratford maiden and Newton Abbot novice (both at around 2m on good/good to firm) in May. Possible he'll be seen in a better light now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 285-23

17/2

Stepped up on reappearance when fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) on latest start in July. Has edged down to an attractive mark and will likely capitalise before long, provided she builds on that effort.

Form: 35PP-55

40/1

Now 12 lb below last winning mark but it's been well over 2 years since that latest success and it's been more a case of miss than hit in 5 starts so far this year.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 101| BF

10/3

Has improved since switched to handicaps, third at Taunton in March prior to opening his account in good style with a hood enlisted at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) a month later. No further progress when fifth of 11 at Southwell when last seen but this lightly-raced 5-y-o remains of interest

Drash On Ruby^t⁵⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 99

16/1

Performed with credit all 4 starts during 2022/23 campaign, signing that season off by finishing second off a 3 lb lower mark over this C&D (good to soft). Missed whole of last term, though, and this maiden (0-10 in thos sphere) is entitled to come on for the run.

Wot You Wearing^p,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: C Gethings| T: R Stephens| OR: 99| CD

9/2

Back-to-back C&D winner last November and very encouraging start to present campaign when just touched off in a 25.5f Hereford handicap (good) 15 days ago. Couldn't grumble with a 3 lb nudge for that near-miss and he's a key player back down in trip here. Cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 11227-2

Lermoos Legend^p¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 97| D

20/1

Six-time winner over fences but he's failed to trouble the judge in half-a-dozen appearances in this sphere and it's probably best to look elsewhere, for all that the handicapper has given him a chance.

Walkinthewoods¹⁷⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 97| CWS

16/1

Successful over 2m here in October 2022 and runner-up 3 times in handicap chases last season. Badly out of sorts when last seen during the spring but he's on a workable mark and would be danger to all if able to bounce back following a wind op. Yard also saddles Winds of Fire.

An Cailin Ciuin^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 97

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who posted arguably her best effort yet when fourth in 10-runner mares' maiden at Warwick (21f, good) earlier this month. Improvement by no means out of the question now that she ventures down the handicap route but a significant step forward is certainly needed.

Form: 6853-44

Winds Of Fire^b⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 93

16/1

Took advantage of drop in the weights when narrowly taking a 9-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, soft) in July, holding on gamely. However, he checked out rather tamely at Worcester last time and now tried in blinkers, which he previously sported on one occasion on the Flat.

Form: P27/P17

Complete Fantasy^b¹⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁵⁾| T: C Honour| OR: 91

100/1

Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland and there were very few positives to take from his debut effort for new connections at Fakenham in June. Blinkers refitted.

Form: 86/502-8

Jessmae⁵⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 84

20/1

Successful just once from 8 starts between the flags and while he showed more than on Rules debut when fourth of 12 in a Southwell maiden back in June 2023, his subsequent absence is naturally a concern ahead of this handicap bow.

The one who appeals most is WOT YOU WEARING, who is 2-2 over this C&D and he pulled well clear of the rest when going down narrowly to an in-form, race-fit rival on his recent seasonal reappearance at Hereford. Siam Park ended last season on a downer but he has low mileage and remains of interest. Solar System is also shortlisted, along with handicap-debutant Manowest.
