Came good in a 2m Stratford maiden in April but has been unable to make a significant impact in handicaps on her 2 outings since. Back up in trip.

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 100| BF

8/1

Hasn't built on a promising start to her career, pulling up in a 19f Fontwell handicap on her reappearance 18 days ago. The fact she went off at 7/4 on that occasion suggests a lot better was expected and it'll be interesting to see whether there's money for her again now fitted with cheekpieces.

Form: 22F37-P

3/1

Point winner. Also third in maiden/novice hurdles around 2m last winter but disappointed when stepped up to 25f for his handicap debut at Huntingdon in March. Back down in trip on reappearance with cheekpieces added. Still early days and one to note in the betting.

Mount Washington²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 93

11/1

Showed a fair level of ability on bumper debut. Has yet to better poor form over hurdles but she did hint at promise when sixth on her 2m Stratford handicap debut and reappearance 3 weeks ago, shaping as if this return to a longer trip will suit.

Form: 38545-6

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 93WS

22/1

Third on Wincanton hurdle debut last December but failed to reproduce that in 3 subsequent outings last season, including a handicap. A wind operation ahead of this reappearance needs to have had a positive effect.

Form: 7635P8-

Top Kap¹⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 91

10/1

Modest form at best in a bumper and maiden/novice hurdles but handicaps provide him with a much more realistic chance back from 6 months off. Interesting runner, particularly if backed.

Form: 6/66-0

Trevor's Lad²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: K Brogan| T: T Lawes| OR: 91

25/1

Displayed definite promise on first of his 2 starts in novice hurdles during 2022/23 season but has struggled in only 2 handicap starts since.

Form: 34/P-0

Ionity¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 90| CD

16/5

Improved again to open his account in C&D handicap in May and returned with a creditable third of 13 at Ludlow 17 days ago. No reason why he won't give another good account of himself.

Form: 7572-13

Pooroldmackley²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 84

33/1

Failed to complete both starts in points and has offered little in 3 qualifying runs this season. It is possible handicaps will see him in a better light but the stable's other runners have more obvious claims.

Form: FP-799

Hi Riko^h1¹⁹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: M G Nolan| T: C J Gray| OR: 83

33/1

More miss than hit in the first half of this year but was runner-up twice in handicaps last November. Has left Richard Hobson ahead of reappearance. Also hooded first time.

Form: PP475-P

Pescatorius^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin| OR: 80

20/1

Poor form, including no impact in 3 handicaps.

Form: 475P7-0

Sindri^h³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Rex Dingle| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 78

25/1

Maiden on the Flat and has yet to achieve much over hurdles, not jumping well when comfortably held in Exeter handicap on reappearance and yard debut last month.

Form: 768-0

Parish Star^p²⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: N J Hawke| OR: 77WS

50/1

Modest form on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger and made little impact over hurdles last season, including handicaps. Has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance.

Lady Harriett^p1²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 76

9/1

Went close at Cartmel in August but has performed below that level twice since, beaten just over 25 lengths into fourth over 3m here latterly. Wears first-time cheekpieces and drops in trip in a bid to get back to her best.

Grandmaster Flash^b¹⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Conor Ring| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 75

80/1

Three-time AW winner on the Flat but no real impact in his 6 starts over hurdles, pulling up at Newton Abbot when last seen in May. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Chauffeur Driven (3/1), Ionity (16/5), Villainess (13/2), Drumlee Spud (8/1), Lady Harriett (9/1), Top Kap (10/1), Mount Washington (11/1), Nowyouvebinandunit (14/1), Pescatorius (20/1), Kingoftheswingerz (22/1), Trevor's Lad (25/1), Sindri (25/1), Hi Riko (33/1), Pooroldmackley (33/1), Parish Star (50/1), Grandmaster Flash (80/1)

IONITY is the most solid option back at the scene of his C&D win in May but there are a few unexposed sorts in opposition who could easily take a step forward, headed by Alan King's Top Kap and the selection's stablemate Mount Washington, who ought to appreciate this longer trip.
