Lucky So And So²³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: N F Houlihan| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 105

12/1

Just one creditable performance last season and will probably strip fitter for this first run in 7 months. Others make more appeal.

Keable²²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 105

7/1

Promise when in the frame in maiden hurdles at the start of 2023. Disappointing so far in handicaps and hasn't been seen for 7 months.

Form: 6426/4P-

Saunton Surf²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 104

11/4

Easy winner of a point/Aintree bumper for Bradley Gibbs and better than the result on a couple of occasions over hurdles last season. Worthy of interest on return.

Form: 1/12558-

Belles Benefit^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 103

11/2

Bounced back to form to score at Plumpton last month. Remains on a fair mark but not certain to be in the same mood.

Form: P-16U21

Golden Ambition^b²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 102

7/4

Has benefited from the refitting of blinkers this term, bumping into one at Fontwell in early October before going one better there later in the month. Leading claims.

Form: P05-U21

Seignor Gringo^p,t1²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: R Bandey| OR: 96

10/1

Shaped better than previously for this yard when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good, 12/1) in May but added to a patchy record when only fifth at Worcester on return.

Form: 2/P36-45

Weaver's Answer^p²⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Edward Vaughan⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 96

11/1

Improved with cheekpieces added when gaining second hurdle success at Plumpton in February and may have found the race coming too soon at Ayr 8 months ago. Could get back on track.

Form: 3/18314-

Dance To Fame²⁰⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: James Davies| T: R Rowe| OR: 84

50/1

Successful on the last of 4 starts in Irish points but is yet to offer much over hurdles. Hard to fancy back from 6 months off.

Forecasts

Golden Ambition (7/4), Saunton Surf (11/4), Belles Benefit (11/2), Keable (7/1), Engaging Sam (8/1), Twp Stori (8/1), Seignor Gringo (10/1), Weaver's Answer (11/1), Lucky So And So (12/1), Dance To Fame (50/1)

GOLDEN AMBITION is going well in blinkers and is fancied to supplement his Fontwell win with the step up in trip likely to bring even more out of him. Twp Stori is a danger returning to a more suitable distance and Saunton Surf may have more to offer this term.
