Grove Road^v¹²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 101

1/1

Ended a losing run in a change of headgear in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in July. Up 4 lb but has won off a break and remains handily weighted on old form for yard among the winners.

Form: 5P-94P1

Jolie Baie^t1⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Finn Lambert| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 93

25/1

Resumed with 3m hurdles win at Ffos Las but pulled up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) on her debut over fences 48 days ago. Not dismissed back in this sphere with tongue strap on for 1st time.

Form: 421-19P

R Bernard^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 89

6/1

Scored at Stratford in May but off 6 months before a fading sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Needs considering with that run under his belt.

Form: 6P31-16

Emma Hamilton^v¹⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Shane Quinlan| T: H D Daly| OR: 78

3/1

Visored for the 1st time when getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, good to firm) in May. Can't be ruled out on her return with the headgear again sported.

Form: 98648-1

Redbridge Rosie⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Jay Tidball| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 77

10/1

Modest maiden hurdler/chaser. Off 10 months before a below-form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) 60 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: P/3232-7

Mackie Dee²⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson| T: R J Armson| OR: 74| C

17/2

It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2022 but he posted a very good second of 14 in handicap hurdle over C&D 20 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 4660P2

Forecasts

Grove Road (1/1), Emma Hamilton (3/1), R Bernard (6/1), Mackie Dee (17/2), Redbridge Rosie (10/1), Jolie Baie (25/1)

GROVE ROAD bagged a first win for James Owen at Newton Abbot in July and can defy a 4 lb rise given he has a good record fresh and remains well weighted on past form. R Bernard also figures on a lenient mark and is next on the list ahead of Emma Hamilton and Jolie Baie.
