Won a pair of handicap hurdles at Musselburgh back in February but struggled on the Flat in the spring/summer and fared no better back hurdling at Kelso in October. Eased 1 lb ahead of this but others arrive with more pressing claims.
|
Off the mark over hurdles at Downpatrick (17.7f) in August prior to a good fourth at Wexford later that month. However, below best next time and well-beaten starting out for new yard at Market Rasen (20.6f) 3 weeks ago. Hood goes back on.
|
Improved greatly for the switch into handicaps, opening his account over C&D in May and made frame all 3 starts, edged out near finish back here 22 days ago. Looks sure to give another good account.
|
Resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m) in July but not in same form since, well-beaten tenth of 11 to Clean Getaway in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 31 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind.
|
Fair Flat winner and similar merit over hurdles, winning C&D maiden last winter. Best effort over hurdles subsequently when 5¼ lengths third of 11 to Clean Getaway in handicap back over C&D (good) 31 days ago. Meets that rival on much better terms if he can build on that effort here.
|
Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat. Lightly raced in this sphere and off the mark at Cartmel in July. Lines up here fit from a respectable fourth on the Flat at Redcar last month and he's respected returned to timber.
|
5-y-o who finished third only start in points and best effort over hurdles when fourth on qualifying run in 11-runner Carlisle maiden (17f) 25 days ago. Likely type to step up again now attentions switch to handicaps.
|
Thrived this campaign, readily bringing up the 4-timer (sixth win in total since June) over fences here (16.3f) 10 days ago. Has to merit serious consideration again from his lower mark back in this sphere.
|
Fair bumper winner who offered definite signs of promise over hurdles in her qualifying runs but easy to back and well held with a tongue strap fitted (retained here) in pair of handicaps during the summer. In top hands though and subsequent wind op may well have helped.

Forecasts
Foster's Fortune (13/8), Clean Getaway (13/8), Lightening Company (13/2), Langton Wold (15/2), Bashful (10/1), Hot Fizzy Lizzy (40/1), Mr Sundancer (66/1), Powerofjet (66/1), Ambassador (66/1)
CLEAN GETAWAY's purple patch showed no sign of stopping when bringing up the 4-timer over fences here 10 days ago and, able to operate from his lower mark back in this sphere, he looks sure to make another bold bid. Lightening Company, back over hurdles, and another in-form sor, Foster's Fortune can provide the lead threats.
