13/2
Useful mare who bagged a 2m Wetherby listed race at the beginning of November. Found the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth at Newcastle too hot but quickly returned to form with a solid third in a Cheltenham handicap 35 days ago. Respected.

2/5
Useful hurdler who ran well when second twice at the top level before landing the Champion Juvenile at Punchestown 8 months ago. Type to do better again this season and should be hard to beat.

16/1
Took her form up a level when going 4-5 over hurdles in 2m listed hurdle at Punchestown in May. Sub-par efforts both starts since returning, including on chase debut at Bangor last time, but could bounce back after a two-month break.

33/1
Useful 11f Flat winner for William Haggas who landed a maiden and a novice at up to 18.9f around this time last year. Hasn't fired so far this term, though, and has a bit to find.

25/1
Confirmed previous promise when scoring with something in hand at Musselburgh and followed up easily at Southwell last time. Thriving now and clear to see why connections would have a go up in grade.

Fair hurdler who ran well when second in a Ludlow handicap last time but looks out of her depth in this company.

Useful mare who had a breathing operation prior to making a successful reappearance in handicap at Sandown and quickly got back on track to double her tally for the campaign in similar event at Kempton last time. Not dismissed.

Forecasts

Kargese (2/5), Take No Chances (13/2), Ooh Betty (17/2), Casa No Mento (16/1), All The Glory (25/1), Pawapuri (33/1), Brendas Asking (66/1)

Verdict

KARGESE acquitted herself well in Grade 1 company in the spring and she stands out on form, so it's hard to oppose her despite others having a potential fitness edge. Take No Chances is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection doesn't fire, while the improving All The Glory can't be ruled out.
