15/2

Useful hurdler who won 9-runner handicap at Cartmel (17.2f) in June but didn't convince with his jumping and soon pulled up after a bad mistake at the third on his chase debut at Roscommon (16.6f) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on swiftly reverted to hurdling.

9/2

At least as good as ever when knuckling down to record a fourth win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 20 days ago. Big player again from 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 315-331

Here Comes Georgie^t¹¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: B S Hughes| T: P Neville| OR: 119| CD

3/1

Four-time winner last season and produced another excellent effort when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) when last seen in April. Likely to be involved after ready to roll after a 4-month break.

6/1

Useful stayer on the Flat who made a seamless transition to hurdling when landing 2m novice at Ayr in November. Resumed his progress when an eye-catching second at Kelso in April and wasn't beaten far at this C&D next time. Off since May but merits respect from out of the weights.

Form: 1652-3

Rock On Pedro²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 112| D

9/4

Maiden hurdler for Eoin Doyle but made no mistake in getting off the mark at the first attempt for the Murphy yard, travelling strongly to record a cosy success in an 11-runner novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 23 days ago. Out of the weights here but looks of major interest again.

Form: 535-381

Ravenscraig Castle²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 110| CD

15/2

Deservedly ended a lengthy losing run at this C&D in July. Not seen to maximum effect on the Flat since but perhaps has work to do attempting to score again from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Rock On Pedro (9/4), Here Comes Georgie (3/1), Vocito (9/2), Evaluation (6/1), Ravenscraig Castle (15/2), Fiveonefive (15/2), Mighty Tom (10/1)

ROCK ON PEDRO made a near flawless start to life for the Olly Murphy yard at Worcester last time and can follow up despite returning to handicap company from out of the weights. His stablemate Vocito is most feared on the back of his Uttoxeter success, whilst Here Comes Georgie goes well here and would also merit plenty of respect if primed after a summer break.
