11/2
Won back-to-back races at Worcester and Bangor-On-Dee in June and July. Finished second of 7 in a handicap hurdle at Stratford (5/2), looking certain to complete the hat-trick until fluffing the last hurdle and losing a shoe. Has winning form at this course and likely to be firmly in the mix again.

Out of form over hurdles, finishing second of 9 at Market Rasen (18/1) 45 days ago but was tailed off and found to have bled. Risky.

7/2
Winless over hurdles for 28 runs since 2021 but made encouraging start for new connections when third of 3 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (1/2) 34 days ago, jumping well but unable to quicken. Cheekpieces back on for this step up in trip and could have a say.

7/4
Showed improved form in recent starts, confirming preference for this 20f trip. Won 7-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (4/1) 34 days ago without cheekpieces and tongue strap, travelling strongly and quickening clear before being heavily eased. Looks completely rejuvenated.

Modest performer who has struggled in recent hurdle races, finishing seventh of 14 in handicap at Uttoxeter (66/1) 26 days ago, making little impression. Cheekpieces back on for this step up in trip.

Showed promise when third of 6 in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (7/2) in May. Won first race when scoring in a 7-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (17/2) 44 days ago, making headway before 3 out and keeping on well. Respected once again.

Forecasts

Orange Diamond (7/4), Kopa Kilana (7/2), Bebside Banter (11/2), G'day Aussie (11/2), Pacific (13/2), Dynamite Defense (18/1), Calagogo (18/1), Royal Rhythm (25/1), Even Break (80/1)

Verdict

ORANGE DIAMOND looked totally rejuvenated when hacking up over C&D last month and a 7 lb rise in the weights doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up. G'Day Aussie has been in great heart, winning twice before fluffing the last at Stratford when certain to complete the hat-trick, and seems sure to go well again. Pacific got off the mark over C&D on her most recent outing and should be suited by conditions again.
