16/1

Landed quickfire double at Cartmel in May and lost little in defeat when runner-up to at Bangor next time. However, not scaled same heights in 2 subsequent starts at Cartmel and he needs to get back on track.

Form: 4-11206

12/1

Course winner who ran right up to best when third over 20f here in April and not disgraced despite finishing last of 4 in handicap hurdle back at this course (26.6f) the following month. Absent since but this veteran is certainly not out of things.

Form: 135P3-4

Spit Spot^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: P W Wadge| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 103

9/4

Off the mark over hurdles in a thin Musselburgh maiden in March and remained in good form since, looking suited by the step up in trip when keeping on third of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Interesting now her stamina is tested further.

Form: P31-333

Coventry⁵⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 97

11/2

Creditable second at Cartmel for these connections last Autumn but hasn't backed that up in subsequent starts, fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, good) 57 days ago. Mark has eased further ahead of this but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 6268-74

Dalileo²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 96| CD

13/2

C&D winner in July and remained in good form since, left poorly placed and unable to land a blow when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle back at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. Expected to give another good account from 1 lb higher mark.

Form: 6-61335

Georgia Celena¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Alex Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 94

5/2

Capitalised on a reduced mark after 9 months off at Downpatrick (21.8f) in July and continued in good heart, creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle (18/5) at Down Royal (24f, good to firm) 10 days ago, that despite being forced to cover more ground than ideal. Fancied to be thereabouts again.

Form: 457-133

Kitty Ooru^p1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Bruce Lynn| T: M Todhunter| OR: 79

100/1

No form over hurdles for Tom Dreaper in Ireland, including a handicap, but did reach the frame in points earlier this year. However, offered as little as she had previously over hurdles when twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: P Neville| OR: 77

13/2

Ran much better than on handicap debut when runner-up in a 6-runner handicap at Southwell (24.2f) in June. Presumably unsuited by return to testing ground when last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f) 49 days ago. Could get back on track with tongue tie retained.

Forecasts

Spit Spot (9/4), Georgia Celena (5/2), Themanintheboots (5/1), Coventry (11/2), Dalileo (13/2), Myfavouritesister (13/2), Wearelongterm (8/1), Artic Mann (12/1), Evenwood Sonofagun (16/1), Kitty Ooru (100/1)

C&D winner THEMANINTHEBOOTS arrives on the back of a creditable second at Sligo 3 weeks ago and, operating from 7 lb lower than the mark he defied for his latter success here, he could well be ready to strike. Georgia Celena and Spit Spot are respected as fellow in-form sorts though, with Dalileo another in the reckoning.
