In good form without winning until only seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good) 27 days ago. The sort to bounce back though.

11/8
Went 2-2 for his current yard in 2m6f handicap at Cartmel in June. Posted another very good effort despite failing to land the odds when third of 7 at Hexham (16.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago. A likely player once more.

Points winner has been brought along steadily, not knocked about when fFourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) in Febuary. Returns for his handicap debut with more to offer.

Made a winning hurdling debut at Worcester in June but well held both runs since, virtually refusing to race back on Flat at Windsor 11 days ago. Has somethng to prove now.

17/2
A fair 10f Flat winner but yet to match that form in a trio of hurdling runs, hooded when eighth of 10 in maiden at Fontwell (2m2f) 6 months ago. May still do better though now going handicapping on his seasonal return.

Modest maiden hurdler who was pulled up in handicap over C&D 20 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Forecasts

Dickens (11/8), Book of Secrets (3/1), Top Guy (10/3), Mojo Ego (4/1), Saccary (17/2), Jackson's Bay (10/1), Chelsea Annie (40/1)

Verdict

DICKENS hasn't looked back since joining Jennie Candlish and is weighted to quickly resume winning ways on the back of a very good Hexham third. Dan Skelton's Top Guy appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping and could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Saccary.

  1. Dickens11/8
  2. Top Guy10/3
  3. Saccary17/2
