4/1
Course winner was better than ever over hurdles earlier this season, winning at Warwick prior to finishing second in a 3m1f handicap at Huntingdon in April. Struggling when fell on chase debut at Bangor the following month but should be competitive back over hurdles if none the worse for that.

Won back-to-back around 2½m at Southwell and Bangor in June. Still in form when fifth over a staying trip at Uttoxeter (23.3f) the following month but found her run of form coming to a halt when well held back down in distance at Worcester (20f) 3 weeks ago. May do better back over a longer trip.

9/2
Back-to-back second place finishes behind subsequent winners earlier in the summer and bounced right back to form when fourth in a 10-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) 31 days ago. Ought to remain competitive with first-time cheekpieces added to usual tongue strap.

25/1
Enhanced fine record at Huntingdon when capitalising on a falling mark there in April but that wasn't a strong handicap and she was well below that form over the same C&D the following month. Has a bit to prove on his reappearance.

No better than modest form to date and didn't look a natural jumper for Micky Hammond. Joined new yard £16,000 but showed nothing in first-time tongue tie at Stratford last month. Questions to answer.

Went close from a similar mark over C&D in May but arrives on the back of a pair of lesser efforts, latest when pulled-up with cheekpieces refitted at Stratford in July. Remains to be seen whether more severe headgear does the trick.

7/2
Proved a different proposition switched to a handicap when scoring at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) in July, beating a couple of next-time out winners. Unable to build on that when fourth at Worcester (23f) last month but worth another chance on her Uttoxeter form.

5/1
Has had respiratory issues but benefitted from the addition of cheekpieces when getting off the mark in a small field at Taunton (3m, good) in April and bounced back to form when 7½ lengths third to Cinderello at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) 67 days ago. Should be in the mix if in similar form here.

9/1
C&D winner back in October 2023 but lightly raced since. Came on for her reappearance when third in a 10-runner handicap at Worcester (20f, good) 21 days ago. Remains to be seen if she can back that up returned to a longer trip.

Remains with a sole hurdle win to his name in 2023 but has been completely out of sorts this year. Hasn't taken to chasing of late and a leap of faith is required back over hurdles.

Maiden hit the frame over C&D last season but undone by her jumping in a pair of handicaps at Fontwell in May. Likely faces an uphill task from out of the handicap on her return.

Forecasts

Cinderello (7/2), The Dark Edge (4/1), Fine By Me (9/2), Luna Run (5/1), Isabel De Clare (8/1), Land Girl's Luck (9/1), Stamina Chope (9/1), Flemen's Tipple (16/1), The Wise Traveller (25/1), Tiny Tantrum (40/1), Glorious Mist (50/1)

Verdict

The form of CINDERELLO's Uttoxeter win has worked out well and she's worth another chance reunited with Adam Wedge. The Dark Edge was at the top of his game over hurdles earlier in the year and could go well if none the worse for his fall on chase debut in May, while Luna Run finished third behind Cinderello when last seen and should remain competitive if in similar form following a break.
