5/1

Scored at Stratford in July. Only seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 17 days ago but unsuited by way race developed. Can bounce back.

Jubilee Gold^p¹⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 97| BF

9/1

Arrives in good nick, second of 9 in selling hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good) 141 days ago on his final run for Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole. Can't be discounted starting out for his new stable.

Form: 3/UP23-2

On The Go²⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 91

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden who posted a very good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Newcastle (20.3f, good) when last seen out 6 months ago. Needs considering on his seasonal return.

Form: F684-

Sir Carnegie²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: M Bowen| OR: 87

10/1

Ex-Irish maiden hurdler came in a well-held fifth on his yard/chasing debut at Hexham (3m) last month. Needs a big step forward back in this sphere.

Form: 3F-5F95

No Guarantee^t,v³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 79| BF

3/1

Remains a maiden after 19 runs but he recorded a creditable third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 31 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 79-3423

Eliza Dolittle¹⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 79| CD

7/1

Resumed winning ways in 6-runner handicap hurdle over C&D in April. Off since but she has gone well off a break before so is a likely player nudged up 2 lb.

Square Du Roule³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: James Davies| T: N J Hawke| OR: 79

11/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time when a below-form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 31 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back with headgear quickly dispensded with.

Form: 4-34228

Ruler Of The River^p,t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 77

10/1

On a losing run and he came in last of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) on his sole run for Barry Brennan 31 days ago. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Form: 7/609P-3

Forecasts

No Guarantee (3/1), On The Go (5/1), Mr Le Philosophe (5/1), Square Du Roule (11/2), Eliza Dolittle (7/1), Jubilee Gold (9/1), Ruler Of The River (10/1), Sir Carnegie (10/1), Coup De Gold (14/1)

Lots with chances but ELIZA DOLITTLE signed off last term with a C&D victory and is taken to make a winning return having gone well fresh in the past. Coup de Gold is on a losing sequence but figures on a handy-looking mark and is next on the list, while On The Go, Mr Le Philosophe and No Guarantee can't be dismissed either.
