1/4

Winning Irish pointer who scored twice over hurdles during 2023/24 campaign. Already a much better chaser, supplementing her Perth win in bloodless fashion over 3m in May. Longer trip may have stretched her at Uttoxeter the following month and this looks a great opportunity.

Form: 62U1-10

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: M Gates| OR: 77

50/1

Poor hurdler who showed nothing on his previous chase start.

Form: 0P6/6P-4

Secret Trix^p,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 130| D

3/1

Better than ever following a breathing operation when winning at Uttoxeter in July 2024. Form tailed off towards the end of last season but should strip fitter with last month's return from a break under his belt and he's expected to show more than previous chase outing.

Form: 1P49-36

Forecasts

Coco Mademoiselle (1/4), Secret Trix (3/1), Hitthekettle (50/1)

COCO MADEMOISELLE shaped as though still in good form in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter and with this drop in trip in his favour, he'll take plenty of stopping back in a novice. Secret Trix has to be the forecast pick.
