3/1
Won back-to-back around 2½m at Southwell and Bangor in June and has largely remained in form since, shaping well when second of 11 to The Wise Traveller in handicap at Plumpton (25f, good to firm) 16 days ago, left with too much to do. Fancied to reverse that form on 2 lb better terms here.

Hasn't looked back since returned to hurdling, completing hat-trick in 9-runner handicap at Market Rasen (23.1f, good) in June, holding on gamely. Limit may not yet have been reached.

4/1
Proved better than ever when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, good to firm) 16 days ago by a length from Land Girl's Luck, though was aided by being unhassled at the head of affairs. May struggle to confirm that form on 2 lb worse terms.

9/1
Successful at Ludlow in 2024/25 but has run below form on completed starts this season. Handicapper relenting but others still appeal more.

Showed fair form in bumpers on the pick of his 3 bumper outings in 2023/24. Below that level in novice/maiden hurdles, though possibly needed run (first-time tongue tie) latest and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him show more now handicapping up markedly in trip.

Scored at Southwell in May and not disgraced both starts since, including back from another 8-week break at Uttoxeter last month. Should remain competitive.

Just one win from 33 NH runs and found his good run coming to a halt in first-time blinkers when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to firm, 16/1) 41 days ago, dropping away before 2 out. Back up in trip.

Failed to offer any encouragement in 3 novice hurdles last season but could show more now stepping up in trip on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Land Girl's Luck (3/1), Casting Aspersions (3/1), The Wise Traveller (4/1), Indian Sunbird (13/2), Chedington's Guest (17/2), Faerie Cutlass (9/1), Captain Trigger (11/1), Fox's Socks (25/1)

Verdict

LAND GIRL'S LUCK was left with a bit too much to do when runner-up to The Wise Traveller at Plumpton just over a fortnight ago, so she's a relatively straightforward choice to reverse the form on 2 lb better terms and come out on top. Casting Aspersions completed a hat-trick in likeable fashion at Market Rasen in June and could still have further improvement in him, while Indian Sunbird is pick of the remainder.
