Uncle Remus²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: C Gethings| T: R Stephens| OR: 96| D

16/1

Bumper winner at the third attempt. Beaten upwards of 17 lengths in maiden/novice hurdles this autumn but could prove a different proposition in handicaps. One to note in the betting.

Form: 5-41640

Glorious Lion^t⁵⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies| OR: 93

150/1

Failed to go on from a promising start in juvenile hurdles for Harry Derham in early 2024 and a watching brief has to be the call for new yard back from 18 months off.

Form: F43250/

Kally Des Bruyeres²¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: David Dennis| OR: 92| D

12/1

Much improved to spring a 200/1 surprise in 2m Huntingdon maiden hurdle last November but no impact in 3 handicaps later in the season. Returns from 7 months off with something to prove.

Form: P/71P7P-

Little Venice^h,t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 86

11/2

Fair winner on Flat but yet to better modest form over hurdles. Latest C&D fifth of 14 with a tongue tie added (retained) was more encouraging but she needs to build on it now.

Form: 485-95

Tigers Moon²⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis| OR: 84

8/11

Left behind qualifying runs when much-improved third of 10 on Market Rasen handicap debut (16.5f, good to soft) in February. Returns from 8 months off with unexposed potential.

Form: 9093-

Mancero^t⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 100WS

17/2

Made winning debut in a claiming hurdle at Fontainebleau (15f, soft) in April. Nowhere near that level when 29 lengths second at Hexham for new yard in June and pulled up at Newton Abbot 3 months later. Has had wind surgery ahead of handicap debut. One to keep an eye on in the betting.

Form: 1-2P

The Last Drop⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 82

13/2

Modest maiden. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 8 on C&D handicap debut in May but disappointed at Worcester 12 weeks later. Back from another 3 months off now. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 26/43-57

Mac's Xpress^v1⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Brendan Powell| T: C Ellam| OR: 74

28/1

Remains a long-standing maiden and has offered little since joining this yard. A change of headgear (first-time visor for blinkers) needs to make a huge difference.

Form: 9860-PP

Forecasts

Tigers Moon (8/11), Diesel Line (5/2), Cawthorne Banker (3/1), Little Venice (11/2), The Last Drop (13/2), Mancero (17/2), Dom Perry (10/1), Kally Des Bruyeres (12/1), Uncle Remus (16/1), Mac's Xpress (28/1), Glorious Lion (150/1)

TIGERS MOON made an encouraging start to his handicap career at Market Rasen earlier in the year and might be worth siding with on his return. Diesel Line has strung together a handful of good efforts over C&D since switching to the Pogson stable and is an obvious danger. Cawthorne Banker is also respected as a recent C&D winner.
