9/4
12f Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles over C&D in March and shaped a clear second best when third at Stratford in May. Flying too high on reappearance at Plumpton but again ran below form back down in grade at aforementioned track last time. Bit to prove in a first-time tongue strap.

Fairly useful Flat winner who was a shade disappointing making the switch to handicaps in this sphere over C&D in April but it's still early days with him over hurdles.

Fair form over hurdles in France. A bit below that level in Britain last season and shapes as if amiss on last month's return at Worcester, folding tamely leaving back straight.

Has seemingly going off the boil on the Flat and offered little returned to hurdling in handicap won by Baikal at Ffos Las (15.8f, good, 40/1) 26 days ago.

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), posted a creditable fourth at Kempton last month. Ran below that level when in the frame both starts over hurdles this summer but could well do better now venturing into handicaps.

Made little impact in a trio of starts over hurdles last season. More realistic chance now handicapping but will likely be of more interest over longer trips in due course.

A fair Flat winner who is progressing over hurdles, cosily landing 2m Worcester handicap in September before finding only one too good from a 7 lb higher mark at Kempton (2m). Remains of firm interest.

11/1
Has really found his feet of late, right back to his best when notching a third win from his last 4 starts in this sphere at Ffos Las (15.8f) in October. Ran at least as well in defeat from a 4 lb higher mark back there 12 days later and ought to remain competitive.

Failed to go on from a promising start in juvenile hurdles for Harry Derham in early 2024 and showed nothing returning for a new yard after 18 months off at Uttoxeter recently. Easily passed over.

Fair at best on the Flat (stays 1¼m) but disappointing in that sphere for current yard and has made no impact on all 3 starts over hurdles. Into handicaps now and hard to fancy.

Showed fair form when third on hurdle debut in France in May but well below that level since, including in 2 runs for Dominic Ffrench Davis. Has work to do now setting out for another new stable.

Yet to win in this sphere but made the frame in a couple of Taunton handicaps last spring and has added to his tally on the Flat this summer. Not ruled out despite being 5 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Renoir (9/4), Graecia (5/2), Following Chapter (10/3), Granpa Ger (4/1), Across Earth (6/1), Cawthorne Banker (8/1), One Cool Dreamer (11/1), Baikal (11/1), Galactic Glow (28/1), El Gavilan (28/1), Cogital (66/1), Lady Wilhelmina (80/1), Silk Bird (200/1), Glorious Lion (200/1)

Verdict

GRAECIA is going the right way as a hurdler now and should be suited by the return to a bigger-field handicap which promises to be run at a true pace, so she remains of firm interest. Granpa Ger is a long-standing maiden but split 2 subsequent winners on his first start for his current yard in a maiden at Uttoxeter last month, with the in-form Baikal completing the shortlist.
