7/1

Took an age to get off the mark but now on a hat-trick after a pair of 2m Perth wins this autumn, the latter on heavy ground. Only another 3 lb higher. Should go well.

Platin Moon²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 99

5/1

Placed on sole Flat start in France. Fair form over hurdles, finishing 6 lengths fourth in 2m Perth handicap (heavy) on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 652-4

Shadow Chaser²⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Danny McMenamin| T: A M Thomson| OR: 97

3/1

Cher Tara^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jordan Gainford| T: G Elliott| OR: 96| D

So Many Roads^t²⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: D W Whillans| OR: 95| BF| C

10/1

Made a winning handicap hurdle over a slightly longer trip here (heavy) in January 2023. Hasn't added to his tally since but he might have done in a 3m handicap chase here in February but for unseating 3 out. Off since. Respected if fully primed for this comeback run.

Form: 457/34U-

She's Notjoeking²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: P W Wadge| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 95

Maiden who has been beaten around 18 lengths into fourth on both outings this season. Needs to raise her game.

Dalileo¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 92| CD

18/1

Veteran who has been kept busy since a 3m Perth win in July. Creditable fifth of 12 at Wetherby (21f, good) 12 days ago but this trip is a minimum for him nowadays.

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: D Bourke| OR: 84

Forecasts

Tread Softly Now (5/2), Shadow Chaser (3/1), Platin Moon (5/1), Nathan Wells (7/1), She's Notjoeking (10/1), So Many Roads (10/1), Cher Tara (16/1), Dalileo (18/1), Kellie's Dream (20/1), I'm For Home (22/1), Breadalbane Lass (22/1), Bray Dale (28/1), Love That (66/1), Gone With The Tide (66/1)

TREAD SOFTLY NOW was back to her best when second at Perth 3 weeks ago and is selected to go one better now. The hat-trick seeking Nathan Wells rates an obvious threat, while Platin Moon and So Many Roads also make the shortlist.
