14/1
Fairly useful hurdler who landed a hat-trick from a reduced mark earlier in the year. Shaped creditably over hurdles since and did all he could when last of 4 on second chase start at Carlisle (15.9f) last time. Should give his running markedly back up in trip over hurdles.

9/1
Back on the up with an easy victory at Stratford on return and was suited by the stamina test when following up in a better race at Newton Abbot (21.6f) on final start for Dan Skelton. Given a break prior to this hat-trick bid and interesting to see if she's in the same form on debut for new yard.

Had breathing surgery prior to finishing well held at Catterick (19.3f) and appeared not to stay upped to 3m at Wetherby when last seen in February. Bit to prove on his return.

3/1
Veteran has been well below the best of his form this year, leading until home turn but eventually finishing well held third in a handicap at Hexham (had won the race the year previous) last time. Handicapper has given another chance but needs to take a step forward to capitalise.

Split a pair of subsequent graded novice hurdle winners on final start in bumpers. Has placed in maiden/novice hurdles but had no chance faced with an inadequate trip on reappearance at Ayr. Could be capable of much better now upped in trip on handicap debut.

10/1
Landed third Cartmel success (all have come on soft/heavy ground) when a decisive winner there in July and ran as well as ever when fourth behind Do No Wrong on return to the track (good) the following month. Has been given a break and should give another good account.

6/5
Won 3 handicap hurdles (up to 25.3f) in soft/heavy ground in 2024 and ran right up to her best returned to hurdling when fourth in a 12-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (23.3f) on final start last season. Makes plenty of appeal if firing on all cylinders on her reappearance.

Forecasts

It's Maisy (6/5), Dinons (3/1), You Some Girl (3/1), Do No Wrong (7/2), Highland Fashion (9/2), Queens Venture (9/1), Secret Secret (10/1), Matchless (14/1), Hajey (28/1)

Verdict

HIGHLAND FASHION still looks interesting on the best of his form in bumpers and should improve now tackling a longer trip on handicap debut. He's narrowly preferred to It's Maisy who could be a serious danger if ready to roll on reappearance, particularly if the ground deteriorates, while Secret Secret ran as well as ever at Cartmel last time and should give another good account following a break.
