Magnum Ice Cream Company Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Has done well for this yard, winning twice over 2m at Uttoxeter and running up to his best when creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft, 4/1) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Likely contender.

Had fallen to a fair hurdles mark based on his Flat form and duly capitalised with a career best when winning at Bangor (16.7f) in September. Backed that up with good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) last month and no reason why he shouldn't go well again.

Opened her account back against her own sex at Huntingdon in May but has been well beaten on all 3 starts for Olly Williams. Now tried in blinkers.

Irish point winner who made a winning chase debut at Plumpton (19.7f) in March. Form has dipped since, though, and makes limited appeal back over hurdles here.

Took a step forward from his return effort when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Stratford (16.3f, good) 41 days ago. Dropped 1 lb since and must enter calculations. Had wind operation.

Point bumper winner in February 2024 but hasn't pulled up any trees under Rules so far, including on return/handicap debut earlier this month.

Chase winner. Still a maiden over hurdles but made the frame again when creditable second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, good) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Likely to be in the mix again.

Back from 8 months off when very good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (16f, good, 9/1) 17 days ago. Can race off same mark here and is one for shortlist.

No impact in maiden/novice hurdles thus far but has been in good form on Flat this summer and may do better now sent handicapping in this sphere.

Still looking for first success and proved disappointing when last seen at Stratford in August. Cheekpieces back on.
