Showed improved form to open his account in handicap hurdle at Leicester (5/2) 8 days ago on heavy ground. Seems to perform best on heavy/soft surfaces. Unpenalised for quick return and can win again if encountering similarly testing conditions.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-13| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR:  94
Showed potential with 2nd at Taunton and 3rd at Uttoxeter earlier this year. Finished 5th at Chepstow (18/1) last month after being held up too far back. Has a race in her from this sort of mark but may prove best on sharper tracks given her free-going tendencies.

Has shown inconsistent jumping form but was strong in betting when winning a 7-runner handicap hurdle at Leicester (9/4) 14 days ago. Now up 7 lb and may struggle on this right-handed track given tendency to jump left.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: J Tickle| OR:  91
Has shown fair form on the Flat this year with a second-place finish. Fifth of 9 in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton (9/2) 28 days ago, not at his best after leading until early in straight. Needs to step up on that run.

Showed signs of revival recently after a poor spell lasting most of the year, finishing third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (4/1) 10 days ago when looking likely to win before heading for paddock exit after the last hurdle. Sure to be in the mix if backing up that effort.

Yet to match his fair Flat form in this sphere but ran his best race in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 11 in handicap at Fontwell Park (80/1) on most recent outing. Dropping back in trip may help but his jumping needs work.

Winless but shaped reasonably well when third of 13 in handicap hurdle over 19f at Taunton (17/2) 21 days ago, catching the eye with move into contention but unable to sustain it. Not ruled out.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR:  79
Fairly useful on Flat in Germany/France (stays 1¾m) but well below that level over hurdles, including in handicaps.

Mr Zeep14
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-7| J: Rex Dingle| T: M Blake| OR:  74
Experienced handicap hurdler whose form has dipped since winning earlier this year, finishing fourth of 7 at Leicester (11/2) 14 days ago, never threatening when racing off the pace, albeit sticking to the inside probably did him no favours.

Forecasts

Thankyouandplease (2/1), Olivia Kate (9/4), Storming Nelson (7/1), Man Oh Man (10/1), Begin The Luck (10/1), Bradman (12/1), Taritino (14/1), Don't Tell Rosie (20/1), Saccary (25/1), Mr Zee (25/1)

Verdict

THANKYOUANDPLEASE opened his account in smooth style at Leicester 8 days ago and is unpenalised for this quick return. If encountering similarly testing conditions, he's fancied to follow up. Storming Nelson showed clear signs of a revival when nearly winning at Fontwell recently despite veering off the course after the last and must enter calculations, along with Don't Tell Rosie, who has a race within her compass from this sort of mark.
