11/4
C&D winner last term but he's been well below par both runs this term, only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good) 39 days ago. Has a bit to prove now with tongue tie added.

Landed a gamble (in first-time blinkers) for his new yard at Market Rasen in July but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to firm) following month. Could bounce back after a break though.

Scored at Musselburgh and Ayr in the spring and has resumed in good nick, second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) 93 days ago. Up 4 lb but he ought to be in the shake-up again.

Went backwards from his reappearance third when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (18.9f, good) 23 days ago. A fairly useful winner at his best though so he still needs considering off a handy-looking mark.

On a long losing run and he came in only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

7/4
C&D winner who completed a quick hat-trick when making all in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 30 days ago, finding extra. Up another 7 lb but this likeable mare is a big player in her bid for a four-timer.

Forecasts

Devon Skies (7/4), Sign Again (11/4), Summergrounds (4/1), Kingston Narcissus (17/2), Broughshane (11/1), Blue Fin (16/1), Fourofakind (18/1)

Verdict

DEVON SKIES has a career-high mark to overcome but Phil Kirby's thriving mare is still taken to bag a third victory here and extend her successful run to four after her likeable all-the-way win at Market Rasen last time out. Summergrounds is knocking on the door but could again have to settle for second, while Blue Fin is weighted to go well if back on song and course winner Kingston Narcissus is in the mix too.
