11/4

Winning pointer who matched best hurdles form on second chase start when runner-up at Fontwell 6 weeks ago, jumping much more convincing this time. Entitled to come on again so player.

Form: 04-5562

Arctic Stream^p³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: R Bandey| OR: 83

7/1

Low-mileage 9-y-o who failed to make an impact in 4 starts over timber and similar story on chase debut last month.

Form: 5/596-P6

Lynsey Larue²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones| T: Evan Williams| OR: 75| D

13/2

Dual Irish point winner but little solid form in varied events under Rules.

Form: 9753U4

Voleur De Terres⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 66| D

6/4

Dual winning Irish pointer caused a major surprise from 5 lb out of the handicap when winning at Leicester last week, her first worthwhile form under Rules. Effectively only 2 lb higher here despite a 7 lb penalty, so obvious claims.

Form: 8P-P641

Wishful Wings¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 78

7/1

Runner-up on second of 2 outings in Irish points but down the field completed start over hurdles. Makes handicap/chase debut.

Form: 52-P08

Firefly Lane^t¹⁸³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Hammond| T: J D Frost| OR: 69| D

12/1

Failed to complete all 3 starts in the summer but she did hint at a revival on penultimate outing and returns on a potentially handy mark. Worth a market check.

Form: 033-PFP

Forecasts

Voleur De Terres (6/4), Only Gossip (11/4), Lynsey Larue (13/2), Wishful Wings (7/1), Arctic Stream (7/1), Firefly Lane (12/1), Cracker Muddle (25/1)

VOLEUR DE TERRES was value for extra when showing her first form to win at Leicester last week and is effectively only 2 lb higher here. She looks the andwer, though Only Gossip jumped much better on her second start over fences when runner-up at Fontwell and is the obvious threat. Firefly Lane and Cracker Muddle are worth a market check.
