4YO plus | Class 5 | 2m 3f 123y | 8 Runners | Turf

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 105

Useful handicapper on Flat for Andrew Balding and placed on 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles for this yard last season. However, ran poorly back on the Flat at Chester in May and did do again returned to this sphere at Southwell the following month. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces after a break.

8/1

Landed a gamble back over fences on second start for current yard in 2m handicap at Uttoxeter in July and would've followed up under a penalty but for getting the last all wrong at Stratford 5 days later. However, proved a disappointment at Fontwell last time and now reverts to hurdling.

Rock Hurley^b,t⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Brown⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 102| CD

11/1

Had the run of the race when registering a second success at this venue (23f) in June, despite typically jumping less than fluently. Well held in a more competitive race at Uttoxeter last time, though. 10 lb claimer now takes over in the saddle.

Form: 004-310

Lunar Orbit^h,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 104| BF

6/4

Fairly useful at up to 1m on Flat and justified support to land a Market Rasen juvenile in December prior to reverting to headstrong ways at Huntingdon. Tongue tied and no match for an improver on first start for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot (17f) 17 days ago but it remains early days for top yard.

Form: 2P315-2

Zamond¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 100| D

5/2

Veteran who resumed winning ways at Cartmel (17.2f) in July and confirmed himself better than ever when finding only one too good back there (17f) 10 days ago. Likely to remain competitive.

Form: 82-8212

Dream Jet^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: B Ellison| OR: 97

13/2

Disappointing in 3 runs over fences this season but went with more fluency back over hurdles in refitted headgear with second in 8-runner handicap at Stratford (19f, good) 14 days ago. Task is now to build on that.

Form: 39-3842

Auntie Maggie⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: C Gethings| T: A Ralph| OR: 90

8/1

Not the easiest to catch right but quickly bounced back from a lesser effort reverting to hurdling when fourth of 11 in a 2m handicap at Uttoxeter (good to soft) 46 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 63-52P4

Forecasts

Zamond (9/4), Lunar Orbit (11/4), Auntie Maggie (7/2), Dream Jet (6/1), Rock Hurley (10/1), Person Of Interest (12/1), Cappa Lass (14/1), Who's Glen (25/1)

LUNAR ORBIT was no match for an improver on his first start for Dan Skelton at Newton Abbot recently, but it remains early days and he's worth another chance down in grade. Zamond arrives better than ever aged 10 and is likely to remain competitive, while Dream Jet has possibilities if building on a more encouraging run at Stratford a fortnight ago.
