Shrugged off any element of rustiness with a battling display when making a winning handicap hurdle debut at Uttoxeter in May. Run possibly came too soon at Aintree 13 days later and remains well treated on recent Flat exploits.
|
Gained reward for her consistency when getting off the mark in a weakly-contested mares maiden at Fakenham (2m) in May. Probably needed the run (after 3 months off) when well held back on the level at Chester 18 days ago but is 7 lb higher than when last seen in a handicap over hurdles.
|
Free-going front runner who got off the mark over C&D last October. Stepped up on her comeback run when second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (17f) in July and beaten less than a length over C&D since. Maggs a positive jockey booking and seems likely to go well again.
|
C&D winner who has been out of sorts on the Flat of late and fared little better back over hurdles at Stratford recently. Cheekpieces on for first time.
|
Caught the eye when third on handicap debut over hurdles at Market Rasen (16.6f) in May and again when filling the same spot back on the Flat at Catterick in July. Hasn't built on that promise since but possibly found the race coming too soon on his most recent jumps start and could yet come good.
|
Recorded a first success since landing this corresponding event in 2024 in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Kelso (2¼m, good) 13 days ago, edging ahead late on. Should remain competitive from a 4 lb higher mark.
|
Long-standing maiden who ran one of this season's better races when third in 10-runner handicap over C&D (good) 15 days ago. Not sure to be in the same form from 8 lb out of the weights, though.

Forecasts
Spartan Times (13/8), Jolie Coeur Allen (3/1), Cawthorne Cracker (7/2), Made All (6/1), Alibey (14/1), Langton Wold (16/1), Mr Globalist (28/1)
SPARTAN TIMES is still unexposed as a hurdler and looks well-in based on his recent Flat exploits, so he makes plenty of appeal. Jolie Coeur Allen wasn't beaten far over C&D on his most recent outing and should go well again with Charlie Maggs a positive jockey booking. Recent winner Cawthorne Cracker is also respected.
