10/3

Placed in a couple of bumpers and benefited from step up in trip when landing a Catterick novice (19f) on hurdles debut in December. Matched rather than built on that in handicaps since, running respectably after 6 months off when third of 7 in 2½m event here 16 days ago. Respected.

11/4

Off the mark in a Sedgefield maiden in April. More miss than hit since but fared better than of late in a reapplied tongue strap when third of 12 in 3m handicap at Chepstow (soft) 19 days ago. Must enter calculations with Cobden taking over from 7-lb claimer.

Form: 10-5743

Romany Brown^t⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: J J Burke| T: B I Case| OR: 102

9/1

Off the mark in a Killarney maiden hurdle (17f) on final outing for previous connections. Hasn't reached anywhere near those heights since joining current yard though, struggling to get competitive in a steadily-run handicap at Worcester on most recent outing. Tongue strap on for first time.

Form: 39F-445

80/1

Won a maiden hurdle in Ireland for Stuart Crawford last summer but has shown nothing in a trio of starts for his new yard. Easily passed over.

Form: 7150P-P

Stylish Recruit^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: P W Wadge| T: A M Thomson| OR: 99

18/1

Forward-going type who saw off 3 next-time-out winners when registering win number 3 at Hexham (23f) in late-June. Shaped as if needing the run there 3 months on but his yard still appears to be finding its feet for the season.

Form: 1-65215

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 91

33/1

Novice hurdle winner at Newcastle in December 2024 but that was a weak race and she went backwards from her chasing debut when well beaten at Uttoxeter (3m) in May 2025, looking less than straightforward. Off since.

Helsgetaway^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: B S Hughes| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 90

15/2

Maiden who looked rusty after 4 months off when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (21f, good to firm) 26 days ago, barely adequate test. Eased 2 lb and this at least represents a return to further.

Form: F40-335

Fairly Fulling^p,t³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 89

12/1

Belatedly off the mark in a 15-runner handicap at Newcastle (2½m) in March and added to his tally when seeing off 9 rivals over 2½m at Perth in July. Raised 6 lb and failed to get home back up in trip there 6 weeks later, though.

Form: 41-P418

Glory Hights^p²¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR: 84

12/1

Remains with just one win to his name and turned in a rare poor effort at Newcastle when last seen in March, though does have each-way claims on the pick of his form if bouncing back on this return to action.

Form: P95246-

Magic Gloves^t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 82

15/2

Ran better than for a while stepped up in trip when second over 3m at Perth in August but merely underlined inconsistency when below-par fifth of 12 in a similar event there the following month.

Form: 480-025

Lillistar³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 78

9/2

Is still to win over hurdles but again ran creditably when third of 8 in 2½m handicap at Sedgefield (2½m, good) 31 days ago. Reunited with handy 5-lb claimer and could go well once more from 1 lb out of the weights.

Bright Legend (11/4), Noonetellsmenothin (10/3), Lillistar (9/2), Midnight Bella (9/2), Robber's Bridge (13/2), Helsgetaway (15/2), Magic Gloves (15/2), Romany Brown (9/1), October Hill (10/1), Fairly Fulling (12/1), Glory Hights (12/1), Colonel Jack (12/1), Stylish Recruit (18/1), Giveupyerauldsins (33/1), Dramatic License (80/1)

MIDNIGHT BELLA left her previous efforts over hurdles well behind when runner-up on her handicap debut at Newcastle in March and, with that form having proven strong, she's taken to go one better on her return to action, especially with her yard beginning to hit stride. Bright Legend, Noonetellsmenothin and Robber's Bridge complete the shortlist.
