Nells Son¹⁹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 125| C

6/1

Veteran course winner. Largely below par last term but better signs after a breathing operation when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Perth (2½m, good) in April. Needs to hit the ground running on his return.

Dream's Ka^t⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: K Scott| OR: 117| CD

11/1

Won a pair of 2½m handicaps at Bangor/Uttoxeter for Dan Skelton in early summer. Made a successful start for new yard in 5-runner handicap over C&D (good) in September. Up 6 lb but runner-up has gone in since so needs considering.

Fox's Fancy²⁰³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 115| D

22/1

Ended a losing run in 4-runner handicap at Ayr (21f) in March but pulled up there (3m, heavy) following month. Needs to get back on track after a 6-month absence.

Form: F4451P-

Jeriko De Baune¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 114

66/1

Bagged a third career hurdling success at Clonmel last November (3m). Ended his time for Philip Fenton with a below-par fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (3¼m, good to soft) in May. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Form: P063P-5

Moon Over America³⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 113| D

5/2

Winning Irish pointer. Runner-up in bumper at Ffos Las and built on that promise to land the odds in 7-runner novice at Market Rasen (21f, good to soft) on his hurdles bow 12 months ago. Yard is going well so not without interest on his handicap debut despite his absence.

Form: 12/1-

It's All About You^p,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 112

25/1

Landed a cross-code 4 timer in 2024/25 for Jennie Candlish but ended his time for that yard below par. Failed to build on debut third for new stable when seventh on the Flat at Nottingham 24 days ago. Back in this sphere with a bit to prove.

Form: 1137/4-9

Eloi Du Puy^p²³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 112| CD

40/1

Gained a gutsy success at Ayr in February but signed off for last term with a below-par seventh of 14 in handicap over C&D (good to soft) following month. He's a 3-time C&D scorer though so can't be dismissed after a layoff.

Form: U55217-

Hourman²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽⁷⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 112

5/2

Lightly-raced 5-y-o who made an impressive return when winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Hexham (2m, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Strong at the finish there so merits serious consideration back up in trip for his handicap debut.

Form: 46763-1

Winds Of Winter¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 106

22/1

Smooth-travelling mare who was narrowly denied a third Cartmel win in mid-July. Finished tamely (not for first time) when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, good to soft) 16 days ago. More is required.

Form: 453246

Heart Above¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Charlie Maggs| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 100| CD

7/1

Has a very good course record but not at his best when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle here (2m, good to soft) 14 days ago. Took this 12 months ago though (one of 3 wins here) so no surprise if he got back on track.

Form: 1P9534

Pure Gold⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 99

15/2

A 3-time 2m winner in 2025/26. Yet to add to that this season but proving consistent and not ideally placed when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (2m, good to soft) a week ago. Considered.

Form: 434364

Forecasts

Moon Over America (5/2), Hourman (5/2), Nells Son (6/1), Heart Above (7/1), Pure Gold (15/2), Dream's Ka (11/1), Fox's Fancy (22/1), Winds Of Winter (22/1), It's All About You (25/1), Eloi Du Puy (40/1), Jeriko De Baune (66/1)

HOURMAN looked an improved model when making an impressive winning reappearance at Hexham and with this return to a longer trip also a plus he gets a confident vote. Moon Over America returns from a year's absence but remains with potential and could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Pure Gold and last year's victor Heart Above.
