16

0.25/1(+24%)
(9) Bushypark 0.25/1, Successful on Irish point debut in January and landed huge gamble when making most over C&D last month. Made light of a 15 lb rise at Haydock last week so can't be opposed from same mark here.

Itsnotyouitsme

12
12/1(+14%)
(4) Itsnotyouitsme 12/1, Improved when third in a Wetherby novice on final start of last season. Looked in need of the run on reappearance but ended up going backwards from that at Carlisle 40 days ago. Makes handicap bow.

Gelboe De Chanay

40
40/1(-21%)
(2) Gelboe De Chanay 40/1, Ex-French winning hurdler. Yet to hit top form for new yard and could only consider if the subject of significant market support.

(5) Loughermore 8/1, Hinted at promise when twice fourth in 20f novice hurdles at Carlisle. Shaped similarly when third on handicap bow at Wetherby a fortnight ago but likely to need help from the handicapper.

The Pine Martin

33
33/1(-230%)
(10) The Pine Martin 33/1, Quickened clear in good style to make a winning start for this yard here in May 2017. Very lightly raced since (only 4 subsequent runs) and makes return after 9 months off the track.

Toi Storey

14

Romeo Brown

9
9/1(+50%)
(6) Romeo Brown 9/1, Found just one too good at Carlise on return last season but hasn't got near that form in 3 starts this term, let down by jumping and possibly amiss at Newcastle in first-time cheekpieces last month.

Flaming Glory

8
8/1(+33%)
(11) Flaming Glory 8/1, Still a maiden, and he went backwards from chasing debut third when only eighth of 13 in 3m handicap chase (4/1) at Kelso 46 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for now with something to prove.

(7) Leverock Lass 8.5/1, Modest 20f winner over hurdles who (28/1) returned with good third of 5 in novice chase over C&D (heavy) 21 days ago. Needs more though back in handicap company now.

The Dawn Man

8
8/1(-33%)
(5) The Dawn Man 8/1, Landed a gamble on yard debut in 3m Wetherby handicap chase in March but pulled up at Fontwell (21.6f) only run since. Back after 9 months off now but not taken lightly.

Ciarabella

18
18/1(-29%)
(12) Ciarabella 18/1, 40/1 on first run for 15 months/yard debut but posted good third of 12 in 25f handicap chase at Cartmel in August. Needs another step forward if she's to open her account though.

Smuggler's Stash

16
16/1(-33%)
(4) Smuggler's Stash 16/1, C&D winner but he's unreliable and ran a moody race on reappearane when only eighth of 10 in handicap chase (11/2) over C&D 60 days ago. Easily opposed.
2
7th (2) Mymilan (4.5/1 -13%)
Mymilan

4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(2) Mymilan 4.5/1, Low-mileage chaser who posted good fourth in first-time cheekpieces in 20f handicap at Carlisle 30 days ago. Back up in trip now so bold showing is very much on the cards for in-form yard.
14
8th (14) Hopefull (20/1 +9%)
Hopefull

20
20/1(+9%)
(14) Hopefull 20/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser but she wasn't disgraced when fifth of 12 in 20f handicap chase at Ayr (40/1) 9 days ago. More needed if she's to gain her first win however.

More Madness

22
22/1(-10%)
(10) More Madness 22/1, Veteran chaser who is without a win since 2103 and back with former yard after over 2 years off. Easy to look elsewhere.

40
40/1(+0%)
(15) Gold Man 40/1, Lightly-raced veteran hurdler/chaser who ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces in 20f handicap chase at Bangor 70 days ago. Visor tried now but readily opposed.
8
11th (8) Buzzkillbob (33/1 -200%)
Buzzkillbob

33
33/1(-200%)
(8) Buzzkillbob 33/1, Modest maiden chaser in Ireland for Sean Byrne when last seen on track over 2 years ago. In good hands so no forlorn hope on comeback run and market can guide.

Spirit Of Hale

7.5
7.5/1(+38%)
(9) Spirit Of Hale 7.5/1, Fair staying chaser when in the mood but yet to hit top form in two runs this term, fifth of 9 in 26f handicap chase (9/1) at Sedgefield 15 days ago. Not one to rely on.
1

Crank Em Up

14
14/1(+0%)
(1) Crank Em Up 14/1, Unreliable chaser but he wasn't disgraced after 12 months off when sixth of 9 in 4m handicap here 21 days ago. Blinkers back on but others still appeal more.

Purple Harry

50
50/1(+24%)
(6) Purple Harry 50/1, Ended last season out of sorts, 40/1 when pulled up in 3m handicap chase at Wetherby final run. Has lot to prove on comeback so others are more persuasive.

(2) Fairfield Ferrata 2.75/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress in bumpers when landing 10-runner contest at Ayr a month ago. Sister to a couple of winning hurdlers and she has to be taken seriously.

West End Lady

1.38
1.38/1(-25%)
(10) West End Lady 1.38/1, Westerner half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Oscar Nomination. Pulled up sole start in an Irish point a year ago but much more like it when third in a heavy-ground novice over C&D a month ago.

Charm Offensive

2.75
2.75/1(+54%)
(1) Charm Offensive 2.75/1, Really strong at the finish when runner-up in Ayr bumper on debut a year ago. Disappointing 2 months later and minor promise only on C&D hurdles bow last month, though form of stable is a plus.

Miss Tara Moss

18
18/1(+45%)
(5) Miss Tara Moss 18/1, Kayf Tara mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Midnight Moss. Big price and merely hinted at ability on debut at Uttoxeter.

Princess Avery

66
66/1(-32%)
(7) Princess Avery 66/1, Closely related to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Definitelyanoscar, and half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Towering. Maiden Irish pointer and never on terms on hurdles bow in last year.

Not Your Choice

80
80/1(-60%)
(6) Not Your Choice 80/1, Bred to need time and distance, so no great surprise he failed to make an impact in a brace of bumpers this autumn.

That's Your Lottie

250
250/1(-25%)
(9) That's Your Lottie 250/1, Beaten a long way in 2 bumpers at the beginning of the year and same story on hurdles debut minus the hood (which is now back on with a tongue tie added).

3.2
3.2/1(-7%)

(3) Orioninverness 4/1, Bounced back to form in a change of headgear to win 2 of last 3 starts, including when dead-heating over C&D 6 weeks ago. Needs considering in current mood.
2

Solid Strike

12
12/1(-140%)
(2) Solid Strike 12/1, Sole win came over this C&D in March 2019. Back to form when second at Newcastle on final start last season, a tad unfortunate to come up against an Irish-trained one that was patently well-in.

Cudgel

5

(6) Cudgel 5/1, Second C&D win when edging ahead close home on reappearance (heavy) 33 days ago. Only raised 3 lb and likely to give another good account of himself.

(10) Espoir Moriviere 9/1, Successful at Wetherby on final outing last term and awarded a handicap (bumped significantly close home) at Ayr on return. Subsequent fifth at Newcastle no more than respectable, though.

Golan Cloud

1.2
1.2/1(+52%)
(8) Golan Cloud 1.2/1, Bumped into one well ahead of its mark when second on 2½m course reappearance 3 weeks ago. Saw the rest off fairly comfortably and he's a major player here for a yard which continues in good form.
11

Oliver's Island

33
33/1(-83%)
(11) Oliver's Island 33/1, Took advantage of reduced mark when landing 3m handicap hurdle at Southwell in March. Peak fitness does have to be taken on trust on this first outing since, though.

Fame And Hope

20
20/1(-25%)
(7) Fame And Hope 20/1, Lightly raced but no significant impact in handicaps on last 2 starts so will need to raise her game a little to go close.

Saint Jude

40
40/1(-21%)
(13) Saint Jude 40/1, First piece of worthwhile form when third of 13 over C&D in September but behind a couple of these rivals when well-held seventh over 2½m here since. Has a first-time tongue tie added to cheekpieces.

Final Fling

12
12/1(-9%)
(4) Final Fling 12/1, Doesn't look as good as he once was but mark is beginning to reflect that and he's performed respectably on both outings this term. Former C&D winner. Acts on heavy. Each-way claims.
1

Dequall

14
14/1(-27%)
(1) Dequall 14/1, Raised his game when making a winning reappearance over 2½m here (heavy) in October but not in the same form when remote fourth at this venue (2½m again) since. Now steps up to 3m for first time.
5

A Ladies Milan

40
40/1(-264%)
(5) A Ladies Milan 40/1, Still without a win but his third in a 3m chase here in September was a creditable run and he's a contender if bouncing back from a lesser effort last time now returning to hurdles.
12

Love At Dawn

8
8/1(+43%)
(12) Love At Dawn 8/1, No impact in handicaps for Peter Niven in 2018/19 but better signs for new yard when 18 lengths third (Golan Cloud 7 lengths ahead in second) on 2½m course return 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip.
3

Wind Of Hope

50

2

The Very Thing

20
20/1(-186%)
(2) The Very Thing 20/1, Better signs for this yard when second at Wetherby in March and may have just needed the run when 9 lengths fourth of 7 on C&D return 33 days ago.
9

Western Sunrise

(9) Western Sunrise 50/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2018. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in 2m handicap at Chepstow 43 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Yard not going too badly so worth a market check.

5.5

Dunly

Nettlebush

12
