This Lovely Lady¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: M G Nolan| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 101

50/1

Not been with this yard long but tailed off on all starts over hurdles so far. Makes handicap debut today which should make life a little easier but hard to give weight away all round here.

Form: 424658

Cahill^p⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| OR: 93

6/1

Has taken a step forward the last twice and stayed on well having made all the running at Wincanton nine days ago. That was just a four-runner affair and up 7lb here which makes life a little tougher.

Form: 17P831

Macca's Stowaway^b¹⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bishop| OR: 98

66/1

Had three starts for Gordon Elliot and tailed off on all three occasions. Starts life for new yard today on the back of a summer break and market check required.

Form: 4/PP67-6

Norse Light^t,v¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: David Bass| T: David Dennis| OR: 97| CD

10/1

Placed off a 3lb higher mark over hurdles at Market Rasen (good) in May. Well held since including over fences last time and needs to return to very best of his form to be involved here.

Form: 14-2975

Misty Bloom¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 95

14/1

Placed in a bumper and a couple of hurdle races so far. Let down by some sloppy jumping on handicap debut at Worcester in July and quickly dropped 3lb. Looks on a fair mark on best efforts though and could be dangerous if jumping a little better.

Form: 052-23P

Alltimegold^v1¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 95

14/1

Tailed off in first two starts in handicaps earlier in the year. Returns from a summer break now and the visor goes on first time. Possible improver now and market check is essential.

Form: 09467-9

Silver Quay¹³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: W T Kennedy| T: J D Frost| OR: 93

40/1

Hasn't been able to improve on his novice form since starting off in handicaps over obstacles, and though he's slowly working down the weights he needs to show more before being of interest.

Form: 405-P65

All Hands On Deck^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: N D Fehily| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 93

8/1

Showed improved form on first start in handicaps when a well held second at Hereford three weeks ago. Races off the same mark here and should be involved once more if able to back that effort up here.

Form: 5-64062

Getadollar^p1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 90

25/1

Best effort over hurdles to date over this C&D last time when a well-held third. Cheekpieces now go on for handicap debut and has potential to improve in this sphere.

Form: P37573

Big Picture^b⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Farrelly| OR: 86| BF

6/1

Winner at Market Rasen in June but has disappointed several times since including when sent off favourite at Worcester last time when racing awkwardly late on. Down 2lb here but that last run was pretty off-putting.

Form: 0-31506

Double Court³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 86| D

7/2

Winning for the second time when getting up under a very strong ride at Market Rasen last time. Raised 6lb for that win which asks another question but he is at least in good form and should go well again.

Form: 447-431

Flighty Filia^b²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Bryony Frost⁽³⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 85

16/1

Lightly raced over the last couple of years and has been badly out of touch. Well held on return at Newton Abbot last month and is down another 4lb. Starting to look dangerously well handicapped and it would be no surprise if showing more now.

Form: 6/84PP-9

Ladies Dancing¹⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 84| D

18/1

Into the veteran stage now but recorded a good win at Stratford off 7lb lower in August. Not so good next time but ran a cracker here again last time and remains in good form.

Form: 9731P3

Scorpion Star^p¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁷⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 83| D

9/1

Returned to form with a win in a seller two starts back but found handicap company a bit too hot again last time. Didn't run badly but needs to do more to be involved in the finish.

Form: 63P418

Mount Vesuvius^t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson| OR: 83| C

20/1

Drop in trip did the trick when coming through to win nicely at Plumpton (2m4½f) last time. Only nudged up 4lb for that and down in trip again here. Major player if backing that win up.

Form: 34P-681

Definite Winner^t¹²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 78

20/1

Beaten in six bumpers for Gordon Elliott and hasn't shown much over hurdles since joining current yard in December. Still in there pitching when falling at Worcester in the summer and returns from a four-month absence.

Form: 7P-098F

Kilcaragh Boy^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 69

20/1

Only won once in 41 starts and races from out the handicap here. Should find this tough going and readily opposed.

Form: 5575F8

No No Cardinal^p³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 67

25/1

Well-held when falling on both recent starts. Races from out the weights here and up against it in a very competitive race.

Form: 6232FF

Forecasts

Double Court (7/2), Cahill (6/1), Big Picture (6/1), All Hands On Deck (8/1), Scorpion Star (9/1), Norse Light (10/1), Misty Bloom (14/1), Alltimegold (14/1), Flighty Filia (16/1), Ladies Dancing (18/1), Kilcaragh Boy (20/1), Mount Vesuvius (20/1), Definite Winner (20/1), Getadollar (25/1), No No Cardinal (25/1), Silver Quay (40/1), This Lovely Lady (50/1), Macca's Stowaway (66/1)

Double Court won well under a strong ride last time and should play a part here if in a similar mood. ALLHANDSONDECK made an encouraging start in handicaps at Hereford last time and will be a major player if able to build on that now. Any sort of market support for either Alltimegold or Flighty Filia should be taken very seriously as both are lurking on potentially dangerous marks.
