Selected odds by:

Manjaam^p,t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: D Loughnane| D

12/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who landed odds in jumpers bumper at Newcastle (2m) debut 9 days ago. Proven on this surface too, so he's sure to be in the mix once more despite saddling 6 lb penalty.

Form: 72341

Belargus⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Gifford| D

11/1

Winless since early 2019 but he arrives on the back of good second of 9 in 2m handicap chase at Warwick 63 days ago. Considered.

Form: 437-2F2

Beyond The Clouds¹³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: C E Longsdon| DWS

10/3

Made very good start for new yard this summer, scoring in 2m Uttoxeter handicap before fifth off 6 lb higher at Market Rasen. Lacks a recent run but has won off a break before so he's much respected.

Form: 110/215

Bridle Loanan⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| D

50/1

Winning pointer but lightly raced and followed wide-margin 19.5f Fontwell handicap chase win with poor effort at Newbury 44 days ago. Not easiest to catch right.

Form: 651-716

Court Royale⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| D

40/1

Three-time hurdles winner who has also scored twice over fences this term at Stratford and Taunton. Still in second when pulled up after bad error 3 out at Ffos Las last time so should be competitive.

Form: 81P31P

Earth Moor⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

7/1

Useful winning hurdler who opened his account over fences in good style in 21f Fontwell handicap before fair fifth off 8 lb higher at Newbury. Former bumper winner too, so he's not taken lightly.

Form: 201-515

Golden Taipan^t⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| D

16/1

Scored 3 times in maiden/novice hurdles but yet to match that level over fences, not really convincing with his jumping at times. Capable of useful form though so not dismissed in this sphere.

Form: 2P-4F24

Heart Of Kernow^h1¹⁹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

150/1

One-time fair hurdler who is firmly on the downgrade, beating only one after 9 months off in Bangor handicap in July. Hood goes on and very hard to make a case for.

Form: 1F9/UP-8

Millers Bank^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| D

5/1

Useful hurdler who got back on track with win in 2m handicap hurdle (7/1) here 33 days ago. Still quite lightly raced, so he needs considering switched to bumpers.

Form: 211-981

Minella Whisper⁸²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips

200/1

Fair winning hurdler at his best but well-held fifth after 30 months off in 25f Huntingdon handicap in November. Easily opposed.

Form: 63137/5

Myplaceatmidnight⁷⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King

17/2

Rather inconsistent over hurdles and looked anything but a natural over fences on chase debut at Doncaster where he exited at the third-last (struggling at the time). Capable in this sphere though.

Form: 2528-4F

Sadma⁵⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Max Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lampard| D

300/1

Fair 2m hurdle winner at Hereford last term but well held all three starts this time round, including over fences. Has something to prove on bumpers debut.

Form: 233-976

Torcello¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Page Fuller| T: S Lycett| D

12/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who posted easily his best effort over hurdles for over 2 years when runner-up in 2m Taunton handicap 19 days ago. In the mix on his bumpers bow.

Form: 09/00-02

Lust For Glory³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| D

3/1

Dual novice hurdle winner who posted fairly useful effort when gaining first chasing success in 2m3f Wetherby novice 30 days ago. Bumper scorer too so she's an interesting contender for leading yard.

Form: 2042-41

Forecasts

Lust For Glory (3/1), Beyond The Clouds (10/3), Millers Bank (5/1), Earth Moor (7/1), Myplaceatmidnight (17/2), Belargus (11/1), Torcello (12/1), Manjaam (12/1), Golden Taipan (16/1), Court Royale (40/1), Bridle Loanan (50/1), Heart Of Kernow (150/1), Minella Whisper (200/1), Sadma (300/1)

Nicky Henderson's upwardly-mobile mare LUST FOR GLORY was a taking winner over fences at Wetherby last month and is fancied to follow up here at the chief expense of Millers Bank, who also arrives on the back of a recent success over hurdles and has the scope for further progress. Talented Flat performer Torcello is another with the ability to have a say in a competitive bumper.
