Selected odds by:

Guguss Collonges¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: David Noonan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 101

16/1

Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't seen to anything like best effect when last of 8 over 19f here in May, badly hampered home turn and not recover. Remains one not to give up on just yet.

Form: 7446U-8

Celtic Tara²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 98

18/1

Low-mileage filly who offered something to work on returning from 19 months off when fourth of 9 in a Perth handicap (20f) last month, noted finishing with running left. Possible she can build on that

Form: 7877/4

Thirtyfourstitches⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 97

7/2

Battled well to double career tally at Market Rasen (23f) in August. Not disgraced from inflated mark when midfield at Worcester (23f) since and he may do better having joined another shrewd outfit.

Form: 99-1617

Sixty Dollars More¹⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 96

22/1

Back on track when fourth in a Newton Abbot maiden (18.5f) in April. Not in same form on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in May, beaten when mistake 3 out. Still, it remains early days.

Form: 9594-0

Sixties Secret¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 91

11/2

Returned to form on the back of a break of late, runner-up at Plumpton and similar form when third at Huntingdon (19.6f) 15 days ago. No reason why she won't go well again in present groove.

Form: 6659-23

Briac²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: J E Moore| T: A West| OR: 91| D

20/1

Hurdles/chase winner in 2019 who ran best race since when runner-up over fences at Warwick (20f) in May. No show on the Flat at Kempton last month but that should have sharpened him up ahead of this.

Form: 009/9-72

White Hart Lady²⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 85

7/2

Went backwards from debut bumper success early last year and limited impact in mares' maiden/novice hurdles last winter. Still, she's in good hands and market should guide now handicapping.

Form: 954/9F8-

No Worries¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 81| BF

4/1

Followed up Worcester success (20f) with ready victory in 17f handicap at Les Landes in Jersey last month. Not seen to best effect when second here (19.2f) since and holds leading claims.

Form: 7-05112

Teenage Dirtbag^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Dylan Kitts⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 76

9/2

Maiden who has displayed better signs equipped with headgear, doing well to finish third at Worcester (23f) last month having been overly keen. Each-way player once more.

Form: 0P62-43

Forecasts

Thirtyfourstitches (7/2), White Hart Lady (7/2), No Worries (4/1), Teenage Dirtbag (9/2), Sixties Secret (11/2), Imphal (13/2), Jungle Prose (12/1), Guguss Collonges (16/1), Celtic Tara (18/1), Briac (20/1), Sixty Dollars More (22/1), Sue Be It (33/1)

A dual hurdles winner this summer, NO WORRIES had little go right in his hat-trick bid over shorter here 19 days ago, stumbling badly having been snatched up and unable to reel in the leader. He's well worth another chance from the same mark and earns the vote to come out on top. Imphal, who noticeably travelled well at Plumpton recently, Teenage Dirtbag and Celtic Tara head up the dangers.
