Settings
Selected odds by:
Fair form when twice placed in maiden hurdles, and shaped with more encouragement than on his return when third at Ascot a fornight ago, noted doing his best work late on. Another step forward needed.
|
Fairly useful in bumpers and best run over hurdles when second at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in September. Shaped like a non-stayer at Worcester later that month and high on the shortlist on handicap bow.
|
Hereford maiden winner. Given a chance by the handicapper but probably needed the run on first outing since leaving Tom Symonds after 5 months off at Carlisle last month. Drops further in weights.
|
Creditable fourth of 9 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) but next 2 outings left plenty to be desired, tailed off at this track just 48 hours from Fakenham flop last month.
|
Stepped up plenty on previous exploits when running out a shock 66/1 on handicap debut at Ffos Las (15.8f) in February. Not in anything like the same form both starts since and makes return here.
|
Maiden Irish pointer who struggled in a pair of handicaps back in the spring. Possibly still needed the run back in handicap company at Ludlow last month and this should reveal more.
|
Showed more than previously after 7 months off when ninth of 14 in novice hurdle (200/1) at this C&D (soft) 15 days ago, albeit well positioned. Market support should be noted on handicap debut.
|
Irish point winner who showed the benefit of a breathing operation/first-time tongue tie straight away when scoring at Carlisle on handicap debut back in April. Up 6 lb but respected on reappearance.
|
Took advantage of a weak race to get off the mark at Bangor in May. Not in the same form at Southwell last time, and makes return after 5 months off the track here.
|
Tailed off in a 4-y-o hurdle in France but having undergone a breathing operation, hinted at ability when sixth in 16.2f Kelso maiden hurdle 3 weeks ago. One to note on handicap debut.
|
Narrowly failed to make a successful debut for new connections at Bangor in August but not in same form after 6 weeks off at Huntingdon since. Player if leaving that effort well behind.

Forecasts
Zulu Dawn (11/8), Nashville Nipper (4/1), Akkapenko (13/2), Presentedwithwings (8/1), Lucky Icon (10/1), Bebraveforglory (12/1), Edmond Dantes (14/1), Lunar Lander (14/1), Locallink (20/1), Top Drawer (22/1), Mossing (33/1), Committee Of One (33/1), Dionysis (40/1)
A few in with a chance but the vote goes to ZULU DAWN, who shaped like a non-stayer over 23f at Worcester in September. Graeme McPherson has since joined forces with Fergal O'Brien and he's taken to make a winning handicap debut for this red-hot operation. Presentedwithwings probably needed his reappearance so he's feared most with his mark tumbling further, ahead of Edmond Dantes.
