Arcandy¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd

100/1

Third in point bumper in April but ran to just a poor level when fifth in a 2m Hexham novice hurdle on Rules debut 17 days ago.

Form: 3-5

Cancan^h⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: N W Alexander| OR: 100| BF

5/2

Fair maiden who was placed for the fourth start in succession when third in 2½m Perth novice in September. Quite a keen goer so drop back to 2m a help if anything. Also has a hood refitted.

Form: 7433-23

Gustav's Dream¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Bruce Lynn⁽⁵⁾| T: N W Alexander

200/1

Well behind Ramble West in a Musselburgh bumper 19 days ago and Cancan looks very much the yard first string.

Form: 6

Joanna I'm Fine¹⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs J Stephen

200/1

Well beaten in a pair of Kelso bumpers and a likely outsider now hurdling.

Form: 09

K C Bailey²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: Ewan Whillans

66/1

Well held in 2 bumpers. Offered more when fifth in a 2m Hexham novice hurdle in June but pulled up on return to action at Carlisle 3 weeks ago.

Form: 78-5P

Mary's Glance²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: S Mulqueen| T: K Scott

100/1

More one for the longer term judged on her run in a bumper here last month.

Form: 7

Midnight Legacy²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

50/1

£40,000 point purchase but hasn't shown a great deal in a bumper/2 novice hurdles under Rules. Can only watch.

Form: 14/P-0

Miss Milano

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards

10/1

€40,000 Milan mare. Closely related to bumper winner Mcgregor's Cottage. Dam (h102), bumper/2m/17f hurdle winner. In a good stable and makes some appeal on paper, so one to note on debut.

Form:

Nordic Express¹⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: D R Fox| T: I A Duncan

300/1

Well held in 2 bumpers at the start of the summer and likely up against it now hurdling.

Form: 78

Rae Des Champs²⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin

7/2

Cost £90,000 after winning her sole start in Irish points in May. Interesting runner.

Form: 1-

Ramble West¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| D

10/11

Irish point recruit who looked a nice prospect for her very much in-form stable when a wide-margin winner of a Musselburgh bumper at the start of the month. Probably the one to beat now hurdling.

Form: 22F-1

Ripplet⁹³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M ThomsonWS

28/1

Won a small-field Exeter bumper in autumn 2018 but made little impact on the Flat for Hughie Morrison in 2019. Had wind surgery ahead of this belated return to action for a new yard. Can only watch.

Form: 16/

Forecasts

Ramble West (10/11), Ailie Rose (7/4), Cancan (5/2), Rae Des Champs (7/2), Miss Milano (10/1), Ripplet (28/1), Midnight Legacy (50/1), K C Bailey (66/1), Mary's Glance (100/1), Arcandy (100/1), Gustav's Dream (200/1), Joanna I'm Fine (200/1), Nordic Express (300/1)

There was a lot to like about RAMBLE WEST's performance in a Musselburgh bumper recently and she's fancied to follow up for a stable which continues to knock in the winners on a regular basis. Rae des Champs is an interesting recruit from the pointing field and may provide the main threat. Miss Milano is a newcomer to note in the market, with Cancan best of those with hurdle experience.
