Jaisalmer^t⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Alfie Jordan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Bradstock| OR: 109| D

12/1

Scored at Warwick in April but hasn't fired since, so he might struggle to make an impact despite his tumbling mark.

Form: 41-0048

Brianna Rose¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 109

11/2

Placed in bumpers and struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in 2m Southwell maiden 18 days ago. Very much unexposed now moving into handicaps.

Form: 224721

Across The Channel²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Martin⁽¹⁰⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 99

9/2

Modest form and made no significant impact on his Sandown handicap debut 26 days ago. In good hands, though, and it's still early days.

Form: F1/06-86

Kalzari^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 111

18/1

Won a French claimer in September. Positive enough start for this yard when third at Leicester (2m) but he's run poorly in a Uttoxeter handicap since. Now up in trip with cheekpieces added.

Form: 2136

Just Go For It²⁹⁴

5/1

Hereford winner for Kevin Bishop in February. Fourth over 3m at Wincanton the following month. Drops in trip on return for a new trainer.

Form: 5/46F14-

Catchin Time^p¹⁸³

Age: 13| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽³⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 88

50/1

Veteran who snapped a long losing run back from a break at Wincanton in March. Good effort when second at Ludlow in May but off since a lesser run at Worcester in June.

Form: 5/017-28

Spirit Of Rome^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Archie Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 86| CD

9/2

Dual winner last season. Creditable third of 17 on her Wincanton reappearance 16 days ago. Ought to be in the mix.

Form: 361P4-3

Mi Laddo^p,t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Angus Cheleda| T: M F Harris| OR: 84| BF| C

7/2

Both hurdle wins gained over 2m here, the latter in October. Creditable runner-up efforts last twice and should be thereabouts again if his stamina holds now going back up in trip.

Form: 554122

Karakoram^p,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 83| BF

11/1

Losing run dates back to 2019 but dropped a long way in the weights and has recorded some creditable in-frame efforts this term. Found run of good form coming to halt latest, though.

Form: 7-42426

Ericas Lad⁹⁸⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Kimber| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 76

50/1

Won a handicap chase at Exeter in March 2019 but absent since April of that year and can only be watched back over hurdles on her belated return.

Forecasts

Mi Laddo (7/2), Spirit Of Rome (9/2), Across The Channel (9/2), Rhebus Road (9/2), Just Go For It (5/1), Brianna Rose (11/2), Karakoram (11/1), Jaisalmer (12/1), Miss Harriett (14/1), Kalzari (18/1), See The Eagle Fly (20/1), Catchin Time (50/1), Ericas Lad (50/1)

RHEBUS ROAD has an opening mark which looks workable based on his Flat ability so he's the suggestion. Brianna Rose is another unexposed sort and heads the dangers along with Spirit of Rome and Mi Laddo.
