Selected odds by:

Hey Frankie²³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Luca Morgan| T: M Scudamore| OR: 97

6/1

Going the right way, second again in 23f Worcester mares' handicap hurdle 3 weeks ago, and surely has a race in her.

Form: 26-3222

Fred Bear^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽³⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 98

13/2

Juvenile hurdle winner this time last year and scored on the level in June. Gamble went astray last time but not badly treated returning to jumping.

Form: 6227-24

Lil Codey^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Angus Cheleda| T: B Barr| OR: 87

9/1

Long-standing maiden who has run respectably at Worcester (23f) the last twice, including behind Hey Frankie latest. More needed.

Form: 3-63644

Monty's Award²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: N F Houlihan| T: A Irvine| OR: 86

10/1

Dual handicap chase winner in 2020-21. Claims on his Worcester third in June from 5 lb higher.

Form: 0B-6376

Rebel Royal^b²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Lily Pinchin| T: B I Case| OR: 80

17/2

Didn't get home over 23f at Worcester 4 weeks ago and had previously been in good form. Long losing run is a concern, though.

Form: 5P-F435

Getaway Cory^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Godfrey| T: K Woollacott| OR: 79| BF

6/1

Yet to win but strong claims on penultimate Worcester second (winner ran to 106, third scored next time) having dropped another 3 lb in the weights.

Form: 34-8723

Dynamic Kate^p,t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 79

7/2

Still searching for her first win and proving expensive to follow, set for a frame finish (third or fourth in all likelihood) when coming to grief in luckless fashion in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester 5 weeks ago.

Form: 2343-3U

Norman Kindu^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: K Brogan| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 82

14/1

Fair Flat winner and showed first real form over hurdles at Bangor (23f) under this rider 3 weeks ago. Not discounted.

Form: 84-504

Inferno Sacree⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Tom Buckley| T: N J Hawke| OR: 78

5/1

Yet to better poor form, usually racing freely, and must rate a doubtful stayer over this trip with that in mind.

Form: 065-446

Forecasts

Dynamic Kate (7/2), Inferno Sacree (5/1), Getaway Cory (6/1), Hey Frankie (6/1), Fred Bear (13/2), Rebel Royal (17/2), Lil Codey (9/1), Monty's Award (10/1), Norman Kindu (14/1)

Difficult to make a solid case for any but GETAWAY CORY has a race in him judged on his penultimate Worcester second when bumping into a handicap blot and could be the way to go. Hey Frankie fared best of these that contested a mares' handicap at Worcester 3 weeks ago and is respected. Fred Bear completes the shortlist.
