Swaffham Bulbeck³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 130| CD

13/2

Fairly useful hurdler who opened his account over fences in a 3-runner novice over C&D over a year ago. Solid return on the Flat last month, so worthy of respect.

Peltwell^p⁷⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 124| D

25/1

Won all 7 starts in 2021 and having found the Swinton a bit too much, she was back in the winners' enclosure at Newton Abbot in June. Unseated at Cartmel 76 days ago but might not have finished improving.

Form: 11U-01U

Bucko's Boy^p³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 116| D

9/2

Bolted up at this course in July and wasn't disgraced after an 8-lb rise when third of 5 here (16.8f) a month ago. This is an easier contest, and he makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 5-23413

Soul Icon^h,t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 108| CD

4/6

Has proved a different proposition since switched to handicaps, making it 5 wins from 6 starts over C&D last month. Still progressing and should take the beating again.

Form: 112-111

Thahab Ifraj⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 107| CD

12/1

Reliable type who was quickly back on his game when landing a C&D handicap 43 days ago. Looks vulnerable in a more competitive event, though.

Form: 2-42351

Denable¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Carson| OR: 101

8/1

5/1, another career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 17 days ago. Arrives on the up and worthy of respect in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 8668-11

Forecasts

Soul Icon (4/6), Bucko's Boy (9/2), Swaffham Bulbeck (13/2), Denable (8/1), Kannapolis (10/1), Thahab Ifraj (12/1), Peltwell (25/1)

SOUL ICON has been highly progressive in handicap hurdles and, having scored readily again over C&D last time, he's worth a chance to gain his sixth win from his last seven starts. The hat-trick seeking Denable could emerge as the main danger, although Bucko's Boy is hard to rule out.
