Now 13 lb below the mark off which he gained his latest success at Kelso last October, and has found just one too good on 2 of his 4 starts since undergoing a wind op. Should give another good account.

13/2
Dual winner of mares' handicap hurdles last season. Well held at Worcester off this mark when last seen in May, but she was successful on her sole start between the flags in 2020 and is worth a second look now switched to fences.

Winner of first 2 starts in this sphere in March/April 2021, but he ran no sort of a race when returning from 11 months off at Plumpton in April and now finds himself with a point to prove.

3/1
Winless following 9 attempts in points and 0-20 under Rules. On the upside, he has acquitted himself well on each of his 3 starts for present connections, hitting the crossbar over 19.4f here last time, and a bold show is on the cards.

Scored over hurdles at Taunton in April and left previous efforts in this sphere well behind when headed close home in this headgear combination at Fontwell (19.5f) a fortnight ago. Big player if able to build on that.

Improved fitted with a tongue strap for the first time when runner-up at Leicester (2½m) in January, but he disappointed over the same C&D on final start of last season and his profile is far from compelling.

No better than mid-field in bumpers/over hurdles but has shown more spark since switched to fences, finishing second at Uttoxeter on his latest start in June. Couldn't rule out.

Forecasts

Clear On Top (9/4), Time To Bite (3/1), Bolsover Bill (4/1), Flying Verse (11/2), Rock On Rita (13/2), Counteract (16/1), Eairsidh (25/1)

16:29 Stratford - 15 October 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Tough she is the only one of these devoid of experience in this sphere, ROCK ON RITA could be worth chancing. She scored twice over hurdles last term and, as a winner of her sole start between the flags, there can be optimism that she will take to the larger obstacles at the first attempt. Time To Bite is now in 'longstanding maiden' territory but he is feared nonetheless on the back of a solid effort here 12 days ago. Bolsover Bill, Clear On Top and Flying Verse all merit respect, too.
