Consistent sort who scored at Musselburgh in January and signed off with creditable fourth in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f). Ought to be in the shake-up.

11/4

Progressive last season, winning 2m handicap at Musselburgh in March and signing off with a good second in Kelso handicap (2m) 24 days later. Potential for better again as her stamina is drawn out. Big player.

10/1

Off the mark at Fakenham in May and in good form until turning in poor efforts on his last two starts at Uttoxeter amd Hexham. Sort to bounce back after a break.

Forecasts

Headscarf Lil (5/2), Rae Des Champs (11/4), The Rutland Rebel (6/1), Spantik (7/1), Zafar (15/2), Shighness (8/1), Guidedbythescience (10/1), Starlyte (12/1), Dora De Janeiro (20/1), Roxboro Road (66/1)

A few with chances but RAE DES CHAMPS ended last term on the up and with the prospect of more to come now she steps up in distance she looks the way to go. C&D winner Headscarf Lil is feared most if, as expected, building on her reappearance Carlisle sixth, with Zafar appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
