Ilovethenightlife²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| D

5/2

Winning start over hurdles at Ffos Las 4 weeks ago. Can definitely improve on that bare form but she was a fair way behind Kateira when they clashed in a bumper at Aintree in the spring.

Form: 40-1

Buying Money²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: Mrs Stella Barclay

300/1

Big prices and well held in Bangor bumper and C&D maiden hurdle this autumn.

Form: U4-78

Fay Ce Que Voudras⁵⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee

12/1

Little impact in pair of bumpers but offered a lot more switched to hurdles when second at Ludlow (2m) in March 2021. Absent since but she retains potential on this belated return.

Form: 872/

Hidden Beauty²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| BF| D

9/4

Bumper winner on debut. Well beaten in listed company subsequently but was seemingly fancied (13/8 favourite) for her C&D hurdle debut last month only to be badly hampered and unable to avoid running out at the end of the back straight (looked to be going well).

Form: 1P8-R

Innisfree Lass²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds

28/1

9/1, sixth of 14 in bumper at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) on debut 25 days ago. Wastes no time switching to hurdles. Bred for longer trips.

Form: 6

Isabella Bee²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Max Kendrick| T: F O'Brien

50/1

Placed in points but never threatened in an Aintree bumper 4 weeks ago. Hidden Beauty has to be considered the yard first string unless the betting hints otherwise.

Form: 3-27

Kateira²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| D

15/8

Kayf Tara mare from a good family who looked good when making a winning start to her career in a bumper at Huntingdon in February. Respectable fifth of 20 in Aintree Grade 2 subsequently. Useful hurdle prospect.

Form: 15-

Minniemum^h¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly

12/1

From a good family and she was runner-up on the second of 3 bumpers starts last season. Kept on from well back for fourth on her 2m Huntingdon hurdle on her reappearance 12 days ago. Potential improver for her in-form stable.

Form: 420-4

Missed Vacation^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: W Greatrex

250/1

Positive start to her career when a clear second in a course bumper at the end of 2021 but she's gone backwards since, including never involved on her C&D hurdle debut 23 days ago.

Form: 260-77

Forecasts

Kateira (15/8), Hidden Beauty (9/4), Ilovethenightlife (5/2), Fay Ce Que Voudras (12/1), Minniemum (12/1), Innisfree Lass (28/1), Isabella Bee (50/1), Missed Vacation (250/1), Buying Money (300/1)

KATEIRA looked promising in bumpers earlier in the year and might be up to making a winning start over hurdles. Hidden Beauty didn't enjoy any luck when favourite for her C&D hurdle debut last month and may provide the main threat ahead of Ffos Las winner Ilovethenightlife.
