9/2

Made a successful hurdling/stable debut at Sedgefield in November and ran creditably back on the Flat when runner-up in 12f handicap at Kempton last week. Has to be taken seriously off same mark.

Form: 33635-2

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston| OR: 77

6/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who again ran creditably when fourth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (11.1f) 35 days ago. Bit more needed for win purposes.

Form: 21/3644-

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 72| CD

9/2

C&D winner who ran respectably when fourth of 6 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 3 days ago, not much room briefly over 1f out. Should remain competitive.

Form: 68257-4

Eloso^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 72| D

16/1

Latest win at Epsom in August. Eyeshields on for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 11/1) 7 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 1504-68

Skye Breeze^p,t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 73| CD

13/8

Built on the promise of his handicap debut at the second attempt when off the mark at Wolverhampton in December and followed up in 8-runner handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, by length from Glittering Choice, driven out. Seem sure to go well in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 03/461-1

Bugle Major^p³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 70

22/1

Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. Last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 12/1) 3 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 4322-46

Glittering Choice^t,v⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: H Palmer| OR: 67

11/1

Ran well in a first-time visor when runner-up at Newcastle earlier in the month but wasn't in the same form when fourth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 5 days ago, slowly away. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 0476-24

Hildenley^t⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58| BF| C

Latest win here in September. 7/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 6 days ago, folding. Back up in trip.

Form: 136-366

Forecasts

Skye Breeze (13/8), Legendary Day (9/2), Percy Willis (9/2), Suffrajet (6/1), Glittering Choice (11/1), Eloso (16/1), Hildenley (18/1), Bugle Major (22/1)

LEGENDARY DAY, a winner over hurdles this winter, ran well back on the level when runner-up at Kempton last week and is selected to go one better off the same mark now. Hat-trick seeker Skye Breeze warrants plenty of respect, while Percy Willis is another to consider having fallen to a workable mark.
