Selected odds by:

Well Planted²³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: R M Smith| OR: 119| CD

10/3

Recorded a second C&D success in August and again ran well when edged out only close home back here 23 days ago. Going through a good spell at present and he's not taken lightly.

Form: 6-43212

Inca Prince³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 114| D

10/3

Won a trio of races as a juvenile but unable to match that level last season. However, showed promise when fifth at Aintree (20f) in May, before possibly needing the run after 11 weeks off (following a wind op) last time. Lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 0653-55

Rakhine State⁵⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 110| CD

17/2

Three-time winner over hurdles for Gordon Elliott and gained first success for current yard in handicap at Worcester in summer 2021. Off the mark over fences at this course in July and he remains well treated on old form. Major player back over hurdles.

Form: 3333-61

Moneynabane¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: N McCluskey| OR: 98

9/1

Produced his best effort when fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (20.2f) in August and matched that form when third at Downpatrick (21.7f) 9 days later. Needs to find more as he drops back down in trip.

Form: 769753

Malangen⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 97| CD

9/2

Landed handicap at this course (20.1f) for the second year in succession in July, again having the benefit of an enterprising ride. Has continued in good heart since, runner-up at Hexham 5 days ago. Can give his running again.

Form: 521324

Dalileo²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 97| C| D

11/2

Sole success came here (20.2f) in 2021 and has been running well for his current yard at this course (23.9f) during the summer, clear of the rest when third on his latest outing. Significantly back down in trip.

Form: P-P4223

Just Dottie^h⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: R M Smith| OR: 96| BF| CD

9/1

Offered little in bumper/on Flat but has found her feet over hurdles for current stable, overcoming a slipping saddle when scoring over C&D in May. Sent off favourite (2/1) back here on her latest outing but ran one of her lesser races. Bounce back called for.

Form: 54-1538

John The Baptist^h,t¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 93WS

20/1

Fairly useful at best on the Flat but looks to have been brought along gradually in a trio of starts over hurdles for his current yard, making mistakes when fourth of 7 in novice at Huntingdon in April. Improvement required now handicapping (has had a wind op).

Form: 834-

Forecasts

Inca Prince (10/3), Well Planted (10/3), Malangen (9/2), Dalileo (11/2), Rakhine State (17/2), Moneynabane (9/1), Just Dottie (9/1), John The Baptist (20/1)

RAKHINE STATE gained a first success over fences at this course last time and he remains on a workable mark as he reverts to hurdling. He is taken to enhance his trainer's excellent strike rate at this course, with Well Planted feared most having been in good form at this C&D of late. Inca Prince is also interesting off his current mark.
