Selected odds by:

Ede'iffs Rock¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 97

4/1

Run creditably both starts this term. latest when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft, 5/1) 19 days ago. 3 lb higher now but not taken lightly.

Form: 39-2223

Cast's Tasha^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 97

6/4

Back from break when good third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, soft) 39 days ago, travelling best. Remains fairly treated and is one for shortlist.

Form: 36621-3

My Lady Phoenix²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Bryan Carver| T: J Scott| OR: 93

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden who posted best effort over timber when second of 7 in novice (18/1) at Chepstow (16f, soft) 25 days ago. Upped in trip for handicap debut and may have more to give yet.

Form: 5083-2

Mairis Icon²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: James Best| T: J W Mullins| OR: 93

20/1

Has been brought along steadily over hurdles and arrives on back of a solid return in novice over a shorter trip here last month. Must enter calculations on handicap debut.

Form: 085-334

Miss Fedora³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 91

16/1

Belatedly off the mark when taking 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f, soft) 30 days ago. This looks tougher but she warrants respect.

Form: P-33271

Delgany Dreamer^h1⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 86

9/1

Showed ability last term but proved something of a let-down on return/handicap debut at Chepstow (16f, soft) 49 days ago. Hood now tried for first time.

Form: 5554-0

Gardons La^h³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 84WS

80/1

Just a modicum of promise in 2 starts in France and has showed little for current connections. Had wind operation.

Form: 68-7P7

Sallyann²⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 84

33/1

Dispayed ability in bumpers/maiden hurdles but failed to complete in handicaps on last three outings. Needs to get back on track after a 9-month absence.

Form: 84/6FPP-

Poet's Reflection²¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 81| BF

18/1

Just 1 win from 21 NH runs and not seen since pulled up in handicap chase at Stratford in May. Likely best watched back hurdling.

Form: 04/623-P

I'm On My Way¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: H Cobden| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 79

14/1

Well held in a trio of maiden/novice hurdles and remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement.

Form: S3P0/07

Damask²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 77

10/1

Poor form over hurdles, well held again in Leicester handicap last month. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 5U56-54

Forecasts

Cast's Tasha (6/4), Ede'iffs Rock (4/1), My Lady Phoenix (13/2), Delgany Dreamer (9/1), Damask (10/1), I'm On My Way (14/1), Miss Fedora (16/1), Poet's Reflection (18/1), Mairis Icon (20/1), Sallyann (33/1), Gardons La (80/1)

This can go to CAST'S TASHA, who went like the best horse at the weights on her return at Exeter last month. She ought to be spot on now. My Lady Phoenix and Ede'iffs Rock should also go well.
