Selected odds by:

Lone Star^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 105

20/1

Not proving the easiest to catch right but down in the weights and offered a bit more when mid-field at Cartmel 3 weeks ago, not ideally placed as race panned out.

Form: 4F-7476

Barrons Land^p1³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 101

11/1

Improved since handicapping, winning around 2½m at Sedgefield and Bangor in May before being collared late on having raced freely over 3m at Market Rasen,. Major claims back in trip fitted with cheekpieces.

Form: 244-114

Obsessedwithyou^h1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 100| BF

6/1

Creditable third from the front when returning from a break here (16.3f, good to soft) in April but unable to carry on the good work both starts since, latterly upped to 22f back at this venue. Hood now on.

Form: 8253-46

Addosh^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 100

15/2

Long time without a win but shaped encouragingly off a career-low mark when third of 6 at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) in May. Failed to build on that effort next 2 hurdles starts and latest effort on the level hardly brimming with promise, either.

Form: 86P-346

Moon Lady^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Godfrey| T: K Woollacott| OR: 99

22/1

Point winner who was fitted with a tongue tie when an excellent second of 11 in novice hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut and mark calls for more but she's not yet exposed.

Form: 6U2-142

Lady Gwen^t1⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 99| CD

22/1

A three-time winner last season. Off 5 months/had wind op before a fading fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle over C&D in April and jumped none too fluently when pulled up at Huntingdon. Tongue tie applied.

Form: 11325-P

Fashionelle^p1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 91

15/2

Arrives in good nick, third of 10 in novice company at Uttoxeter and better form when occupying same spot on handicap debut over C&D 19 days ago. One to consider with headgear on.

Form: 62/6-533

Getmetothemoon^t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 91| C

3/1

Justified support in 12-runner handicap hurdle here following a short break in June. Backed that up with a good third over 17f at Newton Abbot a fortnight later and was better than the result given he was short of room briefly. Major player.

Form: 5976-13

Hot Fizzy Lizzy^t1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 90

12/1

Fair bumper winner who has offered definite signs of promise over hurdles in her qualifying runs, third of 10 here 19 days ago. Tongue tie on for handicap debut and one to take seriously.

Form: 1263-43

Malina Ocarina^p1⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 84

25/1

Slipped below her last winning mark and ran creditably when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this track (22f, good) 50 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces go on back in distance.

Form: P0P-4P5

Emily Wade^h,t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 83| BF

28/1

Not at best during second half of last season but eased in weights as a result and she duly capitalised with a tongue tie added to usual hood when landing 7-runner mares' handicap at Southwell (20.4f) last month. May have been amiss at Cartmel since.

Form: 5769-18

Well Done Dani^t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 77

20/1

Worcester winner last summer but quickly into her shell since, including in cheekpieces the last twice.

Form: 3174-57

Far Away West^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 77

10/1

Can pull hard but starting to get her act together at a modest level, placed in handicaps on last 2 starts, latterly over C&D. 2 lb out of the weights.

Form: 507-832

Northern Rose^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R T Dunne| T: G Hanmer| OR: 80

9/1

4-y-o filly who responded well to a positive ride when second over 2m here last month. Brushed aside on the AW having had a breathing op and out of the weights returned to timber.

Form: F03-392

Forecasts

Getmetothemoon (3/1), Obsessedwithyou (6/1), Fashionelle (15/2), Addosh (15/2), Northern Rose (9/1), Far Away West (10/1), Barrons Land (11/1), Hot Fizzy Lizzy (12/1), Lone Star (20/1), Well Done Dani (20/1), Lady Gwen (22/1), Moon Lady (22/1), Malina Ocarina (25/1), Emily Wade (28/1)

Quite a few to consider but GETMETOTHEMOON already has a course win to her name and, having not been seen to best effect at Newton Abbot, is fancied to build on that. This trip will suit Barrons Lad so she's a threat, along with Hot Fizzy Lizzy now handicapping.
