Selected odds by:

The Navigator¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Conor Rabbitt| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 97| CD

11/4

Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft, 9/1) 19 days ago, inadequate test. Comfortable C&D winner on latest hurdling outing and is fancied to get back to winning ways returned to this sphere.

Form: 53R60-1

For Three^t³³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Joe Williamson| T: S England| OR: 91| D

17/2

Ended long losing run at Sedgefield (16.8f) in May and was back on track when third over C&D to The Navigator last time. Might have a job on turning the form around with that rival, though.

Form: 4-12F83

Huit Reflets^v³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Midgley| T: M Walford| OR: 87

11/2

Good start for this yard since coming from Ireland, placing 4 times prior to getting off the mark in 2m Hexham handicap in June. Another likeable performance when runner-up at Uttoxeter last time and enters calculations once more.

Form: 3-32212

Aviewofthestars⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Luke Scott| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 87

10/1

Two from 2 upon joining Fergal O'Brien during the autumn and took a step firmly back in the right direction on third run for this yard at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) in May. Wasn't in same form at Worcester latest but can't be ruled out.

Form: 115-436

Footloose Man^t⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 80

17/2

Yet to match his bumper form since sent hurdling, only seventh at Stratford on return. Still early days, so not one to completely write off in this sphere.

Form: 45448-7

Sky Power^t⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Price| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 78

5/1

Useful at best on Flat (stays 1½m) but not at that level lately and hasn't shown much as a hurdler.

Form: 870-

Treasured Company⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 77| D

6/1

Dual winner in 2021 but lightly raced and largely disappointing since. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 03-9408

Don't Look Back^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: William Maggs| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 72

12/1

A fair performer on the Flat for Lucinda Russell last year but no better than poor form over hurdles for this yard. Could do better now handicapping from a lowly mark.

Form: 37-5608

Coeur Aimant⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 67

18/1

Didn't take to chasing following a promising return over hurdles last summer and ran some way below pick of his form in this sphere the last twice. Has plenty to prove.

Form: 4P5P8-0

Forecasts

The Navigator (11/4), Sky Power (5/1), Huit Reflets (11/2), Treasured Company (6/1), For Three (17/2), Footloose Man (17/2), Aviewofthestars (10/1), Don't Look Back (12/1), Coeur Aimant (18/1)

THE NAVIGATOR capitalised on a much-reduced mark with plenty in hand over C&D on his latest hurdling outing and he's subsequently showed his wellbeing on the Flat, so he's preferred to Huit Reflets, who has been in good order for a while. For Three, who was third to the selection last time, is another one to consider.
