Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt| OR: 97| C

1/1

Well backed and confirmed the promise of his previous C&D run when landing 22.1f handicap here a month ago, comfortably. 6 lb rise looks lenient so follow-up claims appear to be bright.

Form: 514-541

Doyen For A Drink³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: B S Hughes| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 96

6/1

Ran up to form when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 32 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Paul Nolan and market may be revealing on British debut.

Form: 0/4028-4

Ange Endormi⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 89| CWS

4/1

Modest handicap hurdler who probably needed the run on first outing since leaving Barbara Butterworth after 19 months off when beating only one home at Hexham in April. Failed to come for that 6 weeks later so has a lot to prove.

Form: 2124/7-P

Bless The Moon²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 82

33/1

On trainer number 3 after as mnay starts, weakening out of it at Uttoxeter last month (2m). Back up markedly in trip.

Form: F54-248

Raincloud⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Pippa Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 86

33/1

Poor maiden on Flat who showed first form when second in a Carlisle maiden hurdle (17.2f) in July. Well held on the level since and same story back over timber at Market Rasen. Stamina to prove upped markedly in distance.

Form: P-426

The Knot Is Tied^p,t⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Conor Ring| T: R Potter| OR: 76

22/1

Little impact in 2 starts on the Flat for current yard and same story over obstacles.

Form: 25/P6-36

Traditude Tara^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 76

9/2

Low-key start over hurdles but allotted a lowly mark based on her Irish bumper form so she's one to consider upped markedly in distance.

Form: 207-768

Forecasts

Secret Secret (1/1), Ange Endormi (4/1), Traditude Tara (9/2), Doyen For A Drink (6/1), Reagrove Lord (13/2), The Knot Is Tied (22/1), Bless The Moon (33/1), O'Grady's Boy (33/1), Raincloud (33/1)

It's hard to get away from course-regular SECRET SECRET, who won with plenty up his sleeve at this venue a month ago. Traditude Tara will surely show more now handicapping, while Irish raider Doyen For A Drink requires a market check.
