Cracking Rhapsody¹⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 129| CD

15/2

Enjoyed a fine novice campaign, winning 3 times, including a C&D event and a cracking renewal of the Morebattle handicap at Kelso. Splendid run when third in the Scottish Champion Hurdle handicap when last seen and looks one to follow this term.

Florida Dreams¹⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 125| D

2/1

Grade 2 bumper winner who made up into a fairly useful novice hurdler, successful at Ayr in December. Fair run in the Scottish Champion Hurdle when last seen and remains with potential.

Form: 1/31538-

Ashington¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 117| C| D

8/1

Capitalised on a falling mark at Cartmel in July, seeing off Well Educated, and back to winning ways with a game display at Kelso (21f) a fortnight ago. Still well treated on peak form after 3 lb rise.

Well Educated¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 116| CD

14/1

Plenty of winning course form and ran well behind Ashington at Kelso (21f) last time, not seen to best effect caught wide throughout. This is tougher.

Coastguard Station^p⁹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: David Noonan| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 116| D

12/1

Thriving earlier this year and produced another career-best effort to resume winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap chase in June. Lightly raced over hurdles in recent years and figures off lower mark reverted to that sphere here.

Form: 7P21-21

Salsada^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Quinlan| T: B Ellison| OR: 114

11/1

Useful Flat winner placed twice in 2m handicap hurdles in March but little to write home about since, soon beaten back on the level in 3-runner affair 3 weeks ago. Well treated if bouncing back.

Form: 330-U66

Got Grey^t⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 112| BF| D

15/8

Big improver for new yard in recent weeks, winning 2m handicaps at Stratford and Bangor and underlining just how far he's come in no time at all despite finishing second in valuable Market Rasen contest on Saturday. Good chance he's still ahead of his mark.

Form: 4-44112

Forecasts

Got Grey (15/8), Florida Dreams (2/1), Cracking Rhapsody (15/2), Ashington (8/1), Salsada (11/1), Coastguard Station (12/1), Well Educated (14/1)

The 5-y-os bookending the weights are the interesting ones, with the promising CRACKING RHAPSODY taken to start his second campaign over hurdles with a bang with victory. Dan Skelton's Got Grey ran a screamer in a valuable contest at Market Rasen on Saturday and is probably still ahead of his mark. Florida Dreams is another to consider.
