Settings
Selected odds by:
Fair handicap hurdler who was in contention when slipping up at Worcester 15 months ago. Not seen since but should make a chaser (Irish point winner).
|
Lightly-raced maiden for Colm Murphy. Shaped as if needing run after 16 months off at Fontwell on yard debut last month. Enough to prove sent chasing in first-time headgear.
|
Runner-up all 3 starts in bumpers but only modest form since switched to hurdles, running poorly when last seen at Fontwell in May. Makes chase debut.
|
Modest in bumpers for Thomas Gallagher and has looked difficult over hurdles for this yard. Makes chase debut.
|
Modest winning hurdler. Not seen since taking a heavy fall at Fakenham almost a year ago. Best watched on chase bow.
|
A three-time winner for Margaret Mullins in Ireland. Well below that level for this yard but at least made much more of an impact off reduced mark when third at Worcester in June.
|
Runner-up both outings in Irish points. Just modest form for Mitchell Hunt over hurdles last season. Makes chase/yard debut.
|
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles but he ended last season with a below-par fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, good) in April. Runner-up in an Irish point so can't be discounted now going chasing after breathing surgery.
|
Point winner who bettered hurdles form at the first attempt over fences in handicap at Stratford last month despite making some mistakes. Capable of better still in this sphere providing she jumps better.
|
Remains a maiden but she's returned from a lengthy absence with good placed efforts at Stratford/Newton Abbot over hurdles this summer. Shade below that level at Perth 36 days ago but her yard continue in fine form and respected now tackling larger obstacles.
|
Lightly raced 6-y-o who improved on hurdles form when making winning chase debut at Huntingdon (16.5f) in March. Runner-up on 2 of his 4 starts thereafter, shaping as if the run was needed starting out for this yard at Southwell last month. Remains of interest.
|
Irish point winner who capitalised on his falling mark over hurdles at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) in May. Showed more than on first 2 starts in this sphere when third of 13 at Southwell last month but reverted to his weak-finishing ways at Stratford since.

Forecasts
Pep Talking (9/4), Bridget Mary (4/1), Paddy In The Caddy (5/1), Dreamsundermyfeet (9/1), Call Blue (9/1), Minella Miracle (14/1), Eric Carmen (16/1), Boleyn Boy (20/1), Outside Adesa (25/1), Blue Ridge Hill (25/1), Cluain Aodha (28/1), Song Of Earth (28/1), Kelce (40/1)
PEP TALKING failed to meet expectations after 4 months off at Southwell but she's worth another chance with that run under her belt. Bridget Mary made a winning chase bow at Stratford despite making mistakes so is entitled to progress, while Paddy In The Caddy makes most appeal of the chasing newcomers.
