Reel Her In²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 95| C

16/1

Just poor form so far over hurdles but has been progressive on the Flat this autumn, winning a brace of course handicaps and surely has more to offer now returned to this sphere.

Form: 690-66

You Some Girl^h,t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 91| D

4/9

Finally got off the mark as a hurdler at Newcastle earlier in the month and defied a penalty with plenty in hand at Catterick (25.3f) last week. Expected to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 333211

Not In Kansas^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 90| C

28/1

Dual winner who looked rusty after 6 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Entitled to be sharper here.

Form: F8/71-19

Anamanda³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 89

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden who caught the eye a bit upped in trip when ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (19.5f, good to soft) 32 days ago, finishing with running left. Upped further in distance and remains with potential as a hurdler.

Form: P04-69

Maura Jeanne^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 88

5/1

Didn't need to improve to finally get off the mark at Kelso in October and then unsuited by drop back in trip when fourth of 12 at Sedgefield (21.2f, good) 24 days ago, finishing with running left. Return to 3m an obvious plus.

Form: 6-4F514

Time Was²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 86| D

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden under Rules who ran about as well as could be expected after 7 months off when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (21.2f, good) 24 days ago.

Form: 2/93P8-5

Reagrove Lord^t⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 82

10/1

Poor maiden who made hard work of things in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, soft) 64 days ago, going in snatches.

Form: 35-5334

Lady Hamilton^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: W Storey| OR: 76

20/1

Still a maiden but ran respectably when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft, 15/2) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 433385

Swift Reply¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: S Waugh| OR: 75

50/1

Poor maiden who was again below his best back over hurdles when sixth in 12-runner handicap at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 15 days ago.

Form: 0-072P6

Forecasts

You Some Girl (4/9), Maura Jeanne (5/1), Reagrove Lord (10/1), Reel Her In (16/1), Lady Hamilton (20/1), Time Was (22/1), Not In Kansas (28/1), Anamanda (40/1), Swift Reply (50/1)

YOU SOME GIRL hasn't always looked entirely straightforward, but is thriving at present and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Reel Her In has been progressing well on the Flat this autumn and surely has more to offer now returned to hurdling, with Maura Jeanne completing the shortlist.
