Recorded back-to-back wins at Bangor and Market Rasen this summer and good effort when runner-up at Sedgefield last time. Expected to be involved again.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 121

9/4

Useful handicap hurdler/chaser at one time and has rediscovered some form, scoring twice in Cartmel handicaps i the summer and easily landing a 3-runner event at Ayr earlier this month. Definite player.

Breakdance Kid^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 119

10/3

Ran away with a Hexham handicap in June and back to winning ways with another impressive display at Kelso three weeks ago. Very much on the up and looks the one to beat.

Destiny Is All^p³³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Power⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 113

11/1

:Boasts a good record when fresh and bolstered that after 6 months off when landing 6-runner handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, good to soft) 33 days ago, rallying to lead on run-in. Respected up 3 lb returned to this significantly longer trip.

Form: 03642-1

Clonguile Way¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: A Crook| OR: 110

150/1

One-time fair chaser but ended his time with John McConnell out of sorts back in spring 2023 and laboured at Wetherby on debut for new yard a fortnight ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 52496/3

Elleon^p,t³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 105

17/2

Still not the most of fluent of jumpers but has enjoyed a fine start to the season, winning brace of handicaps at Hexham (at 3m) and in-the-frame all 5 starts since. Likely to give his running again and he's unexposed at marathon trips.

Form: 133432

Jem In Em^b,t⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 102

3/1

Consistent hurdler but stepped up on his return/chase debut run when fourth of 10 in handicap at Kelso 55 days ago, even a well-run 3¼m not getting near the bottom of him. Demands of this sort of test look sure to suit and respected with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Form: 424-384

Ilikedwayurthinkin (9/4), Jem In Em (3/1), Breakdance Kid (10/3), Jerrash (5/1), Elleon (17/2), Destiny Is All (11/1), Clonguile Way (150/1)

BREAKDANCE KID continues to improve and made a good impression when scoring in dominant fashion at Kelso three weeks ago. This markedly longer trip is an unknown but he's capable of going in again if he gets it. Ilikedwayurthinkin is a threat and Jerrash should give another good account.
