Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 92

6/1

Fetched £100,000 after winning sole start in points and posted best effort from 3 starts over hurdles when fourth of 11 on return at Warwick. Fast-tracked over fences but failed to fire both starts this autumn. Headgear/tongue strap applied.

Form: 1/5-5494

Bebside Banter³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: C Grant| OR: 86| D

11/8

Enhanced good chase record when making a winning return at Sedgefield and creditable third there 5 weeks ago (solid form). Good chance of resuming winning ways.

Form: P122-13

Cudgel^b,t²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Walton| OR: 82

14/1

All 6 career wins have been registered at Hexham but always behind there on return. Entitled to come on for that, however, and has ran well at this track, so no forlorn hope.

Form: 222-638

Beat The Edge⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 80

1/1

Only the one win from 28 starts but positive start for this yard when runner-up at Sedgefield and this C&D. May have to play second fiddle once again.

Form: 43-4822

Forecasts

Beat The Edge (1/1), Bebside Banter (11/8), Just Gino (6/1), Cudgel (14/1)

BEBSIDE BANTER has made a positive start to this campaign and this looks a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways. Beat The Edge can fill the runner-up spot again.
