Serious Operator^t¹⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: P W Wadge| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 125| CD

13/2

Won twice in 2023/24 campaign but made it to the track only twice last season. Off for a further 5 months ahead of reappearance and the betting should guide.

Form: 1510/06-

Here Comes Georgie^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: P Neville| OR: 123

11/4

Has a largely progressive profile, landing a fifth win in the last 12 months when holding on by a neck on 2m Perth reappearance in August. Should remain very competitive off 4 lb higher, although all his wins have come around 2m and he's yet to prove he stays this far.

Form: 11683-1

Luttrell Lad^t,v¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mrs Izzie Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 123| BF

4/1

Won at Taunton (16.5f, soft) off this mark in February and reacted well to a first-time visor (retained) when going close to another win over 21.54f at Newton Abbot 18 days ago. A 2 lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing.

Form: 174-442

Tamar Bridge³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlotte Jones| T: H McMahon| OR: 117

250/1

Won a 2½m Wetherby selling hurdle for Olly Murphy in March but well held in a Perth handicap for new yard 5 months later. Can only watched after that.

Form: PP/251-0

Rockview Consort²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: A Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 112

13/2

Runner-up on the Flat and over hurdles in Ireland in recent weeks. Anything this yard sends over commands respect.

Form: 46/4352

Starlyte^p,t⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 107| CD

14/1

Dual C&D winner last season. Also a creditable third over C&D in May. A lesser run followed at Cartmel in July but better can be expected back here.

Form: 1515-30

Divilabother²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 105

9/2

Failed to win in Ireland but struck at the first time of asking for Tristan Davidson in 2½m Hexham handicap 3 weeks ago. That was a competitive 15-runner race and he remains of interest of 6 lb higher.

Form: 02-0221

The Navigator¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 98| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle at Cartmel in August. Good third of 9 at Sedgefield (2½m, good) since but this does represent a rise in grade.

Form: 546P13

Forecasts

Here Comes Georgie (11/4), Luttrell Lad (4/1), Divilabother (9/2), The Navigator (11/2), Serious Operator (13/2), Rockview Consort (13/2), Starlyte (14/1), Tamar Bridge (250/1)

The way DIVILABOTHER scored at Hexham suggests he could have more to offer for the Tristan Davidson yard so he's selected to make light of a 6 lb rise, perhaps at the main expense of John McConnell's Rockview Consort. Luttrell Lad is next on the list.
