5/1

Successful at Cartmel in June and has made the frame on each of his 3 subsequent starts, finishing fourth of 8 in what proved to be a falsely-run race over C&D earlier this month. Down 1 lb and shouldn't be far away granted a strong pace to aim at.

15/2

Appeared to turn the corner last season, proving far more consistent than in previous campaigns, winning 3 times and runner-up 3 times from 7 appearances. Too bad to be true at Haydock when last seen in April and it's not hard to envisage this 7-y-o resuming with a very bold show.

12/1

Found just one too good for the third time over fences in 4-runner Ayr handicap (3m, heavy) in January. However, he has failed to make an impact in 3 subsequent starts and is 0-17 overall. Yard also saddles Cosmic Blizzard.

13/2

Winless following 13 attempts under Rules in Ireland, but has won 4 times between the flags since the turn of the year and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting on debut for new connections.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 102| BF

5/1

Resumed winning ways at Newcastle in March and placed next 2 starts. Disappointing both appearances for new yard since returning from a break in July, but interesting back up in trip here (good third at Musselburgh on sole previous run at around 3m) having edged down the weights.

Half Track^p,t¹⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: N W Alexander| OR: 100

20/1

Pretty consistent hurdler, but his jumping has been far from assured in 4 runs over fences to date and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Upfordebate^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: B S Hughes| T: P Neville| OR: 89| D

15/8

Came good over hurdles at Ayr in February and opened chase account at the second attempt when getting on top close home at Hexham (24.2f, good to firm) last month. 3 lb nudge no great hardship and forecast slower ground won't be an issue (Ayr hurdles win was on soft), so he's one to consider.

11/1

Scraped home when opening his account at Downpatrick (23.7f, good to firm) in July and this unreliable 10-y-o is opposable on the back of a tame effort at Kilbeggan.

Forecasts

Upfordebate (15/8), Everyday Champagne (10/3), Sean Og (5/1), Hold Onto The Line (5/1), Cosmic Blizzard (13/2), Safe Destination (15/2), Thehairyfella (11/1), Monochromix (12/1), Half Track (20/1)

Just as he did during the 2023/24 campaign, SAFE DESTINATION made a winning seasonal reappearance last season and the 7-y-o is taken to do the same again this time round. He may have most to fear from Hold Onto The Line, who hasn't fired in two starts for this yard but this step back up in trip could be just what the doctor ordered. Sean Og also enters calculations, along with multiple point winner Cosmic Blizzard and Upfordebate.
