Jackson LambA Harvey (3) - J C McConnell28-431	4/6	2/9
Bumper winner who got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Bellewstown (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, despite some indifferent jumping, posted an RPR of 127 in the process anad that sets the standard here, stable won this last year, softening ground might not be ideal (withdrawn from a yielding to soft engagement).
Magic GlovesD R Fox - L Russell & M ScudamoreP21-	3/1	10/17
Bought for £42,000 soon after winning a good-ground 3m Irish point in April, has joined a respected yard for rules action, best to let the betting guide.
JentobelloB S Hughes - I JardineR-1132	10/3	8/13
Dual bumper winner on good ground and encountered the same conditions for his two placed efforts over hurdles (2m/2m4f), RPRs leave with a fair bit to find with Jackson Lamb, though the addition of cheekpieces could help his jumping which hasn't been foot perfect, he was taken out of a soft-ground engagement.
Avalon BeachDanny McMenamin - C Grant0/	50/1	14/1
Trained by Mark Walford when tailed off in a soft-ground Wetherby bumper and that was in March 2024, would need to see some confidence behind him.
Top Of The StarsHarry Reed - S WaughFirst Race	50/1	14/1
Sixth foal, dam well held 1m-2m, half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Sir Parky, this is a very belated debut at the age of seven.

Luttrell LadMrs Izzie Hill (7) - T Lacey74-442	3/1	8/11
Resumed winning ways at Taunton (2m) in February and in good form since, visored when runner-up in 2m5f handicap at Newton Abbot 18 days ago, he must enter calculations despite a 2lb weights rise with the headgear again sported.
Rockview ConsortA Harvey (3) - J C McConnell6/4352	3/1	8/11
Irish challenger is on a long losing run but she posted a good second of nine in 2m5f Downpatrick handicap hurdle 23 days ago, up 4lb but very much one to consider.
Here Comes GeorgieB S Hughes - P Neville1683-1	10/3	8/11
Resumed from four months off with a career-best victory in 2m Perth handicap hurdle 32 days ago, up another 4lb but not taken lightly if his stamina holds out over this longer trip.
DivilabotherHarry Reed - T Davidson2-0221	4/1	10/11
Running well without winning in Ireland for Thomas Coyle and he made a winning start for his new handler in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Hexham three weeks ago, up 6lb but he was well on top at the finish there so is a player.
Serious OperatorP W Wadge - L Russell & M Scudamore10/06-	10/1	9/5
A dual hurdles scorer (around 2m4f) in 2023/24 but very lightly raced since and off for five months since a creditable sixth in 2m4f Perth handicap, he needs to hit the ground running.
The NavigatorCharlie Maggs (5) - Mrs Dianne Sayer546P13	11/1	19/10
Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago, this C&D scorer can't be discounted.
StarlyteAlan Doyle (5) - L Russell & M Scudamore515-30	14/1	12/5
A three-time scorer last season, including twice over C&D, but she came in only 11th in 2m6f Cartmel handicap in July, no surprise to see her bounce back here though after a break.
Tamar BridgeCharlotte Jones - H McMahon/251-0	66/1	16/1
Signed off for Olly Murphy with victory in 2m4f Wetherby handicap hurdle in March but he beat only one on his yard debut at Perth (2m4f) last month, he has something to prove now.

	Win	Place
Let's Sail AwayStan Sheppard - T Lacey991-22	15/8	4/6
Signed off over hurdles with victory at Market Rasen (2m2f) and he has shaped well switched to chasing when runner-up in 2m4f handicaps at Uttoxeter and Worcester (winner gone in since) this summer, tongue tied now and visor replaces cheekpieces, weighted to go close.
NickelforceJ M Quinlan - B I Case-23243	4/1	11/10
Bagged his first two chasing starts last autumn and he arrives in very good order, a strong-travelling third of 11 in 2m5f handicap at Cartmel last time, he's very much one to consider off a 1lb lower mark.
Cracking DestinyCraig Nichol - Ewan Whillans63-413	6/1	29/20
Gained a first victory since 2023 at Hexham (2m4f) in June and not discredited when third of 7 in similar event there three weeks ago, possibilities.
Step AboveP W Wadge - L Russell & M Scudamore3P4F2-	7/1	8/5
Off since recording a good second in 2m4f Ayr handicap chase in March but he has run well off a break so can't be discounted, visor goes back on too.
No RegretsSean Quinlan - N G Richards4F2-53	15/2	17/10
Veteran course scorer who returned to his best when third of five in 25f handicap chase at Cartmel in July, he's one for the shortlist.
Half ShotB S Hughes - I Jardine1-5330	9/1	2/1
Captured this prize a year ago and in good form until ridden aggressively when tenth in 2m5f Cartmel handicap chase 23 days ago, it would come as no surprise to see him play a major role here.
High MoonR P McLernon - R Menzies-32263	9/1	2/1
Veteran is winless since 2023 but he wasn't disgraced when third of six in 2m1f handicap chase at Cartmel 25 days ago, he's no forlorn hope.
Chapel GreenAlan Doyle (5) - L Russell & M Scudamore12745-	16/1	3/1
C&D scorer but not seen since a solid fifth of nine in 2m4f handicap here in April, he has won when fresh though so enters calculations on his return.
GlajouC O'Farrell - N P Mulholland314/4P	22/1	4/1
Scored over fences at Worcester (2m4f) in September, 2023, made an encouraging return from 22 months off when fourth at Uttoxeter in July but pulled up in 2m4f Worcester handicap chase 17 days ago, has something to prove.
Pont AvenCharlotte Jones - H McMahon/FU6P-	125/1	40/1
A very useful ex-Irish chaser at his best but he's been off the track since showing little in two starts here and at Sedgefield for his current yard in the spring, he's hard to make a case for after 159 days off.

AmbassadorJoshua Thompson (7) - Micky Hammond663331	2/1	7/10
Recorded his seventh hurdle win when making all off reduced mark at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month, back up 7lb in the weights but that was a dominant display under Joshua Thompson and he remains well treated on old form, big player.
GuillaumeTheo Gillard - D McCain Jnr-26223	9/2	6/5
Chase winner who is 0-9 over hurdles but he went close over C&D in May and has been placed at Bangor (2m) and Stratford (2m2f) in his last three starts, usually races prominently and has each-way claims again back up in trip.
Heart AboveHenry Brooke - Mrs Dianne Sayer5-2O44	5/1	13/10
Dual hurdle winner who has reached the frame in five of his last seven runs including when a rallying fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in July, this step back up in trip looks a positive and he should go well again after a short break.
Nathan WellsAlan Doyle (5) - A B Hamilton2436P4	6/1	29/20
Switched back from chasing to hurdling with a respectable fourth at Hexham (2m, good) three weeks ago but that took his record to 0-19 and he's not easy to predict, others preferred.
O'Faolains GloryConor Rabbitt (5) - S Corbett2-B744	13/2	6/4
Hard to predict and is 1-21 over hurdles but she went close at Musselburgh in March and was a front-running fourth of 15 at Hexham (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, should be fine on this drop back in trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if she made a bold bid.
Woody's BoyJamie Hamilton - M Walford7-9574	10/1	9/4
Eight-race maiden who has struggled in his four handicaps (2m-2m7f) and was well held in a Market Rasen novice last time, cheekpieces are now added and he needs improvement back up in trip.
Blended StealthSean Quinlan - Lizzie Quinlan-81625	11/1	12/5
8yo who has form at up to 3m1f, belatedly off the mark over hurdles at Hexham (2m, good) in May but he's not gone on from that and was tailed off at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) when last seen in June, hurdling record is now 1-34 and he looks opposable on return.
Green BonnetJack Power (5) - L Russell & M Scudamore2-240	14/1	3/1
Unexposed 6yo who was runner-up in a novice here (2m, good) in May but she's struggled in both runs since including on handicap debut at Perth (3m, good, 20-1) last month, now takes a big drop back in trip but she didn't jump well last time and has something to prove.
Ascension DayR P McLernon - B HaslamP-8P7P	33/1	15/2
Well treated on some runner-up efforts in handicaps last summer but he has form figures of P8P7P over fences and hurdles this year, overall record is now 0-14 and he needs a big turnaround.
Darkest DayPeter Kavanagh - W Young Jnr23-5P6	33/1	15/2
Won twice here (including over C&D) in 2023 but this year's pointing form is uninspiring and he has struggled back over fences and hurdles in last three starts, mark is tumbling but he's well into the veteran stage and has plenty to prove.
The Geordie GingeCharlotte Jones - H McMahon64247-	50/1	12/1
On much reduced mark but he's still a maiden after 13 starts over hurdles and he struggled in his final two runs last year, opposable back from 293 days off.

	Win	Place
Huit RefletsJamie Hamilton - M Walford-73482	9/4	3/4
Returned to form when runner-up in 2m4f Hexham handicap chase three weeks ago, he needs to back it up now returned to this sphere.
MilajessJoshua Thompson (7) - Micky Hammond12-233	4/1	11/10
Gained a breakthrough success at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and has continued in very good form, third of 12 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July, cheekpieces replace blinkers here and she's a likely player after a break.
She's NotjoekingConner McCann (7) - L Russell & M Scudamore9234P-	11/2	11/8
Got off the mark over hurdles at Hexham (2m) last April but she's been off since pulled up over C&D in Apri, handily weighted though if back on her A-game here.
Game BeaaaDanny McMenamin - D Bourke59-119	11/2	11/8
Bagged a pair of 2m handicaps at Market Rasen in June and not disgraced after two months off when ninth over 2m3f there last time, very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark.
Balally ParkC O'Farrell - R Menzies4-9626	13/2	6/4
Still to get his head in front and he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth in 2m1f Cartmel handicap hurdle 25 days ago, others appeal more.
Clan ChieftainDylan Johnston (3) - Mrs J Stephen506-53	10/1	11/5
Maiden hurdler who comes here on the back of two poor efforts on the Flat last month, has something to prove.
Oasis PrinceB S Hughes - Annabelle Sowray5254/P	12/1	5/2
Only poor form shown on the Flat for Jacqueline Coward in 2024 and he offered little for his new yard back hurdling after 11 months off at Hexham (2m4f) three weeks ago, he's hard to make a case for.
Mr GlobalistSean Quinlan - Lizzie Quinlan2-P556	12/1	5/2
Is 0-21 and he turned in a below-par sixth of nine in 2m Bangor handicap hurdle 12 days ago, others are preferred.
State Of HonorCharlotte Jones - H McMahon82129-	28/1	11/2
Opened her account at Fontwell (2m5f) last September but came in last of nine at Hereford (2m4f) 11 months ago on her final run for Tim Vaughan, since changed hands for £1,000 and she needs to hit the ground running for her new stable.
IvynatorPeter Kavanagh - Mrs J C McGregorP7-20P	50/1	12/1
A good runner-up at Perth (2m4f) in May but he's shown little in three runs since, pulled up back there (2m4f) nine days ago, it's easy to look elsewhere.

PrimozD R Fox - L Russell & M ScudamoreF3107-	5/2	5/4
Beat Pay The Piper on his chase debut and comeback run last October, and four runs later won a match over C&D (soft), lost his race at the start when only 6-1 for the Grand Annual and has undergone wind surgery since again performing below market expectations at Aintree in April, retains pleny of potential as a chaser.
Pay The PiperDanny McMenamin - Mrs A Hamilton23232-	4/1	17/10
Won this 12 months ago on his reappearance when 4lb lower and then finished a 2l second to Primoz at Wetherby, the form of which he could reverse on these more favourable terms, consistent gelding who should have every chance.
Dog FoxHenry Brooke - O Greenall & J Guerriero545-21	4/1	17/10
Two-time Flat winner who has been in good form over hurdles this summer, winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two months ago, this 5yo is a major player if taking to fences at the first attempt.
Garde Des ChampsAlan Doyle (5) - L Russell & M Scudamore384123	11/2	2/1
Appeared to have the race in the bag at Perth last month only to idle late on and get nabbed close home (2m4f, good), ridden more patienly back there last week and couldn't pick up (beaten about 6l), however, with Alan Doyle claiming 5lb he's essentially off the same mark as when a close third to Pay The Piper in this last year and a visor replaces cheekpieces (worn last three races).
MalysticB S Hughes - P D NivenF66-43	6/1	21/10
An 11yo now who isn't as good as he was and has predictably lost some of his old speed, hasn't been running badly in handicaps at about this trip but looks vulnerable.
Fringill DikeCharlie Maggs (5) - Jedd O'Keeffe0-2565	7/1	23/10
Inconsistent since returning from a layoff earlier this year and beaten 50l and 18l in his last two races, others preferred.
Arthur's QuayR P McLernon - B Haslam61-255	18/1	7/1
Multiple winner from 2m1f to 2m5f, he is getting long in the tooth now and last time was well held at Cartmel where he usually goes well.

GijimaMr Gregor Walkingshaw (10) - L Russell & M Scudamore3	6/4	4/17
Weak in the betting when chasing home two Irish raiders at Perth (good) and wasn't beaten far, did race keenly under today's 10lb claimer but she should be wiser this time.
NobotheratallHarry Reed - T DavidsonU-3	9/4	1/3
Prominent throughout when third of 14 on good ground at Wexford in July, was beaten about 8l in the end but should have a future for new yard.
Dotties PromiseNathan Moscrop - S Corbett3	11/4	2/5
Out of a bumper winner and was close up at Hexham (good to soft) despite racing freely, considered.
Monte A BordTom Midgley (3) - M & D EasterbyFirst Race	15/2	21/20
Flat bred and cost 45,000gns as a yearling, closely related to 1m2f/1m4f winner Ensured (RPR 98), stable 1-21 in bumpers the last five seasons.
Blue IndigoCraig Nichol - Gary Rutherford5S-	28/1	15/4
Beaten 17l in a point bumper but was in second when slipping up after the last fence in a 3m soft-ground point at Friars Haugh in February, clearly has some ability.
La Grande KeelyDylan Johnston (3) - Mrs J StephenFirst Race	33/1	19/4
£1,000 3yo, ninth foal, half-sister to Rapid Response (useful 2m5f/3m1f chase winner), Malindi Bay (point/bumper) and Lock Down Luke (bumper and 2m/2m6f hurdle), dam 12.5f Flat/2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner, yard 0-9 in bumpers recent seasons.
NufinbutdatruthPeter Kavanagh - Mrs J C McGregorFirst Race	50/1	17/2
Fifth foal, dam unraced half-sister to smart 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Mr Thriller and useful winners Gaspara (2m-2m3f hurdle) and Larry (2m3f-3m hurdle/chase), a positive pedigree but a rare bumper runner for the stable.
StrathcatchaBruce Lynn - Gary Rutherford7	100/1	20/1
80-1 when tailed off on good ground at Hexham three weeks ago, no real appeal.
