You Some Girl (M)
[HT]
Strong-travelling mare who won this race 12 months ago and arrives in form again, having proved better than ever when making a successful start to her chase career at Newcastle (3m) last month. One of 2 likely types for Rebecca Menzies.

Heather Honey (M)

Completed a hat-trick in spring/early summer and 2 defeats last month shouldn't be taken to suggest the handicapper has taken her measure as there was promise on both occasions.

Our Sam (G)
[PT]
Completed a hat-trick in the second half of 2023 but has struggled to reached the same heights since. A reduced mark reflects that but others are still more persuasive.

Monsieur Le Fuzz (G)
[P]
Much improved on his second handicap hurdle start when winning 16-runner event at Ayr (3m, heavy) in March. The first-time cheekpieces he wore on that occasion were left off when fourth on his Hexham reappearance but return now. One of 2 f…

Bollin Neil (G)
[PT]
C&D winner in February and has underlined his liking for Catterick with 3 Flat wins here since the end of the summer. Has to enter the reckoning.

Geordie Night (G)
[T]
Had wind op (also tongue tied) before getting off the mark in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23f, good to soft) in May. Could play a prominent role if resuming in similar form.

Poetry Man (G)

Course chase winner over this trip last Christmas. Yet to be asked for effort when unseating 4 out back here in February. Reverts to hurdles on first outing since.

Princesse Milania (M)
Much improved after wind op when winning 25f Plumpton handicap (heavy) for Olly Murphy in October and followed up for new trainer Mark Walford at Wetherby (21f, good) 11 days later. The runner-up at Wetherby boosted that form with a win at…
