Bashful Boy (G)
[T]
Fair handicap hurdler who ran well in the Cesarewitch last time and returns to this sphere on an appealing mark. Harry Cobden booked and must be respected. Tongue strap back on.

Portetta (M)
Placed on second outing in bumpers and runner-up in a Tipperary maiden on hurdling debut in May. Hasn't progressed since but may do better now sent handicapping.

Paddy Hanlon | J J Hanlon | 4 | 75.7 kg |

| 2nd | 3 | — |
Man Of The Sea (G)
[TP]
Returned to form when creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Races off same mark here and can make presence felt.

R P McLernon | N P Mulholland | 9 | 75.3 kg |

Oakley's Way (G)
FAV
[T1]
Showed ability in bumpers and over timber, shaping better than distance beaten when sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. One of likelier contenders.

Sam Twiston-Davies | A J Honeyball | 5 | 74.8 kg |

Prairie Diamond (G)
[H]
Didn't get far on return from 11 months off at Wincanton (19.8f, good) 7 days ago. Yard amongst the winners, though, and is worth monitoring in the market.

Harry Atkins | M Keighley | 6 | 73.9 kg |

Rapid Mission (G)
Went backwards from hurdling reappearance when fifth of 10 in handicap at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) 20 days ago and makes limited appeal.
|
Rex Dingle | S Hosie | 4 | 72.1 kg |

| 10th | 7 | — |
Bigz Belief (G)
[V]
Modest strike rate but has dropped to an attractive mark and made the frame in a couple of hurdles at Les Landes earlier this year. Visor reapplied on debut for new yard and is one to consider.
|
Tom Broughton | F O'Brien | 8 | 72.1 kg |

| 6th | 8 | — |
Jukebox Annie (M)
Off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt in novice at this course (16.5f) on last season's return. Hasn't built on that effort since, though, down the field on return from a break at Wincanton last week.

Mr Jack Stenhouse | Claire Hitch | 6 | 69.4 kg |

Man Oh Man (G)
Poor maiden hurdler in Ireland back in 2023 and pulled up in 4 points subsequently. Started out for new yard last month but little signs of improvement.
|
Bryan Carver | D Summersby | 6 | 67.6 kg |

| 9th | 10 | — |
Jackson's Bay (G)
Showed benefit of return effort when creditable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft) 69 days ago, albeit having run of race. Claims if building on that.
|
Ellis Collier | Evan Williams | 4 | 66.7 kg |

Prairie Queen (M)
[T]
Still looking for first success but posted another creditable effort when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, good to soft, 15/2) 16 days ago. Others preferred for win purposes, however.
|
Sean Houlihan | Mrs S Gardner | 5 | 64.4 kg |

Sawpit Sienna (M)
[BT]
Course winner early in 2024 who likely needed the run when last of 5 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good to soft, 7/2) 29 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not out of things. 1 lb out of the weights.
|
Brendan Powell | S Drinkwater | 10 | 64.4 kg |

Poet's Reflection (M)
Just the 1 win from 30 career starts and is easy to oppose after a poor effort at Exeter 20 days ago. 6 lb out of the weights.
|
James Best | Miss L Blackford | 10 | 64.4 kg |
67
66/1
|
| — | 14 | — |
She's A Woman (M)
[H]
Offered little in bumpers or over hurdles, including on Leicester handicap debut latest. Can only be watched from 12 lb out of the weights.
|
Miss Megan Bevan | Ella Pickard | 5 | 64.4 kg |

Gigilou (G)
Hasn't shown much in a bumper/3 hurdles this season and goes handicapping from a long way out of the weights here.
