Inferno Sacree (G)
Winless since bagging back-to-back handicaps during spring 2023, but he has been placed on a number of occasions in the interim. Beaten a fair way when third on return at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) last week, but entitled to come on for that…

Low Expectations (G)
FAV
Has looked an improved model this season, winning handicaps at Fontwell (17.7f) and Windsor (2½m) with minimum fuss. Carries a 7 lb penalty for latter success and, with this drop back in trip unlikely to pose a problem, he should complete …

Thankyouandplease (G)
Promising third on handicap debut at Newton Abbot during the spring, but has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts and he's probably worth taking on.

Hill Station (G)
[T]
Four-time winner on the Flat (all AW) and finally off the mark over hurdles at Stratford in September. Runner-up both subsequent starts, including over this C&D a fortnight ago, but now 11 lb higher than when scoring at Stratford.

Castle Quarter (G)
[PH]
Opened hurdles account in handicap at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) on second run following a lengthy absence in May. However, wasn't able to back that up when beaten 33½ lengths into fourth in Fontwell race won by Low Expectations last time.

Gregorians Star (G)
[HT]
Debut bumper winner and, though yet to score on the Flat/hurdles, he took a small step back in the right direction in a first-time hood (tongue tie also reapplied) when fourth in an 8-runner C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. 2 lb lower now and he'…

Voix De Bocelli (G)
[P]
Fair winner on the Flat, but 0-15 over jumps and was again below his best when fourth at Wincanton recently. Others make more appeal.

No More Bolero (G)
[V]
Back to form when opening hurdles account at the ninth attempt with a dominant display at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) last week. Harry Cobden again in the hot-seat and this 6-y-o and another bold show is very much on the cards.
