Ooh Betty (M)
[T]
Bagged 2m handicaps at Sandown and Kempton last season and largely in good nick after. Underwent a second wind op ahead of a low-key reappearance at Ascot, but that was in a significantly stronger race than this and she needs a second look…

Secret Trix (G)
[T]
Fairly useful hurdler and achieved a similar level of form over fences in recent months. Probably would've benefited from a stronger gallop back in this sphere at Market Rasen (23f, good to soft) recently, which he should get here but, on …

Anyharminasking (G)
[P]
Resumed winning ways off this mark at Newcastle during the spring. By no means disgraced when beaten in a match on third run over fences back from a break in a Warwick handicap and he's appealing returned to this sphere with conditions in …

Sixty Plus (G)
[V]
Improved with a visor fitted during the summer, bagging 4 handicaps on the bounce at up to 2½m. However, his mark inevitably suffered as a consequence of that winning spree and didn't help himself with some sloppy jumping when well held ba…

Just A Rose (M)
Point winner who looked a useful recruit to hurdling when scoring over C&D in January. Found the Dawn Run at the Cheltenham Festival a shock to the system next time, but since undergone a wind op and retains potential for her top yard now …

American Sniper (G)

Back on track making all in small-field 3m Newbury handicap last November. Ended last season with a creditable effort at Punchestown, but otherwise below par since that Newbury success and he was comfortably held off this mark at Plumpton …

Doctor Glide (G)
Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland, but ended time with Tom Dreaper out of sorts and debut for this yard at Fontwell last month was anything but encouraging.

Celtic Art (G)
[B]
It's been a struggle since his Warwick success in February, but the handicapper has shown mercy (now 2 lb below that winning mark) and the fact that his stable has been in fine form of late also augurs well. Needs considering.

Melton Mossy (G)

[T]
Looked better than ever when notching fifth success in this sphere over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago. Did the job well that day, but 7 lb rise leaves him looking vulnerable in this stronger race.

High Fibre (G)
[TP]
Opened hurdles account at Worcester in May and it was a high-quality Ascot handicap in which he was sixth last month. Failed to reproduce that form at Windsor (2m, good to soft) since, but moving back up in trip here looks a good move and …

Call Me Legend (G)
Won a weak bumper on Rules debut at Newton Abbot prior to shaping well on his first 2 starts in this sphere. Progress wasn't forthcoming on handicap debut at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) last month, though, and he remains on a tough-looking mark…
