Girl Of Gold (M)
Best effort when chasing home subsequent winner La Zoubida in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft), pulling clear of rest. Unable to better that form switched to handicaps when third at Leicester (20.5f, soft) 3 weeks ago but may im…

Pooroldmackley (G)
Better than ever when recording third career success in an 11-runner Worcester handicap hurdle (23f, good) at the end of August. Found things too competitive over fences next time but no surprise to see him closer to form back over hurdles…

Isabel De Clare (M)

[PT]
Still a maiden but has shown promise since joining current yard, placing in back-to-back handicaps at Ludlow (21.3f), despite taking a strong hold latest. Should go well if she can settle back over a longer trip.

Doublethetrouble (G)
[B]
Fair handicapper for John Butler on Flat but hadn't raced over hurdles for nearly 3 years prior to pulling up at Market Rasen last month (first start since rejoining Lucy Wadham). Remains with something to prove.

Lady Harriett (M)
[B1]
Opened hurdles account at Ffos Las (2½m, good to soft) last November but inconsistent subsequently. Unable to justify support when well held third (21.9f) on comeback last month but looks worth another chance stepping back up in distance s…

Annie Nail (M)
Won a small-field handicap over fences at this track in May but she's out of sorts since. Best to look elsewhere.
