Verdict

HIJO DE LA LUNA's recent form looks sound and he's taken to notch a breakthrough win over hurdles. Whitewinewednesday had excuses on her first start for her all-conquering yard at Limerick in May and remains one to keep an eye on given her previous promise, while Vanilla Dancer is the type to bounce back quickly from a below-par display when last seen.

Verdict
Hasn't kicked on after a promising start in handicaps but can have her first run for Willie Mullins at Limerick in May overlooked having raced on unfavoured inside and later said to be showing signs of being in season. Tongue strap on for first time and remains one to keep an eye on.

Verdict
Not seen to best effect on most recent Flat outing and was again caught further back than ideal when third of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D (firm, 4/1) 32 days ago. Merits consideration from 1 lb lower mark.

Verdict
Veteran who resumed winning ways at Cartmel (17.2f) in July and has confirmed himself still in top form on both subsequent outings, finishing third to a couple of stablemates at Bangor (2½m) latest. 10-lb claimer back in the saddle and likely to continue to run well.

Confirmed he still has something to offer when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (2¼m, good) 13 days ago. Recent form sound and must enter the reckoning.

Verdict
Broke duck over hurdles when winning at Catterick (2m) in February and performed well in defeat next 3 outings. Produced a rare below-par effort at Kelso when last seen in May and very much the type to bounce back quickly.

Verdict
A fair and lightly-raced maiden on Flat in first half of 2024. Returned from 17 months off and displayed aptitude for hurdling when third of 9 here (16.8f) here last December but well held at Wetherby 3 weeks later and again offered little when remote third at Bangor 25 days ago. Makes handicap bow.

Verdict
Regressive maiden on the Flat who made more impact than previously over hurdles when ¾-length second in a C&D novice in August. However, struggled in his first handicap in this sphere back over C&D since, an SP of 28/1 also speaking of low expectations.

Verdict
Maiden who was possibly unsuited by the drop back in trip when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (17f, firm, 20/1) last month, though still has little in the way of form.
