I know that not all like NH races but form is form and IMO the general methods employed in form reading do work for both codes

11/2
J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case| OR: 110| CD
Not straightforward but landed this race last year, before following up at Huntingdon. Bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts with creditable displays at Chepstow and Southwell when last seen in the spring and he's capable of going well back here.

J: J J Burke| T: James Owen| OR: 109| D
Multiple point winner who shaped like a stayer in 3 starts over hurdles, keeping on again for fourth in 5-runner novice at Southwell (2½m) 15 days ago. Interesting as he goes up in distance for handicap/chase debut.

J: Jack Tudor| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 108| D
Fair handicap chaser at his best, winning twice back in 2024/25. Missed 18 months following that season, finishing well held on his return at Bangor 6 weeks ago. This run should reveal more with tongue strap now added.

J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 107| D
One-time useful handicap hurdler for Paul Nicholls but little form since 2023/24, pulled up in 6 of his last 7 races including on seasonal/stable debut in handicap chase at Fontwell (19f) 13 days ago. Has enough to prove at present.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 107| CD
Better than ever when landing a 3¼m Chepstow handicap a year ago. Ended the campaign with a couple of poor runs, but no surprise to see him bounce back after 7 months off (has run well fresh in the past) with yard in fine form.

8/1
J: Jack Hogan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 105| D
Enjoyed a good spell during the spring, bagging small-field handicaps at Huntingdon in March and Wincanton in April. However, found things tougher when well held in 7-runner contest over this C&D in May and off nearly 5 months since.

Gained a first success in handicap hurdles when scoring at Newcastle (2½m) in April. Pulled up next time, but sent chasing after 4 months off he got back on track when second of 8 in handicap at this course in September. Respected up in trip.

J: Jamie Hamilton| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 96| D
Doubled his tally at Sedgefield (3¼m) in January for Ruth Jefferson. Without a win since, joining Nick Scholfield in the spring, but ran well when third of 14 over this C&D in July. Task is now to build on latest effort starting off for new yard.

SAFE DESTINATION can easily be excused his last couple of runs via ground and class, has won over c/d and suited by this sort of ground conditions.
On balance i would say he's a consistent horse when conditions are right for him but there has to be a question mark about fitness after 225 days off the track, however yard can get them ready for this time of year and he has won off a break before so maybe he can run a decent enough race.

- Slaney Opera.
- He’s 2lb below his winning mark, 8lb lighter, and his jockey Hamilton won on him.
- He’s proven on good ground, including 3rd beaten 3.5L here.
- The 7lb penalty takes him to 103, so a win keeps him inside the band.
- Against: he fell once in July, and his trainer has had no runners in 14 days.
- Camarrate.
- He’s 6lb lighter than his hurdle win, Gillard won on him, and he was 2nd on his chase debut here.
- 3 miles is new to him. That’s unknown rather than failed, and he gets the latitude a 6yo gets.
- Against: his trainer is 1 from 18 in 14 days and his jockey 0 from 10.

Fern Hill
Landed this contest last year off 6lb lower; ended last term in good nick when placed at Chepstow and Southwell; despite being in the veteran stage he should not be far away in his repeat bid.
