October's Uttoxeter effort (2m, good) following wind surgery was no improvement on what had gone before; no chances taken on her initial mark and she also has effectiveness to prove outside mares-only company.

Getarose
13l second to Montemares (who looked a useful prospect winning next time) at Hereford last month, with that improved form owing more to experience than the step up to 2m4f; more needed again granted a tough opening mark.

Last week's effort at Plumpton (2m, soft) on second start for current yard was as good as anything he'd done previously; he went to another level, though, when scoring comfortably in a conditional jockeys' event at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) yesterday and has a good chance off the same mark if he's in the same form just one day later.

St Lukes Chelsea
Just over 1l behind Freddie Fleetfoot at Wincanton latest, albeit short of room at a vital stage; that still represented his most affirmative statement this term and a further 1lb off is not unwelcome; chance.

Gms Prince
Finally cashed in a career-low mark at Market Rasen in September (2m3f, good); consolidated that effort last month, but put back up another 3lb for not winning and he's essentially vulnerable to improvers.

Rukaana
Kept ticking over nicely on the Flat latterly and returns 2lb lower than when last seen over hurdles; weighted to uphold May's Market Rasen superiority over Gms Prince and no surprise if he's thereabouts.

Fair third of eight on last month's Plumpton handicap hurdle debut (2m, good) on just his third start in this sphere; respected.

Gently regressive RPRs across three Fontwell juvenile hurdles (2m2f, good to soft), beaten over 15l in each; should find low-grade handicaps like this a more comfortable proposition, even though opening mark seems to ask a question.

Well held when twice making the frame on the Flat this autumn; running a big race prior to unseating here in February, albeit granted a more suitable trip and ground mix (2m3f, heavy) than awaits here.

Returns to the C&D of his best hurdles run and his mark is now more realistic; still risky following non-completions on last three starts.

Offiah's Boy
Had a profitable summer granted fast-ground 1m2f-1m3f Flat assignments, winning four; basic refusal to settle seemed more the issue latest than any lasting effects of the previous outing's heavy fall.

No form at all since April's near-miss in a point for the Summersbys (2m4f); down 5lb but reaction to wind surgery likely more significant.

All five 1m2f Class 6 Flat wins (two this summer) gained on fast ground; 0-13 over hurdles but a C&D record on good or quicker of 3424 offers hope of a place, barring appreciable rain.

Freddie Fleetfoot
Had St Lukes Chelsea and Offiah's Boy behind when fourth at Wincanton latest (1m7f, good); twice second here (once C&D) in 2023-24, form which might secure him a place.
