Abbey Fine Wines Handicap Hurdle (Div I)

Dual hurdle winner who has reached the frame in five of his last seven runs including when a rallying fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in July; this step back up in trip looks a positive and he should go well again after a short break.

Hard to predict and is 1-21 over hurdles but she went close at Musselburgh in March and was a front-running fourth of 15 at Hexham (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; should be fine on this drop back in trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if she made a bold bid.

Recorded his seventh hurdle win when making all off reduced mark at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month; back up 7lb but that was a dominant display under Joshua Thompson and he remains well treated on old form; big player.

Switched back from chasing to hurdling with a respectable fourth at Hexham (2m, good) three weeks ago but that took his record to 0-19 and he's not easy to predict; others preferred.

Unexposed 6yo who was runner-up in a novice here (2m, good) in May but she's struggled in both runs since including on handicap debut at Perth (3m, good; 20-1) last month; now takes a big drop back in trip but she didn't jump well last time and has something to prove.
