STATE OF HONOR outran her odds to fill the runner-up spot at Uttoxeter in June and the seven-year-old is only 2lb higher for that effort. Tim Vaughan's mare may only need to reproduce that level of form in order to go one better. Northern Reel has failed to fire in her three outings over the smaller obstacles this year, but she makes her first start for the Olly Murphy yard and could prove a different proposition on her handicap debut. If I Say compeltes the shortlist.

HAPPY INDEX has been the subject of a very interesting trainer change and gets the vote, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. State of Honor will be a danger if repeating the form she showed when second at Uttoxeter in June, while Northern Reel is another who could fare better having switched to Olly Murphy.

Olly Murphy's new recruit HAPPY INDEX ought to be suited by today's move back up in trip and is taken to exploit a favourable mark.

BATWOMEN made a highly encouraging start when second on her hurdles debut over C&D in December and it would be no surprise to see her take a big step forward from that effort. With any progression, she could be one to beat. Strictly Tango is an interesting contender after shaping with plenty of promise when third at Downpatrick in July and has to be considered on his first start for the Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole stable. Almuhit is the pick of the remainder.

BATWOMEN produced a promising first effort in this sphere when runner-up in a mares' novice here 9 months ago. Her fitness has to be taken on trust but she's open to improvement in any case and could be the way to go. Almuhit, Strictly Tango and Prince Imperial all start out for new stables and can also get involved.

She has fitness to prove but BATWOMEN travelled strongly for a long way and ran a big race in defeat over C&D on her hurdling debut.

INVICTUS ALLEN justified favouritism to score by just under two lengths at Uttoxeter in July and is only 5lb higher for that triumph. Christian Williams' six-year-old looks to have lots in his favour and can record a double. Testflight was fourth in this grade at Newton Abbot last time, but he could get closer off a 1lb lower rating. Of the remainder, Guivinec makes the most appeal.

EURKASH failed to meet expectations starting out for this yard at Newton Abbot but he's worth another chance back over fences with headgear re-fitted. Invictus Allen responded well to different tactics when making all at Uttoxeter and is next best ahead of Guivinec, who is fitted with first-time headgear.

The pick is INVICTUS ALLEN (nap), who displayed a willing attitude to prevail on soft at Uttoxeter in July and still has potential.

Having scored in facile fashion over 2m1f at Newton Abbot last month, this represents a good opportunity for SERGEANT to continue his upwards trajectory. Anthony Charlton's charge will have to defy an 8lb rise for that near eight-length success, but that doesn't appear to be out of his reach. The Height Of Fame was a clear second when only beaten a neck over 2m4f at Worcester last time and she looks likely to offer another bold bid, while the consistent Finest View has been knocking on the door off this mark and she can also threaten.

SERGEANT looked better than ever when regaining the winning thread at Newton Abbot 17 days ago, showing an impressive finishing burst to settle matters quickly. He's fancied to defy an 8 lb rise in his present groove. Finest View and The Height of Fame head up the dangers in an interesting small-field contest.

With the forecast rain a worry for most of these, it might be worth chancing long-absent 9yo STREAM OF STARS.

This return to the larger obstacles appears likely to bring the best out of MIDNIGHT JEWEL, who won off a 1lb higher mark over an extended 2m4f at Bangor in June 2023. A repeat of that effort would mean that Charlie Longsdon's eight-year-old is feasibly treated. Rajjamataz is feared most off the same mark as his second over 2m4f at Uttoxeter in June, while Fakir is also one for the shortlist.

MIDNIGHT JEWEL stepped up on reappearance run when third at Worcester and he's potentially on a good mark back over fences. Rajjamataz has found some improvement of late so is the obvious threat.

Midnight Jewel and Rajjamataz have something to prove if it's soft, whereas FAKIR should be fine in the mud.

BORNA GEM went well for a long way when sixth on her first start under Rules at Hexham in May and with significant improvement likely, she makes most appeal. Put A Lid On It looks the biggest danger, having shown some ability on her first taste of racecourse action when seventh over 2m at Worcester, while Reina Blanca is a debutant to note.

BORNA GEM showed promise on her Hexham debut and is preferred to Put A Lid On It, although Donald McCain newcomer Reina Blanca would be a major threat to both if the betting speaks in her favour.

The combination of slower ground and a first-time tongue-tie may enable Irish point winner BORNA GEM to improve upon her Hexham sixth.
