HERJA looked set to open her account before falling two out over an extended 2m3f at Bangor in July and it would be no surprise to see Patrick Griffin's mare make amends on this occasion. Kottayam is another with strong form claims but has to bounce back from a Market Rasen spill, while Lipstick Traces and Voodoo Angel are the pick of the remainder.

Both Herja (second choice) and KOTTAYAM need to put significant spills behind them but they still look likely to fight this out.

The consistent IVANE hit the crossbar over 2m7f at Worcester last weekend and James Owen appears to have found an ideal opportunity for the seven-year-old to go one better. Luminaries has won four of his last six starts and should not be discounted, despite an underwhelming effort at Perth last time. Recent Market Rasen second Couldbeaweapon is another to consider.

Ivane and Couldbeaweapon are in form but RORY'S STORY might have a tad more scope for progression over this trip.

BROKEN ICE bounced back to form when winning narrowly over 3m at Perth last month and the Irish raider is hard to oppose in this company, despite a 5lb rise. Spitalfield has been running well in defeat this summer and is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection. The rest all have questions to answer, but Paddy De Pole should not be discounted for Paul Nicholls.

Broken Ice and Spitalfield arrive in form but HOSTILE HOTELIER shapes like he'd stay forever and can bounce back.

LIMERICK LEADER has been a highly consistent sort since resuming his career over fences this summer and dropping back in trip should prove ideal as he looks to notch up a fourth career success. That may be at the main expense of the returning Too Cool Forshrule and Dream Jet, who shapes as though he will relish going up to this distance.

Limerick Leader must go well again but TOO COOL FORSHRULE (nap) makes appeals back from a break and can go 3-4 in handicaps.

This can go the way of EXPRESS RUN, who may find improvement on the back of wind surgery, having run with plenty of credit over further at Kelso in May. Brian Hughes retaining the ride is a plus and he is narrowly preferred to recent Cartmel scorer The Navigator, who won on his last start here back in October. Annie Agnew and Mr Le Philosophe cannot be ruled out either.

Irish raider ANNIE AGNEW ran well after a break last time and she retains some upside with so little mileage on the clock.

The defection of Elusive Power paves the way for FAIRLAWN SKIPPER to kick on after he made all at Stratford in early July. Shane Fenelon's 5lb claim helps to negate most of the penalty incurred for that success and the progressive son of Schiaparelli could have too many gears for Frammy, despite his sole rival showing the benefit of a wind operation with a respectable second at Worcester.

With Fairlawn Skipper penalised for winning a slowly run race at Stratford, marginal preference is for FRAMMY.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
