3rd	1	—	Little Big Kev (G) Runner-up on his only start in points. Fair form when reaching the frame in bumpers but hasn't bettered modest form over hurdles, including on Uttoxeter handicap debut when last seen in May.	554/53P-	Thomas Bellamy R T Phillips	6	75.3kg	11 10/1
1st	2	—	Devon Skies (M) Pulled up first 3 starts in handicaps but different proposition switched to front-running tactics at Sedgefield this month, scoring twice around 2½m. Another 7 lb higher now going for the hat-trick b…	111P14	Joe Williamson P A Kirby	6	74.8kg	6 5/1
—	3	—	Doublethetrouble (G) Pulled Up P Has won on the Flat for John Butler since last seen over hurdles for this yard 3 years ago. Off since finishing a respectable sixth on AW at Kempton in May. Best watched unless the betting vibes are …	623356-	Tom Cannon L Wadham	7	71.7kg	26 25/1
4th	4	—	After Many Days (M) P Modest maiden but returned from a break to finish a good second at Hereford (2½m) last month and that form has been franked. Sure to go well if in a similar mood.	424222	Sam Twiston-Davies H D Daly	6	70.8kg	6.50 11/2
—	5	—	Kilnacarra (G) Pulled Up T Modest at form at best in Ireland in 2021 and no show in 2 comeback outings for new yard after a huge absence.	58P/5PP	Aaron Anderson J Bedi	8	69.9kg	301 300/1
7th	6	—	Matoury (G) T Off the mark over C&D in June. Largely remained in good form since, finishing behind a pair of in-form rivals at Wetherby (21f, good) last time. Softer ground would be an unknown.	37P-311	William Maggs M E Sowersby	6	69.4kg	6 5/1
6th	7	—	Tees Comp's Clive (G) Maiden but has run with credit when reaching the frame in handicaps on his last 4 starts, finishing best of rest behind a handicap blot at Kelso (21f) last time. The first-time cheekpieces he wore in…	534426	Danny McMenamin G Boanas	7	68.9kg	4.50 7/2
2nd	8	—	Time Was (M) A winning pointer but still a maiden under Rules, pulling up in hurdle at Cartmel when last seen in June. Devon Skies has to be considered the stable first string unless the betting strongly hints o…	434-P85	R T Dunne P A Kirby	8	67.1kg	15 14/1
5th	9	—	Little Wren (M) FAV Little show in 3 qualifying runs over 2m but in top hands and could prove a totally different proposition now handicapping up in trip. Market confidence would look significant.	00581P-	Harry Skelton D Skelton	5	65.8kg	4 3/1
