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.
Prediction : 1st State Of Honor 2nd Northern Reel 3rd If I Say

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.
Prediction : 1st Batwomen 2nd Strictly Tango 3rd Almuhit

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.
Prediction : 1st Invictus Allen 2nd Testflight 3rd Guivinec

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.
Prediction : 1st Sergeant 2nd The Height Of Fame 3rd Finest View

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.
Prediction : 1st Midnight Jewel 2nd Rajjamataz 3rd Fakir

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.
Prediction : 1st Borna Gem 2nd Put A Lid On It 3rd Reina Blanca
