Both Lightning Flash and JET PATROL are able to compete from an unchanged mark having each struck over hurdles on their latest outing. Dropped in trip ahead of his chasing debut the former merits respect, but the latter can come out on top. James Owen's charge won comfortably over today's trip at Plumpton on only his third start for the yard and reverts to fences with solid claims. Getaway Jewel heads the remainder.
LIGHTNING FLASH kickstarted the season with a nice victory at Perth just 7 days ago; due to going up 6 lbs in the weights, he escapes that raise in this contest but will have to carry a penalty. Toby McCain-Mitchell takes off a very valuable 7 lbs here in this for his apprentice allowance, and it seems as if connections have found another good opportunity for their runner to win, making it back-to-back victories for the very first time in his career. Jet Patrol also comes into this off the back of a victory last time out, a 2 and a quarter length win at Plumpton a few weeks back. Now 7 lbs higher after that effort, he is in cracking form for his new yard and is sure to go very close in this contest. And Getaway Jewel was a winner off a low mark at Fakenham back in June; since then he has placed on a few occasions and can run well here off a pretty low weight.
Pulled up in a handicap chase at Perth last time; returning from a break; prone to the occasional poor run.
Winner of three hurdle races, a NH flat race and three chases from 2m 1f to 3m on ground varying from good to soft. Pulled up 4 out when 11-8fav at Perth over 3m (good) in a chase won by Whistleinthedark in May on his latest outing.

Shantou Lucky only joined James Owen's team last month, but it didn't take him long to notch up a four-timer. The eight-year-old was hit with a 10lb rise having won in emphatic fashion at Newton Abbot latest and although another bold bid looks assured, FINN LOUGH gets the nod. The son of Milan hit the woodwork in a competitive handicap at Aintree when last seen in May so is expected to go very close from an unchanged mark. Tiger Orchid could also have a say.
Although now 34 lbs higher than his first winning mark back in early September, SHANTOU LUCKY has found a new lease of life for new connections at James Owen's yard, winning all 4 of his starts for the new stable. Something has clearly changed for this lad, as he is in sparkling form at present. Now 20 lbs higher in the weights since his last victory and taking a slight step up in class, he did win at a canter last time out, and it very much looked like the winning form won't stop anytime soon. Nathan Howie seems to be getting on very well with him, and the pair can win once again and make it 5 wins in a row. Pike Road presents as the biggest danger to the in-form James Owen horse; lightly raced and only won once, he was travelling well when falling last time out on seasonal reappearance. That run under his belt will set him right, and he is sure to go well here, but a place finish might be on the cards. And Do No Wrong was a winner at Cartmel in August, pulling up last time in a better class of race; the way the race was run did not suit, and now stepping down in class slightly, he can be more competitive here in this.
Returned to form when dropped in trip and given a positive ride after a wind operation, landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off 88 at Perth last time. This is his second run since the wind op; effective at 2 1/2-3m and still well treated on old form.
Successful in two chases at 2m 4f and 3m on good and soft ground. A winner at 12-1 in a chase at Perth over 2m 4f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Pescatorius by 2 1/2l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

A wind operation appears to have worked the oracle for HEAVEN SMART. He recorded a cosy success at Perth last week and while Brian Hughes keeps the winning partnership intact, a 7lb penalty might not stop him from going in again. Cawthorne Cracker was beaten a neck at Uttoxeter last time and steps up in trip with a chance, while Atreides, who returned to form at Fontwell last month, should be on the premises too.
HEAVEN SMART arrives into this race off the back of a decent winning performance at Perth just a week or so ago, in what was his first run since the wind operation. That op clearly worked wonders, as he made all and soon pulled clear in the closing stages of the last race, winning in pretty impressive fashion given it was his first run in a couple of months as well. Up just 5 lbs for that winning effort last time, he can make it back-to-back victories here with the wind op clearly working wonders for him. Atreides is yet to win in 18 career runs but put in one of his better displays last time out when coming 2nd of 5 runners at Fontwell. Running off the same mark here as last time, he can run well once again but might have to wait a bit longer for that first career victory. And Couldbeaweapon has been knocking on the door without winning recently, with a few well-placed efforts to boot. He will no doubt run well like he always does in this context, but he might have to settle with filling the places for connections.
Below form when made too much use of and did not stay, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Punchestown last time. Enjoys racing prominently; outside chance.

Although pulled up over fences when last seen in May, switching to hurdles on the back of an absence could benefit YES INDEED. Martin Keighley's charge is 8lb lower in this sphere and looks particularly well handicapped judged on previously exploits, while the booking of Sean Bowen could be noteworthy. Bluegrass drops is class so must enter calculations, with Nowmelad suggested as the pick of the remainder.
This slight drop in class should suit BLUEGRASS down to the ground. Last seen in a class 2 contest at Haydock back in April, the Stuart Edmunds horse makes his seasonal debut here after 166 days off the track. Since his last run they have done the wind operation on him, which means he will come on for the run no matter what, but he might just have a bit too much class for the rest of these. A winner of a similar contest to this at Fakenham back in March, he is just 3 lb higher in the weights after that victory, and that was only two starts ago. Forget The Way has the benefit of the recent runs, so he does have race fitness on his side, and the yard he hails from are in cracking form at the moment. He is sure to run well in this but might just bump into one who could be a slightly better class of animal. And Yes Indeed was in winning form for Martin Keighley back in March and April; coming into this off a break and pulling up in his last run, he will need to be more than ready to go here but can still go well and claim a place on his seasonal debut.
Outpaced and failed to build on debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time. Returning from a break; effective at 2 1/2m but may want 3m in time.

Not a tall order set by those with experience, so it might pay to side with MASKED MAN. An emphatic winner of a point-to-point at Stowlin in May, the son of Masked Marvel is related to three separate winners and wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary to make a successful debut. Queensland Boy stayed well on the Flat and could have something to offer in this sphere, while wind surgery could spark an improved performance from At Mangan Bridge.
MASKED MAN is certainly the interesting one given the connections, the trainer and the fact that JJ Slevin comes here for just the one ride after riding at Sligo on Wednesday. The Twiston-Davies horse has only run once in his career, which was a 12-length victory in a point-to-point contest back in May, forging clear in the closing stages and winning with relative ease in the end. A very interesting recruit to the novice hurdle sphere this season, and although ultimately he might be a chaser in the making, it will be interesting to see where they go with him this season. A potentially very nice recruit for Team Double Green, he looks the sort who can easily land a race like this on debut. At Mangan Bridge, he has the benefit of two hurdle runs already; the wind surgery has been done since his last run back in June, and providing that has the desired effect, he can run well here but might have to settle for a place behind a very interesting debutant. And Cinnodin has also run twice over hurdles; he can put that to good use and fill the places in this.
Needed every yard and ran to form at a favoured venue, helped by a hurdle being removed when landing a handicap by 3/4l off 112 over 2m7f at Market Rasen last time. Trainer in form; a strong stayer who likes Market Rasen.
Winner of seven hurdle races from 2m to 2m 7f on good and good to soft ground. A winner at 9-1 in a hurdle race at Market Rasen over 2m 7f (good) on his latest outing in August, beating Halifax by 3/4l.

AN BRADAN FEASA dug deep to score under champion jockey Sean Bowen at Worcester last month. A 5lb rise looks fair and, provided his stamina holds out over this longer trip, the Camelot gelding could go in again. Belvedere Blast and Heather Honey, who completed her hat-trick at Bangor latest, can make things difficult for the selection for all that an ease in distance might not be ideal.
Sean Bowen had to be at his brilliant best to get AN BRADAN FEASA in front at the winning post last time out, as he looked a very tricky ride during the race. He did get his head in front that day at Worcester, and although he does have a 5 lb raise in the weights for just a half-length victory, he comes from a yard that does very well with his type once they get their heads in front. They might have been going a bit too quick for him over the 2-mile trip last time; therefore, he steps up in the trip here, and given the fact he was always running well last time out, this sort of trip could bring even more out of him. Heather Honey is the one who is the main danger, landing the hattrick at Bangor last time out back in June. She does have a little break to overcome here but was in cracking form before the break; therefore, she is sure to run well here. And Aslukgoes has won once and placed in 3 starts over hurdles, pulling up last time out at Worcester. It is best to draw a line through that effort, as that was not his true running. He can do well in this but might have to settle with filling the places in what looks like a decent contest on paper.

SHIBUYA SONG largely struggled after winning at Worcester last September, but she's now 2lb lower than for that success and could make a belated return to form. Veteran Stripe Of Honour has won when fresh previously so he could pose a threat to the selection, despite being 1lb out of the handicap. Matoury and Jager Time have few miles on the clock and are just two others to consider.
SHIBUYA SONG has struggled since getting her head in front at Worcester around this time last year, and although her strike rate is not the prettiest, she is now 2 lbs lower in the weights since that victory from last September, meaning she can bounce back to some sort of form here. A 3rd place finish earlier on in the year; she did disappoint last time out but has since dropped 2 lbs in the weights, meaning she could be well handicapped on her previous form. She will appreciate this trip and track; therefore, a bounce back to form can be expected in this. Scudamore came 5th on his hurdle debut for the season at Uttoxeter last time out, and although running on the flat at Nottingham in July, that run last time would have set him up ready for this. He can run well here with everything in his favour but might just bump into one who is primed and ready to win once again. And Zoffalee came 2nd at Uttoxeter back in July; if he can replicate that sort of form here, then he can run a big race and land another place finish.
