Verdict

Plenty in with chances but the vote goes to THANKYOURLUCKYSTAR, who bolted up under this rider at Worcester when last seen in May and an 11 lb rise may not prove enough to prevent him from going in again on return. Getaway Theatre relished the return to hurdles when scoring back in the spring, so Stuart Edmunds' mare heads up the opposition, with Murphy's Milan and Catch Catchfire both considered, too.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob
2	Relatively unexposed as a stayer and produced a career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle (7/2) at Worcester (23f, good to soft) when last seen 6 months ago, heavily eased having gone clear before last. 11 lb higher on return but looks one to keep onside. 1st Pick 2 Thankyourluckystar Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Alastair Ralph J: Harry Skelton T: Alastair Ralph	98	-	-	-	13%

5	Point winner who disappointed over fences last season but was right back to form to make her first start in a handicap hurdle a winning one at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) when last seen 9 months ago (tongue tied). 3 lb higher and certainly not dismissed on return. 2nd Pick 5 Getaway Theatre (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Hammond Trainer: Stuart Edmunds J: Charlie Hammond T: Stuart Edmunds	98	-	-	-	17%

6	Far from fully exposed after just 4 starts over hurdles and shaped as if in need of a step back up in trip when mid-field at Chepstow (19.4f, good to firm) on return 6 weeks ago. Hood goes on and he's high on the shortlist with that under his belt. 3rd Pick 6 Murphy's Milan (Ire) Jockey: Sean Houlihan Trainer: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White J: Sean Houlihan T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	100	-	-	-	29%
