Verdict

In-form NO MORE BOLERO has the least to prove and looks the percentage call in the opener. The main danger could be Juan Bermudez, who likes it here and may get a soft lead.

2	Another success story for excellent yard, just coming up short on his hat-trick bid at Market Rasen (19f) in August. That form has worked out well and he remains in good heart, typically requiring plenty of driving when runner-up on the Flat at Pontefract latest. Leading claims back hurdling. 1st Pick 2 No More Bolero Jockey: Callum Pritchard Trainer: James Owen J: Callum Pritchard T: James Owen	100	-	-	-	63%	3/5

1	Made all to record a fourth course success (19f) in late-May. Couldn't capitalise on soft lead when beaten 1½ lengths here (2m) prior to finding his run of good form coming to a halt over C&D latest. No surprise to see a bounce back if allowed to dictate in a weaker race. 2nd Pick 1 Juan Bermudez Jockey: Fern O'brien Trainer: Henry Oliver J: Fern O'brien T: Henry Oliver	98	-	-	-	25%	3/1

3	Won a C&D novice last May before following up on chasing debut at Hexham. Now 5 lb below that winning mark following another temperamental display at Uttoxeter (2½m). C&D record at least offers some hope that she can capitalise. 3rd Pick 3 All Inn Hand Jockey: Rian Corcoran Trainer: Mickey Bowen J: Rian Corcoran T: Mickey Bowen	99	-	-	-	23%	7/2
