All My Love¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: Mrs P Sly

9/2

Dual winner on the Flat and still had chances when departing two from home on her hurdling debut at Wetherby earlier this month. Yard is going well at present (3/5 in recent weeks) and likely to be there at the finish.

Form: F12

Lavella Wells¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

66/1

Had just two outings since making her debut at Southwell in July 2013. Well held on her return from a near 22 month lay-off earlier this month and more needed here.

Form: 75/66

Queen Odessa⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry

11/10

Bumper winner at Doncaster 13 months ago and well fancied when highly tried in a listed bumper at Cheltenham on her seasonal return. Is a full-sister to the useful King's Odyssey and she looks likely to make up into a useful hurdler.

Form: 31-03

Squablin¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Stephen McCarthy⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

150/1

Well beaten in all four outings to date including over hurdles at Wetherby earlier this month. Will probably fair better once tackling handicaps.

Form: 56

Treackle Tart²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R Johnson| T: C E Longsdon

2/1

Finished runner-up at Leicester on her second outing over hurdles last month. Finished well beaten in her debut in this sphere the time before but had run well in a couple of bumpers prior to that and yard have had a few winners of late.

Form: 459221

Want The Fairytale¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

16/1

Winner over 1m4f on the AW at Wolverhampton in September. Well beaten off her revised mark subsequently and interesting to see how she fares on hurdling debut.

Form: 43

Non-Runners

Melodya⁶

Weight: 10-7| Age: 4

Forecasts

Queen Odessa (11/10), Treackle Tart (2/1), All My Love (9/2), Want The Fairytale (16/1), Lavella Wells (66/1), Melodya (66/1), Squablin (150/1)

ALL MY LOVE can put her Wetherby mishap behind her by taking this opening mares novices hurdle. The selection still held chances when coming to grief two from home on that occasion and she hails from a yard that are going well at present (two winners and two placings from their last five runners) and she can get the better of the well-bred bumper winner Queen Odessa who would likely prefer better ground than she'll encounter here. Treackle Tart is another to represent a yard going well and she can take third. 1. All My Love 2. Queen Odessa 3. Treackle Tart
