Little Miss Poet¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 121

1/10

Takes a keen hold but has still performed to a solid level winning two of her five starts. Sets a clear standard on form and in form stable appear to have found an ideal opportunity for her to add to her tally.

Form: 216-

Cascaye^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

4/1

Has looked green but has indicated she possesses ability. May be best to overlook her latest run in bad ground. Stable in form but this is not a happy hunting ground for them.

Form: U2

Civitesses⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: W Featherstone⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr

100/1

Modest pointer who has shown nothing under rules. Yard without a NH winner since October.

Form: 068354

Drewmain Legend²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: A Stronge

100/1

Some appeal on pedigree as dam was a winner between the flags. Showed little on her bumper debut.

Form: 04

Llantara¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Benjamin Poste⁽³⁾| T: T Symonds

10/1

Has shown ability in all her starts to date. Has been produced travelling well but has failed to deliver at the business end. This stiff track will probably demand more than she can offer.

Form: 635-

Royale Champ⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: Nick Mitchell

25/1

Winners in her pedigree and showed some promise on her point-to-point start in Ireland. Has shown nothing in two runs for new yard but has been given a break since her last effort suggesting something may have been amiss.

Form: 35

Robinetta³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: David Noonan⁽³⁾| T: J Scott

50/1

Last on her hurdling debut when racing too keenly. Could improve for the experience but it would be a shock if she could lower the colours of the favourite.

Form: 0

Princess Sonoma³⁰

Weight: 10-12| Age: 7

Forecasts

Little Miss Poet (1/10), Cascaye (4/1), Llantara (10/1), Royale Champ (25/1), Princess Sonoma (25/1), Robinetta (50/1), Drewmain Legend (100/1), Civitesses (100/1)

It is impossible to oppose LITTLE MISS POET who faces her easiest task over hurdles and represents a yard in form and who do well here. Cascaye and Llantara also represent yards that are going well at the moment. Both have shown ability but their efforts to date leave them a long way short of the standard set by the likely favourite. Nevertheless they make far more appeal than the rest of the opposition. 1. Little Miss Poet 2. Cascaye 3. Llantara
