6/1
Closely related to the yard's winning hurdler Kayfleur. Down the field on her bumper debut. Top rider has an 18% strike rate for the yard.

4/9
This looks easier than her two previous attempts over hurdles. Jumping has room to improve and this stiff two miles may be right for her. Yard are just 4-33 here in the past five seasons.

Horse silk
Gowell56
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Kevin Jones(5)| T: J W Mullins
11/1
Last three runs have been a struggle. Hard to see her being involved on that evidence but her debut effort would give her an each-way shout in a race lacking depth.

Here All Along86
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: David Dennis
12/1
Fourth in an above average mare's point-to-point in December. Has joined a good yard that is going through a quiet spell. Worth a check in the market.

Horse silk
La Madrina17
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Page Fuller(7)| T: Mrs K Stephens| OR:  94
25/1
Has looked moderate to date after finishing down the field at long odds on all starts.
6
Horse silk
Theatre Rougeh33
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cheesman(5)| T: P Hobbs & J White
7/1
Well beaten on both hurdling starts to date. Well beaten behind Hitherjacques Lady last time and a line through that mare suggests she has a lot to find with Carnspindle. Stable took this last year.

Horse silk
Phoenix Firebird23
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-4| J: James Best| T: N J Hawke
25/1
Cost just £2,000 and made little impact on her racecourse debut. Yard are going well but it will be a major achievement if they can unlock the improvement she needs to land this.

Horse silk
Sapphire Noire14
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-4| J: C Gethings(3)| T: N J Hawke
50/1
Yard are doing well but it will be a shock if she adds to their numbers here.

Forecasts

Carnspindle (4/9), Black Tulip (6/1), Theatre Rouge (7/1), Gowell (11/1), Here All Along (12/1), Phoenix Firebird (25/1), La Madrina (25/1), Sapphire Noire (50/1)

Verdict

CARNSPINDLE is going to be hard to beat in what is a weak looking race. She has been placed in two better races than this and there were encouraging signs that her jumping had improved last time. Here All Along is interesting having contested a good point-to-point in Ireland last time. She would not have to be anything out of the ordinary to play a part here. Gowell is marginally preferred of the rest to occupy a place.
