14/1
Placed in a maiden on the Flat on debut for previous yard in June 2016 but disappointing since including in three starts over hurdles. More needed here.

7/2
Winner at the first time of asking on the Flat for this yard at Chelmsford in October and a promising debut effort in this sphere at Market Rasen in December. Not really gone on from that since and a distant second at Wetherby last time out.

7/1
Winning Flat handicapper in Ireland but no show in two hurdles outings for this yard so far including at Taunton last time out. More needed her but yard has a 23% strike rate (5/22) in recent weeks.

The Groove15
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien
18/1
Well beaten in a bumper for previous stable and a similar story in two novice hurdles current yard. Likely to be seen to better effect once tackling handicaps.

Chandos Belle28
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-5| J: Joshua Moore| T: S Edmunds
13/8
Winner in France on the Flat when trained in Germany and signs of promise for this yard the last twice. Beaten 5L when finishing runner-up at Plumpton a month ago and likely to run well once more.

Lady Rocka250
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-5| J: Ian Popham| T: Mrs A L M King
100/1
Winner on the Flat in first time blinkers at Brighton in June but well held in them since and makes hurdling debut for a new yard here.

Zeehan95
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-5| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King
10/3
Winner of a maiden on the Flat when sent off an odds-on favourite on final run for previous yard when sporting first time cheekpieces. Makes debut for stable with an 18% strike rate (3/17) in recent weeks with the cheekpieces left off here.

Forecasts

Chandos Belle (13/8), Zeehan (10/3), Regal Gait (7/2), Spader (7/1), Attest (14/1), The Groove (18/1), Lady Rocka (100/1)

Verdict

CHANDOS BELL has placed on each of her two outings over hurdles so far and can register a first success since switching to this yard by taking this opening juvenile hurdler. The selection should appreciate the likely soft ground having won on ground with cut in it on the Flat in June and she is taken to get the better of another filly in Zeehan who makes her hurdling debut here having won on the Flat last time out with Regal Gait capable of making the frame once more.
