Has won a bumper and a Towcester maiden hurdle. Has attracted support on a number of occasions since without repaying that faith. Stable are in form but are 0-35 with their runners here.

20/1
Winner of a Newbury bumper and a hurdle in France. Has been poor of late and looks one to be wary of at present.

Jumped poorly last time on handicap debut last week. Cheekpieces are fitted and she now needs to improve considerably.

Has shown little to inspire in all starts under rules and in point-to-points. Tackles a new trip but hard to see that sparking the necessary improvement.

6/4
28-race maiden but offered some hope when well supported at Sedgefield last time. Worried out of it close home that day which was her first run in 10 months and stable debut. Handicapper has taken a dim view of that effort but trainer has found a suitably poor race if staying the longer trip.

7/1
Tackled this trip for the first time in February when she made modest late headway but was still beaten 35L. Not bred to stay this far. Stable without a winner since May 2015.

Forecasts

Icanmotor (6/4), Lillian (15/8), Hija (7/1), Civitesses (15/2), Lady Ash (14/1), Amour D'Or (20/1)

Verdict

It is hard to build a convincing case for any of these. Icanmotor looks sure to attract plenty of support having gone so close on her stable debut last time. The fact she has gone up 6lb for that effort and is yet to win in 28 attempts makes her unattractive at the forecast odds. LILLIAN has won a couple of races and her yard are going really well at present. She finished third when supported last time but that was her first outing in almost three months. That run may have been needed and she can give a more honest account here. The rest make little appeal and Hija may prove the pick of them for place honours.
