1/4
Useful mare, six-time winner under rules with a career best coming in a Listed race at Newbury in November when making all to win. Not disgraced at either the Cheltenham or Aintree Festivals and sets a clear standard for the rest to aim at so should prove most effective dropped in class.

Treackle Tart17

7/2
Confirmed her novice hurdle promise with a win at Exeter in a novice handicap hurdle off a mark of 109. Has plenty to find with La Bague Au Roi, despite that easy win and can make the occasional jumping error.

Horse silk
Dont Tell Valt69
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien
20/1
Bumper winner at Fontwell and the form of that effort has been franked since. Respectable fourth in a bumper on her latest start at Ascot but this looks a tough race to be making a hurdles debut in and she may have just bumped into at least one too good this time around but clearly an exciting prospect.

Forecasts

La Bague Au Roi (1/4), Treackle Tart (7/2), Dont Tell Val (20/1)

Verdict

LA BAGUE AU ROI has been in fine form for some time now and she put up fair efforts at both the Aintree and Cheltenham Festival's; she ought to appreciate this drop in class and she should take all the beating. Treackle Tart was an easy winner last time out and her hurdle experience may just allow her to get the better of Dont Tell Val, who has shown some promise in bumpers.
  1. La Bague Au Roi
  2. Treackle Tart
  3. Dont Tell Val
