2/1
Dual course winner who has been running creditably without getting her head in front this season. She is 1lb lower than when last successful at Market Rasen with this jockey on board so everything points to a bold bid with underfoot conditions ideal.

14/1
Had been hitting the frame with regularity before finding the company too hot and tailing off at Cheltenham last time. Back to a more realistic level, she is only 1lb higher than when getting her head in front at Plumpton in March, last year.

14/1
Successful twice on the Flat last year, but not quite so good over hurdles since. Led for a long way when third at Stratford in October and, despite her lay-off, may make another bold bid from the front on a track which suits prominent racers.

6/1
Successful twice over hurdles, including when winning on her penultimate start at Huntingdon in March. Off a 4lb higher mark, she was slightly disappointing at Fontwell and needs to bounce back to form if she is to figure.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-9| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood| OR:  101
8/1
Lightly raced and has shown only limited ability in novice and handicap company. Better ground may help, but others have stronger profiles.

Amron Kalit22
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-7| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR:  99
6/4
Won on her first start for her current yard when successful at Fontwell in January. The handicapper has had his say, but she has run well, including when a close second at this track on her latest start, and deserves a second look.

Forecasts

Amron Kali (6/4), Mystic Sky (2/1), Pretty Rose (6/1), Versifier (8/1), Sureness (14/1), Hope's Wishes (14/1)

Verdict

A tight mares' handicap hurdle which can go to top weight MYSTIC SKY, who likes this track and has plenty going for her. Hope's Wishes is handicapped to go close, while further down the weights Amron Kali is likely to get involved on the evidence of her last display.
  1. Mystic Sky
  2. Hope's Wishes
  3. Amron Kali
