Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: B I Case| OR: 107| D

20/1

Winner twice already this year including at Worcester (2m, good) last month. Well held since and more needed if she's to take this.

Form: 4-41517

Khismet²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 105

7/2

Running well in the main of late but held by Ginger Fizz on running at Worcester last month. Trip should suit but yet to prove she handles ground as soft as is forecast today.

Form: 15-9352

Gi Jayne⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 105

9/2

Placed in point-to-points and in a maiden hurdle for previous yard. Unraced since finishing well beaten at Gowran Park (2m4f, good) in June and one for the shortlist on handicap and stable debut for a shrewd outfit.

Form: 302-B70

Bobble Boru²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Stan Sheppard⁽³⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 105| D

13/2

Best effort of late came when beaten a nose over 2m at Worcester (good) earlier this month. Raised 3lb for that effort and one to consider in this contest.

Form: 54355-2

Just A Feeling¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: James Davies| T: D Skelton| OR: 90| BF

25/1

Placed three times for Paul Webber but disappointing favourite when well beaten over C&D on debut for this yard recently. Worth a check in the market on this occasion.

Form: PP2/8-60

Soiesauvage^h,t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: P J Brennan| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 86

Forecasts

Khismet (7/2), Gi Jayne (9/2), Cosmic Tigress (11/2), Bobble Boru (13/2), Prairie Impulse (9/1), Bridane Rebel (10/1), Peggy's Acre (11/1), Soiesauvage (12/1), Ginger Fizz (20/1), Dizzey Heights (22/1), Just A Feeling (25/1)

Trainer Dan Skelton has done well with his new recruits and GI JAYNE can make a winning handicap debut for the trainer in this contest. The selection is a half-sister to a number of previous winners and the forecast good-to-soft ground should suit as should the 2m trip. Bobble Boru ran well when runner-up at Worcester last time and is taken to claim second off his revised mark while Cosmic Tigress remains open to improvement and can claim third today.
