Runasimi River²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| BF

9/1

Successful twice from four starts and under pressure when coming down two from home at Sedgefield (good) over 2m1f last time out. Carries a penalty for a Southwell success last month.

Form: 1-91F

Apache Song¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 119| BF

5/1

Maiden after 11 starts in all spheres but finished in the first three on both hurdles outings so far. Disappointing third when odds-on favourite last time out but a repeat of her debut effort should see her go close.

Form: 23-

Ask Alice^h1⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: M Keighley

40/1

Couple of fair efforts from three starts in bumpers. Beaten 20L into sixth at Southwell (good) last time out and wears a hood for today's hurdling debut.

Form: 6-46

Brandy Burn²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: P D Niven

66/1

Best effort in bumpers came when 19L fourth at Hexham (good) last month. Beaten 60L when finishing runner-up at Sedgefield (good) on hurdling debut last month and others make more appeal.

Form: 0-42

David's Phoebe³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: T Lacey

33/1

Ran well for a long way prior to fading in a bumper at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) on debut last month. Probably best watched on her first outing over hurdles.

Form: 5

Fast Play³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: C R Dore

66/1

Successful three times on the Flat including over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in February. Out of form since and others have a more obvious chance in this contest.

Molly Childers²⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings⁽³⁾| T: S Edmunds

2/1

Finished runner-up in a point-to-point and filled the same position in three bumpers prior to finishing a decent fifth in a Listed event at Sandown (soft) in March. Cheekpieces worn on that occasion are left off for today's hurdling debut.

Form: P2/2225-

Mountain Path³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill

5/2

Bumper winner at Wetherby (good-to-soft) over an extended 1m4f when with Micky Hammond. Ran well on hurdling debut for this stable when finishing second at Worcester (2m, good) and interesting to see how she performs today.

Form: 10-2

Thelunarschooner³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: W Greatrex| D

7/2

Well held in two starts in Ireland but made a winning debut for this yard in a bumper at Newton Abbot (good) over 2m1f last night. One for the shortlist on her debut over hurdles.

Form: 7-01

Forecasts

Molly Childers (2/1), Mountain Path (5/2), Thelunarschooner (7/2), Apache Song (5/1), Runasimi River (9/1), David's Phoebe (33/1), Ask Alice (40/1), Fast Play (66/1), Brandy Burn (66/1)

THELUNARSCHOONER put in her best effort so far when winning a bumper on debut for this yard last time out. The selection is related to a classy jumper in Raya Star and can make a winning debut over hurdles today. Molly Childers put in a decent effort when upped in grade for her final bumper start at Sandown last time out and can claim second ahead of Apache Song who can put a disappointing effort last time out behind her today.
