Anndarrow

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

David's Phoebe²⁵

10/1

Fair fifth on debut and improved markedly on that when finishing runner-up over an extended 2m at Market Rasen (good) on debut at the end of last month. One for the shortlist if repeating that effort.

Monrocco¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

100/1

Signs of ability in four starts so far but beaten 24L at Towcester (good-to-firm) last time out and likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

50/1

Fair efforts in three bumpers and a maiden hurdle so far most recently when fourth at Towcester (good-to-firm) earlier this month. More needed if she's to take this however.

Forecasts

Melangerie (9/4), Peggies Venture (11/4), Molly Childers (11/4), David's Phoebe (10/1), Anndarrow (16/1), All Currencies (20/1), Tangley (20/1), Odello (40/1), Nicely Done (50/1), Reine Des Miracles (50/1), Miss Adventure (50/1), Shroughmore Lass (66/1), Miss Clyro (100/1), Queens Cloak (100/1), Monrocco (100/1)

MOLLY CHILDERS made a satisfactory start to her hurdling career when finishing thid at Market Rasen and she can break her maiden here for in form trainer Stuart Edmunds (2/6). The selection placed in three of her attempts at bumpers and can see off David's Phoebe who finished runner-up and one place ahead of the selection in the aforementioned Market Rasen contest while dual bumper winner Melangerie represents a leading stable here and may prove best of the rest.
