5/2
Showed promise in bumpers last season and made a pleasing switch to hurdling when successful at Newton Abbot earlier this month. Has to cope with a sounder surface and carries a penalty, but is respected.

Horse silk
10/3
Bumper winner who made a winning hurdling debut at Ffos Las before coming a cropper in a much better contest last time. This is a more feasible challenge, but one or two others make more appeal.

33/1
Runner-up in a Fontwell bumper last month, she was 30L behind Drinks Interval on her hurdling debut and clearly has plenty to do if she is to turn the tables. Connections reach for a tongue tie.

9/2
Looked a nice prospect when winning a Bangor bumper in May. Not been seen since, but the champion jockey is booked for her hurdling debut and she is likely to make her presence felt.

Horse silk
50/1
Placed in a couple of point-to-points in Ireland, she was tailed off on her debut for this stable in a bumper at Southwell in March. Should do better now she is switched to hurdling, but others look more convincing.
Showed a fair level of form in three bumpers, winning the last of them at Chepstow. Probably needed the outing on her hurdles debut at the same course, but shaped with promise and is likely to be sharper this time.

50/1
Cost €42,000 last year. Closely related to three winners, including in bumpers/hurdles/chases and is out of a 2m5f hurdle winner who stayed 3m1f. Tailed-off seventh of nine on hurdling debut at Bangor and may need more time.

100/1
Has been beaten a long way in all four starts in bumpers, Makes her hurdling debut today with plenty to prove.

Forecasts

Majestic Moll (7/4), Drinks Interval (5/2), Skewiff (10/3), Chilli Filli (9/2), Cautorillo (33/1), Janes Boutique (50/1), Oi Oi (50/1), Parisian Star (100/1)

Verdict

Drinks Interval did well to win on her hurdling debut, but it probably wasn't one of the strongest races of its type and she looks vulnerable under a penalty, along with Skewiff. Chilli Filli looked decent when winning a bumper and will have been well prepared for this hurdling debut, but preference is for MAJESTIC MOLL, who was also useful in bumpers and made a pleasing hurdling debut in a better race at Chepstow.
  1. Majestic Moll
  2. Chilli Filli
  3. Drinks Interval
