Fairy Pol³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver

16/1

Appeared not to beat a great deal at Towcester a month ago when conditions were a lot quicker than expected here. Looks vulnerable under a penalty.

Form: 61

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

20/1

Half-sister to winning hurdler Minella Charm who made little show on Worcester debut. Weak in the market that day and an error halfway soon had her on trouble.

Form: 0

Biscuit²³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| BF

3/1

Huge mare who should have a future at the jumping game. Ran to a similar in three bumpers and makes hurdling debut over a trip that may prove on the short side. On the plus side the yard have their horses at the top of their game.

Form: 243-

Bonza Girl¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott

125/1

Tailed off on bumper debut last month when unfancied in the market. Needs to come on an awful lot for that experience.

Form: 0

Cheyona¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Kevin Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins

100/1

Tailed off in two bumpers and both starts over hurdles. Impossible to fancy judged on those efforts. Returns from four months off.

Drops Of Jupitor^h⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: David Noonan| T: A J Honeyball

40/1

Improved for quicker ground to land a Musselburgh bumper in January. Well beaten both starts since including hurdles debut last week.

Eddies Pearl¹⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: A Glassonbury| T: B Forsey

80/1

Tailed off on sole start in Ireland more than two years ago. Has first run since since joining new yard for £3,000.

Form: 4/PP43-1

Rosemary Russet²⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁷⁾| T: H Fry

9/4

Scored under this rider with more in hand than the margin suggests at Southwell and represents a yard with an excellent record here with hurdlers.

Form: U61-

Royal Claret^t²²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: N de Boinville| T: T Symonds

10/1

Showed some ability in bumpers whilst shaping like a mare who would need a trip when hurdling. Stable 0-36 this season and only three of those have managed to make the frame.

Form: 4345-

Tillythetank¹⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

8/1

Placed in two Irish point-to-points before joining new yard for £30,000 in June. Mudloving dam won on the Flat and over hurdles/fences. Interesting recruit for a top yard and not highly tried on hurdling debut.

Form: 3-2

Timeforben³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

11/2

Had future winners behind when showing a good turn of foot to score on her Irish point-to-point debut and bought for £28,000 soon after. Will be better for a run in a bumper last month after a year off and should go well for last year's winning yard

Form: 1-3

Waiheke²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: L Heard| T: P Hobbs & J White

13/2

Cheap buy for the yard at £2,500 but hinted at ability on Ffos Las debut. Ran as though this longer trip would help.

Form: 5

Westerberry³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Daniel Sansom⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins

100/1

Behind Timeforben on bumper debut but, as a daughter of Westerner, should improve for the softer conditions expected this afternoon.

Form: 7

Wilspa's Magic¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Michael Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Hodges

200/1

Moderate Flat sprinter who was never a factor on hurdling debut two weeks ago. Sent off at 200/1 that day and hard to fancy again.

Form: 7

Winter Squaw⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Lucy Gardner⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

150/1

Showed little between the flags and has yet to threaten to achieve anything better over hurdles. Tailed off here last week at odds of 250/1.

Form: P-R4P07

Forecasts

Rosemary Russet (9/4), Biscuit (3/1), Timeforben (11/2), Waiheke (13/2), Tillythetank (8/1), Royal Claret (10/1), Fairy Pol (16/1), Anndarrow (20/1), Drops Of Jupitor (40/1), Eddies Pearl (80/1), Westerberry (100/1), Cheyona (100/1), Bonza Girl (125/1), Winter Squaw (150/1), Wilspa's Magic (200/1)

Fairy Pol needs to defy a penalty on much softer ground than when scoring at Towcester. That leaves her vulnerable even though there is a lack of depth to this contest. Hurdling debutantes Biscuit, Tillythetank, Rosemary Russett and TIMEFORBEN represent leading yards. Rosemary Russett has the pick of the bumper form but TIMEFORBEN won a point-to-point which was rich in future winners and looks a shrewd purchase at just £28,000. Biscuit looks the type to do better over longer trips in future but her yard have been going well recently.
