Champagne Pink^h²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 76| CD

11/2

Rattled off fine C&D hattrick earlier this winter and has run well in defeat off this higher mark last two oputigs. Should again be there or thereabouts despite top weight.

Form: 111-424

Shufoog⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 74

14/1

Scored twice for William Haggas earlier in career but absent for 14 months before making debut for current handler. Has run poorly in two starts over hurdles but any market interest would be worth noting back on the level.

Lassana Angel²⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S Donohoe| T: T R Gretton| OR: 66

12/1

Maiden High Chaparral filly formelry trained by Roger Charlton. Debut for new yard after nine-month absence but not out of it on pick of form from last term.

Form: 3/654-

La Sioux^p1⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

10/1

Landed Catterick 7f maiden on racecourse bow last term but disaoppinted in two subsequent starts on AW this winter. Has something to prove but first-time cheekpieces may help focus her mind.

Form: 10-4

Indigo Princess⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 65

16/1

Only win in 20 starts came on turf at Nottingham last May. Went close at big odds at Chelmsford this winter but otherwise ran poorly on AW. Inconsistent and hard to get too excited about her chance.

Form: 66-8266

Sunshineandbubbles^p¹¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: J Candlish| OR: 59| CD

5/4

In fine fomr this winter scoring three times including a wide-margin success over C&D last wek where she won with any amount in hand. Carries 6lb penalty but may well follow up if in similar form.

Perceived¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 63

5/1

Failed by just a head to score over C&D last time out of today's mark having also shaped well here in two previous visits this term. Anotehr good display seems on the cards.

Form: 205-332

Luna Magic^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 61

8/1

Won here over 1m in December and met trouble in running here last time when an unlucky fifth. Has place prospects at least if avoid traffic this time.

Form: 501-845

Forecasts

Sunshineandbubbles (5/4), Perceived (5/1), Champagne Pink (11/2), Luna Magic (8/1), La Sioux (10/1), Lassana Angel (12/1), Shufoog (14/1), Indigo Princess (16/1)

SUNSHINEANDBUBBLES was very impressive when hacking up over course and distance last week and a 6lb penalty is unlikely to stop her following up on that evidence. Perceived poses the main danger having gone close last time and is in good form, while Luna Magic has also been running well and didn't get a clear run last time. Champagne Pink has had a fine campaign here this winter, and although the handicapper appears to have her measure now she still may not be far away.
