Form: 431P3U

Posh Totty¹⁵⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Bryony Le Clerc⁽³⁾| T: Jack Barber| OR: 72| D

2/1

14 time winning point-to-point mare and well supported prior to finishing runner-up on her rules return at Plumpton (good) in November. Placed at Ludlow later that month and she is one for the shortlist despite racing from 1lb out of the handicap.

Form: 21-2122

Bel Esprit³⁵⁵

Weight: 11-4| Age: 9

T: R Stephens J: T J O'Brien

Forecasts

Posh Totty (2/1), Roll The Dough (5/2), Goosen Maverick (4/1), Bel Esprit (11/2), I Am Sam (11/1), Goodnight Charlie (12/1), Ticket To Ride (12/1), Dancing Conquest (20/1), Fifty Shades (33/1)

Multiple winning point-to-pointer POSH TOTTY placed twice over hurdles in the autumn and she can make a winning debut over fences racing from 1lb out of the handicap in this. The daughter of Midnight Legend can get the better of Bel Esprit who was in good form when last in action nearly a year ago while third place can go the way of Roll The Dough who should appreciate the better ground forecast for this.
