Luna June³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alain Cawley| T: F O'Brien

18/1

Daughter of Mahler who is a half-sister to a couple of winners including the useful Balbriggan. Beaten quite a long way when fourth of eight on debut at Taunton, but can do better for a stable which does well in these races.

Form: 4-

Orchard Moon^t1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: M D Grant| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

66/1

Poor fourth on Uttoxeter debut and well held at Towcester since (both heavy ground). Tongue tie added here and meets better ground. Lots to work on.

Form: 48-

Pomme De Nuit⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: M Keighley

50/1

Sister to a bumper winner but tailed off on Ascot debut and needs to improve considerably in order to figure in the finish.

Form: 8-

Potters Vision⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen⁽³⁾| T: A King

11/4

Runner-up in sole Irish point-to-point in February and has joined a top set-up ahead of rules bow, no surprise to see a bold show.

Form: 2-

Watts And Hopps

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies

40/1

Half-sister to temperamental but fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Wizards Bridge. Market will reveal more on debut.

Form:

Yellow Dockets^h²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

7/4

Runner-up in sole Irish point-to-point, close third on bumper debut at Towcester last month, may have won there but for hanging badly. Likely to learn from experience and big chance.

Form: 23-

Cooling¹⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: R T Dunne| T: J L Flint

33/1

Outran odds of 50/1 when 4L second in a bumper at Towcester (1m6f, good) in November. Up in trip and could build on that effort off the break.

Form: 52-

Gayton²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Kielan Woods| T: Mrs P Sly

50/1

Second foal of a useful 2m7f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner out of 2m3f-3m3f hurdle/chase winner. Trainer not noted for winners in this sphere and well held last month on debut at Southwell.

Form: 8-

Kalifornia²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly

11/1

€31,000 purchase last June. Second foal of a useful 2m2f-2m4f chase winning half-sister to useful 2m4f/2m5f chase winner Carigeen Victor. Didn't achieve much on debut but champion jockey booked now, may be more to come.

Form: 7-

16/1

Midnight Legend filly is a half-sister to modest hurdler Pink Tara. Yard not noted for bumper winners (2-17 previous 12 months).

Form:

40/1

A £28,000 Sans Frontieres filly, she's a half-sister to the smart hurdler/chaser Different Gravey. Makes first start here and looks second string on jockey bookings.

Form:

Valjan

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Thomas Garner⁽³⁾| T: O Sherwood

7/1

Shirocco half-sister to five winners, including Champion Hurdle winner Katchit. Makes appeal on paper ahead of this debut outing.

Form:

Whiteoak Molly

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

8/1

Flemensfirth half-sister to fair hurdler Little Acorn, coming from a good stable and worth paying some scrutiny in the betting on debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Yellow Dockets (7/4), Potters Vision (11/4), Valjan (7/1), Soraya (7/1), Whiteoak Molly (8/1), Kalifornia (11/1), Pink Legend (16/1), Luna June (18/1), Cooling (33/1), Teme Spirit (40/1), Bet On Betty (40/1), Watts And Hopps (40/1), Gayton (50/1), Pomme De Nuit (50/1), Orchard Moon (66/1)

Yellow Dockets needs serious consideration having shown up well on debut, with this left-landed circuit in her favour having hung away her hopes last time. She should come on for the run while Cooling also needs a second look. The rules newcomers could have a big day and recent point-to-point winner SORAYA earns the call for a yard that does well this sphere. Potters Vision and Valjan are also noted on debut.
