Off time: 18:50 | Winning time: 5m 50.60s

White Lilac^p1³³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 106

25/1

Point-to-point winner who showed little over hurdles for Henry De Bromhead in Ireland. Makes her English debut after the best part of a year on the sidelines with cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 246/960-

Sauvignon^h⁸²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 105| CD

5/1

Off the mark at the ninth attempt when scoring over C&D last time. Connections remain in fine form and she looks a major player despite her 7lb rise in the weights.

Form: 926/4F-1

Northern Beau¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Scudamore| OR: 105

9/1

Won both her point-to-points in Ireland, but has not been the same force over hurdles. Not disgraced when third of eight at Bangor last time and this step up in distance could suit.

Form: P0-3323

Marvellous Monty^b⁵⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: J Farrelly| OR: 105

13/2

Remains a maiden after 17 starts, 14 of them over hurdles. Inching down the handicap, but her case is hardly compelling.

Form: 9493-36

Undisputed³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: Noel Williams| OR: 104| BF

7/2

Only win in 11 starts over hurdles came at Newton Abbot in June, last year. Not disgraced on last two outings, however, and has each-way claims despite having stamina to prove.

Form: 743-544

So Sorry Sarah⁴⁸²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| OR: 102| BF

9/2

On long, losing run when trained in Ireland by Joseph O'Brien. First run for a yard which does particularly well with other trainer's cast-offs so far from a forlorn hope with the champion jockey on board.

Form: 545444/

Outrageous Romana^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 89| D

3/1

Registered her third win over hurdles when scoring at Bangor last time. Up 5lb, but should be thereabouts under her 7lb claimer.

Form: 35-5131

Celer Et Audax^h1⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Alain Cawley| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 84

50/1

More letters than numbers next to her name. Connections reach for a hood for the first time and she looks the second string to the yard's Outrageous Romana.

Form: U0UP0-P

Rubys Cube⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 83

40/1

Unplaced in six races over hurdles and was pulled up over 2m at this venue last time. Impossible to make a case for.

Form: 446F-0P

Aine's Choice^p1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 72

50/1

Beaten out of sight in four starts for current trainer. Runs from 7lb out of the handicapper, so first-time cheekpieces need to produce astonishing improvement.

Form: P17086

Non-Runners

Starlit Night³⁷

Weight: 10-0| Age: 6

T: C J Down J: Page Fuller

Forecasts

Outrageous Romana (3/1), Undisputed (7/2), So Sorry Sarah (9/2), Sauvignon (5/1), Marvellous Monty (13/2), Northern Beau (9/1), White Lilac (25/1), Rubys Cube (40/1), Celer Et Audax (50/1), Aine's Choice (50/1), Starlit Night (66/1)

Sauvignon will be the starting point for many punters given the success being enjoyed by her stable, but she may be worth taking on with SO SORRY SARAH, an Irish import who makes her debut for an upwardly-mobile yard with the champion jockey booked. Outrageous Romana should run her race again, while Northern Beau and Undisputed may make their presence felt.
