9/2
Decent third in a hurdle over an extended 2m4f at Market Rasen (good) in November. Well held upped to 3m subsequently and needs to put that latest effort behind her.

4/1
Bumper winner on heavy ground last March and placed on both starts over hurdles to date. Cheekpieces worn when third over an extended 2m5f at Hereford (good-to-soft) last time out are retained.

Cold Fusion48
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: Shane Quinlan(7)| T: D L Williams
33/1
Placed on good-to-soft ground on the Flat at Windsor in October. Disappointing since and others make more appeal on hurdling debut.
4
Horse silk
Cushuish21
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan(3)| T: R H Buckler
12/1
Signs of ability in three starts over hurdles but unseated in a 2m3f contest at Taunton (good-to-soft) last time out and needs to improve on what she's shown so far.

Printing Dollars20
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen(3)| T: W Greatrex| OR:  117| BF
13/8
Point-to-point and bumper winner finished 5L second in a 2m5f novice hurdle at Warwick (good-to-soft) three weeks ago. Likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.

Rosie Royale25
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Teal(5)| T: R A Teal
33/1
Winner of five races on the Flat but struggled on hurdling debut at Wincanton (good-to-soft) and more needed stepping up markedly in distance.

Sea Presentp144
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle(5)| T: Miss J Du Plessis
66/1
Failed to finish in two point-to-points last year and was beaten 77L on last months hurdling debut. Cheekpieces tried for the first time.
8
Horse silk
Whispering Affair56
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: Ian Williams| OR:  112
3/1
Promising second off a mark of 112 on debut for this stable at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) in October. Failed to build on that next time and claims back in maiden company.

Forecasts

Printing Dollars (13/8), Whispering Affair (3/1), Cedar Valley (4/1), Berboru (9/2), Cushuish (12/1), Cold Fusion (33/1), Rosie Royale (33/1), Sea Present (66/1)

Verdict

PRINTING DOLLARS has run to a good level so far and a repeat of her previous hurdles starts should be enough to take this maiden contest stepping up in distance. The selection can get the better of Whispering Affair who is making just her third start since joining this stable while third place can go to Cedar Valley who filled the same position at Hereford last time.
