7/1
Beat a modest bunch at Lingfield and has been exposed under a penalty in both starts since. Could be a similar story here.

Epatante102
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: B J Geraghty| T: N J Henderson
1/6
Had smart bumper form and had pleased her trainer prior to her successful hurdling debut. There was a promise of better to come and she will be hard to beat here if that is the case.
3
Horse silk
100/1
Down the field in two bumpers around here and highly tried on hurdling debut. Likely to come into her own over further and in handicaps further down the line.
4
Horse silk
10/1
Failed to settle on hurdling debut when a well held third. Claims of making the frame again judged on her bumper form

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: L Heard| T: O Sherwood
25/1
Point-to-point bumper victory came in modest company. Shaped as though needing the run on hurdles bow, but still looks short of what will be required here.

Pardon Me39
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: J McGrath| T: J W Mullins| OR:  105
20/1
Has shown some signs of ability but an official rating of 105 suggests she is out of her depth in this company.
7
Horse silk
8/1
Reasonable AW/Flat performer at around 1m4f (OR 62). 12-1 and made a decent debut over hurdles at Wincanton on Boxing Day. Any improvement for that could see her make the frame.

Stream Lady64
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D PipeWS
20/1
Won an Irish maiden point-to-point by 12L on her only outing in that sphere, and travelled quite well when fifth on bumper debut. Soon beaten on first try over hurdles but has had wind surgery since. Stable have a 2-2 record in this race.
9

Filipine28
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-3| J: Jordan Nailor(7)| T: R Hobson
50/1
Modest form thus far and this easier than last time. Receives plenty of weight but still does not look good enough.

Forecasts

Epatante (1/6), Coded Message (7/1), Penny Poet (8/1), Darling Du Large (10/1), Stream Lady (20/1), Pardon Me (20/1), Makety (25/1), Filipine (50/1), Arctic Footprint (100/1)

Verdict

EPATANTE justified her home reputation when impressing on her hurdling debut. She may have beaten little that day but probably has even less to do here. Coded Message, Darling Du Large and Penny Poet look the ones to include in tricast permutations.
  1. Epatante
  2. Darling Du Large
  3. Penny Poet
