Off time: 17:30 | Winning time: 4m 5.0s

Foxtrot Juliet⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 112

8/1

Novice hurdle winner at Wincanton (2m, firm) in October, though not gone on from that since including handicap debut at Kempton in January when fading from the front and tailing off. Should enjoy the forecast ground.

Form: 21F237

Rose To Fame^p,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| D

13/8

Unspectacular in bumpers, but much-improved second hurdles run when scoring over this trip at Ludlow this month in first-time cheekpieces. The one to beat on that form.

Form: 0-72361

Cool Artist¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

50/1

Mare of little account on the Flat, finished 30L fourth 11 in Sedgefield novice (2m1f, good) earlier in the month. Needs to improve on that showing.

Form: 4

Jaunty Soria^t1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: B Eckley| OR: 112

16/5

Two good runs over hurdles so far, latest over this trip at Ludlow when 6L second to Rose To Fame (6lb better off now). Gets first-time tongue-tie added here.

Form: 42/5-442

Triggywinkle^p,t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 67| D

200/1

10-year-old with modest 2-29 career record, both wins over fences (not since 2016). Poor at Exeter (2m7f, good) recently having undergone a wind operation. Hard to see first hurdles wins arriving now.

Form: 7U53-P0

Powerful Society⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 107

7/4

Won twice on the Flat over 7f for Richard Fahey and filly has been knocking on the door of late in minor handicap hurdles for current yard, tough remains 0-11 in this sphere. Should be winning races soon.

Form: 753232

Forecasts

Rose To Fame (13/8), Powerful Society (7/4), Jaunty Soria (16/5), Foxtrot Juliet (8/1), Cool Artist (50/1), Triggywinkle (200/1)

ROSE TO FAME took a good step forward to win at Ludlow on second hurdles start and looks the sort to improve again, ensuring she can hold up the form with Jaunty Soria despite a 6lb tug at the weights here. The consistent Powerful Society is also worth considering.
