Off time: 16:17 | Winning time: 5m 5.8s

Caviciana^h³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: W T Kennedy| T: N P Mulholland

100/1

Showed glimpses of ability in bumpers but beaten 69L on hurdles bow. Can only be watched here.

Form: 399-

Deja Vue^h1⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A J Honeyball

5/1

Recorded a modest time when outclassing her rivals to land an Inch point-to-point. Bought for £82,000 after and showed some ability when midfield at Fontwell in February. Longer trip here helps and hood added now.

Form: 1/5-

Easter Gold⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Maxime Tissier⁽⁵⁾| T: L Wadham

11/2

Returned to fair debut form when fifth to Silver Forever at Ascot on reappearance but well held next at Sandown. Handicaps may prove best chance.

Form: 25/57-

Escort'namix¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: W Greatrex

20/1

Soft-to-heavy ground point-to-point winner in Ireland fell early on hurdles bow and unseated next. Jumping still far from perfect latest but finished third. Capable of going well from the front if jumping holds up.

Form: 1/46FU3-

Hotter Than Hell⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

5/1

Second in two of her four starts to date and not disgraced latest in what looked a pretty warm contest at Newbury. Perhaps up against it with Sunrise Ruby but ought to make her presence felt.

Form: 2/926-

Leave My Alone⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford

25/1

Point-to-point winner in December finished midfield in first two hurdles races at Wincanton and Chepstow. Would need to improve to make the frame but not out of the question she can.

Form: 7F164-

Miss Molly Mae⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland

50/1

Well beaten on hurdles bow and pulled up in two more races since. Hard then to merit more than a watching brief.

Form: 06/PP-

Moor Freedom⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J McGrath| T: P Gundry

66/1

Runner-up on bumper debut but form has deteriorated since in varied company. This looks a tough assignment on balance.

Form: 2/0906-

Strangsmill^p1¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 88

100/1

Pulled up on first two runs after a two-year absence and tailed off last latest. No appeal.

Form: 3P9/PP0-

Sunrise Ruby⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 117| BF

4/6

Winner of her lone bumper at Southwell back in June. Runner-up won twice afterwards to frank the form. Second on hurdles bow at Newbury over 2m4½f in January before staying on for third over inadequate 2m there. Leading claims here.

Forecasts

Sunrise Ruby (4/6), Lily The Pink (7/2), Hotter Than Hell (5/1), Deja Vue (5/1), Easter Gold (11/2), Escort'namix (20/1), Leave My Alone (25/1), Miss Molly Mae (50/1), Plansina (50/1), Moor Freedom (66/1), Caviciana (100/1), Strangsmill (100/1)

This looks an excellent opportunity for SUNRISE RUBY who has shown plenty enough in her first two hurdle races to suggest she can land a contest such as this. The danger could be hurdles newcomer Lily The Pink whose bumper form is right up there with the selections. Escort'namix is slowly getting her act together jumping wise and she should make a bold bid from the front.
