Horse silk
Runasimi River31
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Williams(5)| T: N P Mulholland| OR:  104
12/1
A bumper and novice hurdle winner back in 2017 but then absent for 607 days before two uninspiring efforts this time around. Needs to leave that form well behind.
2
Horse silk
Chilli Romancet16
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-8| J: C Brace(5)| T: F O'Brien| OR:  100
9/2
Proving a very reliable performer and has been placed in all three starts this campaign (including over this C&D). Heads here off the back of a career best second and likely to be involved again.
3
Horse silk
Milan Of Crystalt278
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR:  99| BF| C
33/1
Off the track since last October and returns 1lb higher than her last win. Has gone well fresh in the past and while others likely better handicapped, she could be competitive if fully tuned up.
4
Horse silk
Foxy Act41
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-2| J: Page Fuller(3)| T: C J Down| OR:  94| DWS
12/1
Returned from an absence of just over a year with two poor efforts, including over this C&D last time. Down 5lb but needs wind surgery to revitalise her.

Horse silk
Sense Of Urgencyh28
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: Grant Cockburn(3)| T: Mrs L B Normile| OR:  93
11/1
Both wins so far have come at Hexham including off this current mark. In form again last start at that track and claims if transferring the same level to here.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-13| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR:  91WS
11/10
Remains a maiden over hurdles following 14 starts but a point-to-point winner since. Makes debut for a stable in flying form following wind surgery and market support would be interesting. Improvement likely.
7
Horse silk
Dora's Fieldt,v126
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-9| J: T Scudamore| T: W S Kittow| OR:  87| D
5/1
Won a novices' selling hurdle at Exeter over this trip in April and has held that form since, while improving again the last twice. Blinkers replaced by a first time visor and every chance of being involved.
8
Horse silk
Wondergirlh1,t32
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-0| J: P J Brennan| T: M F Harris| OR:  74
16/1
Makes stable debut after leaving Robin Dickin. Has struggled to make any sort of impression in six hurdle starts to date and races from 4lb out of the handicap. Hard to make a case for.
9
Horse silk
All Riled Up7
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-0| J: Lewis Stones(7)| T: H Chisman| OR:  72| CD
40/1
Returned from absence of 988 days after Warwick win in May 2016 with two pulled up efforts and then finishing tailed off twice. Easy to overlook again.

Forecasts

Superefficient (11/10), Chilli Romance (9/2), Dora's Field (5/1), Sense Of Urgency (11/1), Runasimi River (12/1), Foxy Act (12/1), Wondergirl (16/1), Milan Of Crystal (33/1), All Riled Up (40/1)

Verdict

CHILLI ROMANCE is a consistent mare who is right at the peak of her game and gets a narrow preference in a tight contest. Dora's Field likewise is on an upward curve and again is proving very reliable. Superefficient has joined a top yard and she could well leave her previous form well behind.
  1. Chilli Romance
  2. Dora's Field
  3. Superefficient
