Henrietta Bell⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: H Whittington| OR: 127

9/1

Winner of each of her last three completed starts including by ½L in a four runner 2m7f handicap hurdle at Worcester (good-to-soft) in July. Leading contender off a 9lb higher mark on her return from a break.

Form: 4-21F11

Inessa^p¹⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 123

4/1

Shown good form in three starts since returning this year including when winning by 1L in first time cheekpieces (retained) over 2m4f at Fakenham (good) when last in action back in May. One to note following a 4lb rise in the weights.

Form: 21123-1

Midnight Glory¹⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 120| CD

5/1

Built on a promising third over an extended 3m at Ayr (good) in April when winning by a short-head in a 2m7f event at Exeter (good) the following month. Worth a check in the market off a 5lb higher mark.

Form: 141F3-1

Skewiff³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 119

20/1

Made a winning return to hurdles with victory by 1½L in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell (good) on last months seasonal debut. Raised 4lb for that victory and is worth a check in the market on this occasion.

Form: P715F-1

Organdi³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 118

7/1

Dual hurdles winner most recently by 14L over an extended 2m4f at Southwell (good) in July. Good 4L third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) subsequently and she is an interesting runner in this event.

Form: 841-313

Ratoute Yutty^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 117

28/1

Well beaten 54L tenth of 13 in a handicap chase over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen (good) on return from a break recently. Probably best watched on her return to hurdling.

Form: 532-320

Misty Bloom¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 117| D

3/1

Made a winning seasonal debut when victorious in a 2m5f handicap hurdle at Warwick (good-to-firm) last month. Has to defy a 5lb rise in the weights if she is to follow up.

Form: 13242-1

Aweeminit^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 107

11/2

Broke her maiden when victorious by 6L in a 16 runner handicap hurdle over an extended 2m3f at Bangor (good) in August. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day retained when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) subsequently.

Form: 665412

Mrsgrey¹⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 102

16/1

Promising 4L third when making her handicap debut in a good ground contest over this C&D at the start of April. Likely more needed if she is to take this contest.

Form: 29563-

Forecasts

Misty Bloom (3/1), Inessa (4/1), Midnight Glory (5/1), Aweeminit (11/2), Organdi (7/1), Henrietta Bell (9/1), Mrsgrey (16/1), Skewiff (20/1), Ratoute Yutty (28/1)

A highly competitive mares handicap contest with no fewer than five last time out winners can go the way of top weight HENRIETTA BELL who has been in great form in recent times. The six-year-old is taken to record her third consecutive victory with Inessa who represents a yard who are in great form at present capable of taking second place ahead of Midnight Glory who has a promising conditional jockey in the saddle.
