Crystal Gazing^t⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Joe Anderson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N J Henderson| D

9/2

Built on a couple of promising placed efforts when justifying favouritism in a 2m bumper at Worcester (good) at the end of August. Represents a leading stable and tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained.

Form: 321

Hello Bob²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater| D

7/1

Registered an 11L victory when making her debut in a bumper over an extended 2m at Musselburgh (good) in March. Changed stables since and is a notable runner in this event.

Form: 1-

Bit On The Side¹⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

9/1

Held in two starts in Irish point-to-points in the spring most recently when 24L eighth at Bartlemy (3m, good) in May. Market support would be notable for a stable with a 23% strike-rate (7/31) in recent weeks.

Form: 88

Capricia

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley

20/1

Unraced Mahler filly bought for €21,000 as a three-year-old in June last year. Half-sister to useful pair Shantou Bob and Uncle Danny and is an interesting contender on racecourse debut.

Form:

Cinderbella

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

9/2

Unraced MIdnight Legend mare out of a mare who won a chase and two point-to-points. Worth a check in the market for a stable who had a bumper winner earlier this week.

Form:

First Romance

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber

20/1

Unraced Shirocco filly out of a Grade 2 winning mare. Represents a useful stable and is an interesting runner on her first racecourse appearance.

Form:

Getaway Mixie³⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Joshua Moore| T: S EdmundsWS

14/1

Placed on sole completion in point-to-points when 3L second at Borris House (yielding-to-soft) in March last year. Highly tried when 94L last of 13 in Listed bumper at Huntingdon (2m, good-to-soft) on Rules debut last December.

Form: FP2/0-

Mac Kayla¹⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

20/1

Promising effort in finishing 13½L sixth in a 2m bumper at Uttoxeter (good) when debuting at the end of March. Interesting to see how she performs on seasonal debut.

Form: 6-

Maisiebella¹⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Shoemark| T: J Groucott

14/1

Beaten 12L when finishing fourth in a bumper over an extended 2m at Bangor (good) on debut in April. Likely to have improved for the experience.

Form: 4-

Rita O'hara

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Price⁽⁷⁾| T: Katy Price

50/1

Unraced Bollin Eric filly out of a mare who was also unraced. Probably best watched for a stable who are 1/21 with their bumper horses in recent seasons.

Form:

Sleptwithmebootson¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁷⁾| T: J G O'Neill

100/1

Improved on debut effort when finishing 28L fourth of six in a 2m bumper at Warwick (good-to-soft) last month. More needed if she is to take this contest however.

Form: 0-4

Urban Artist¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: H Morrison

2/1

Ran well to finish 3L fourth in a 15 runner 2m1f bumper at Cheltenham (good) in April. Stepped up on debut effort that day and is one to note in this event.

Form: 74-

Forecasts

Urban Artist (2/1), Crystal Gazing (9/2), Cinderbella (9/2), Hello Bob (7/1), Bit On The Side (9/1), Fit To Fly (10/1), Maisiebella (14/1), Getaway Mixie (14/1), Capricia (20/1), First Romance (20/1), Mac Kayla (20/1), Rita O'hara (50/1), Sleptwithmebootson (100/1)

URBAN ARTIST is improving with racing and having finished a good fourth in a competitive event in the spring she can register her first victory by taking the concluding race on the card. Crystal Gazing represents a top stable and she looks capable of taking second spot ahead of Hello Bob, the only other previous winner in the field.
