Off time: 15:10 | Winning time: 4m 29.95s

Unsuspected Girl^t⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 100

16/1

Showed improved form to be placed in a couple of Worcester novice hurdles in the summer before being soundly beaten on her Newton Abbot handicap debut. Non-runner on soft going before; so not hard to have doubts about her on this ground.

Form: 57238

Camile^p,t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Alain Cawley| T: I Jardine| OR: 96| D

6/4

Made a good start for this yard after coming from Ireland winning over hurdles and on the Flat within first three starts. Rather lost her way over hurdles of late now fitted with tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination (first-time); leap of faith needed.

Form: 21-P077

Bossiney Bay^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: P J Brennan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 95

6/1

Form has rather gone the wrong way since she won a small-field Exeter novice in May (2m1f, good) including being beaten in a seller last time (first-time blinkers proving worthless). Ground a question mark along with attitude; not hard to ignore.

Form: 2-15585

Definite Winner^t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 93| D

16/1

Stable have been very quiet of late with that form mirrored in this ones performances of late. Well beaten under a change of tactics (held up) last time out at Chepstow (after a wind op); ground looks to have gone against her once again.

Form: 8-15F88

Mac Amara³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 91

8/1

Stable still to really get going; handicap debut didn't see her take a step forward (pulled up); struggled due to jumping errors. Had shown some promise at Warwick prior to that last run but once again hurdling errors blighted her chance; unsafe.

Form: 992-4P

Peltwell¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 90

3/1

Still unexposed over hurdles having finished second on her handicap debut at Chepstow (travelled well) to one who goes well at the Welsh venue. Could have more to offer if she handles the slower ground; yard in good form, last six runners - 121121.

Form: 93-362

Cold Fusion^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 80

22/1

Best that she can offer over hurdles is two runner-up slots in selling hurdles in the spring although she did run a creditable races when last seen in a handicap. Stiff task of late on the Flat in France; temperamental sort though, hard to trust.

Form: 254-625

Fillydelphia⁶⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: L Bailey| OR: 75

40/1

Soundly beaten on the Flat of late and has looked rather moody/unreliable on occasions. Now back over hurdles her 0-7 in this sphere hardly has you rushing to support her; makes very limited appeal given her profile.

Form: 96P4/U-5

Princess Kodia^h⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: Katy Price| OR: 72

12/1

One of two that the stable run in this race her 0-5 record over hurdles is hardly one that inspires. However, she has offered a little more since being switched to handicaps (jumping needs brushing up); 2lb out of the weights, ground a question mark.

Form: 787F6

Homing Star²³⁴

Weight: 11-4| Age: 4

T: D Killahena & G McPherson J: Kielan Woods

Forecasts

Camile (6/4), Peltwell (3/1), Bossiney Bay (6/1), Mac Amara (8/1), Homing Star (8/1), Princess Kodia (12/1), Unsuspected Girl (16/1), Definite Winner (16/1), Cold Fusion (22/1), Fillydelphia (40/1)

This isn’t a contest that really appeals with very few progressive or even improving types in the field. PELTWELL would hold the most attraction for any potential backers having run well on her handicap debut last time in a big field at Chepstow. As long as she handles conditions here, she should be able to go one better off a 4lb higher mark with the Mulholland barn going well. Mac Amara really needs to tidy up her jumping before she can be considered and that probably leaves Homing Star to be the main danger on her handicap debut. Both Unsuspected Girl and Princess Kodia have to prove themselves on the ground but in a weak heat they could take a hand.
