Queens Present^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Lawes| OR: 102| D

10/1

Has failed to finish in her last three starts, two of which have come over fences. She made her seasonal reappearance in a 2m5f handicap hurdles at Warwick where she was pulled up before two out. Needs to improve.

Form: 432/PP-P

Indian Native^p,t¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 98

5/2

Broke her maiden over fences last time at Southwell (2m4½f) in a four runner contest. Has been raised 3lb in the weights by the handicapper for that success. One to consider as she looks to follow up.

Form: 676-451

Megaboost¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: C Gethings| T: B I Case| OR: 87

12/1

Remains a maiden after 13 starts under Rules. She has been well beaten on three runs this season, including latest at Southwell (3m1½f) when she was pulled up before three out. Has been eased 2lb but others are preferred.

Form: 22P-44P

Alys Rock^p³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: Laura Morgan| OR: 84

22/1

Has two wins over fences, however, her form has been poor recently. She returned to action at Sedgefield (2m½f) last time after over a year off the track where she was pulled up before three out. Best to watch for now.

Form: 147P6-P

Stonebrigg Legend²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 84| BF| CD

6/5

A two-time C&D winner. She has gone close on both of her two runs this season, including latest at Huntingdon (2m7½f) when she was second of 13 as the 3/1 favourite. Has gone up 5lb for that near miss. Big player.

Form: 115-622

Westerner Ocean²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: R P McLernon| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 76

6/1

Is still a maiden after seven starts. She was fourth of 10 at Wincanton (3m2½f) last time out in her best performance so far. Is stepping down in trip now and has been eased 2lb. One for the shortlist.

Form: 878-054

Bennys Girl^p¹³

Age: 12| Weight: 10-1| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 73| D

16/1

Has prevailed three times over fences, however, she hasn't shown her best form for a while. She was pulled up last time at Hereford (2m5f). Is down 4lb in the weights but others appeal more.

Form: 7PP-44P

Forecasts

Stonebrigg Legend (6/5), Indian Native (5/2), Westerner Ocean (6/1), Queens Present (10/1), Megaboost (12/1), Bennys Girl (16/1), Alys Rock (22/1)

STONEBRIGG LEGEND has two wins over this C&D and she can have more success on her return to this course. She has been running well without success this season so she does not need to step up too much to add to her tally. Indian Native scored at the seventh time of asking over fences last time and is the biggest danger as she looks to follow up with 3lb extra on her back, while Western Ocean may now be off a mark which is very workable so expect to see her go close.
