Arctic Footprint³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 101

3/1

Posted her best effort to date when finishing fourth of 14 here (extended 2m2f, heavy) last month and possible the longer trip will bring some improvement. More needed but not out of this by any means.

Form: 078-74

Flow With Eve^p²²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: K Bishop| OR: 78

50/1

A modest maiden whose record currently stands at 0-22 in all races (including point-to-points); best efforts have been posted in selling company and surely once again vulnerable to a more progressive type at her age.

Form: 0F-5000

Kilconny Bridge²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A J Honeyball

1/4

Won her sole start in a point-to-point and justified her subsequent £75,000 price tag when making a winning start over hurdles at Plumpton in early December. Caught out by the drop by in trip last time but this test is more suitable; a player.

Form: 112

Kingsmill Gin⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: Miss J Du Plessis

80/1

Easily brushed aside in a bumper at Chepstow on her racecourse bow last November and needs a big step forward from that performance if she's going to be a serious threat. Probably safe to just take notes this time.

Form: 0

Memphis Bell³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

20/1

Has a likeable pedigree and it's a bonus that she has experience of this course; but she finished tailed off on her racecourse debut last month and is another who requires a much improved effort to get involved at the business end.

Form: 9

Seb's Sister²⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price

33/1

A cheap purchase but bred to get this sort of trip and notable that her dam is an unraced half-sister to Ad Hoc; a classy stayer in his day. Fell and then ran out when tried in a couple of point-to-points, so hard to recommend on that evidence.

Form: F-R

Forecasts

Kilconny Bridge (1/4), Destinee Royale (4/5), Arctic Footprint (3/1), Memphis Bell (20/1), Seb's Sister (33/1), Flow With Eve (50/1), Kingsmill Gin (80/1)

DESTINEE ROYALE has been given time to develop after undergoing wind surgery last year and, having gone close on her belated return to action at Lingfield last month, the mare, whose yard is going great guns, has been found a good opportunity to boost her profile now she steps up in trip. Kilconny Bridge found the drop back to the minimum distance at Catterick an unsuitable test last time and is another who might well improve for this extra yardage. Arctic Footprint is suggested as the best of the rest at this stage.
