Dame du Soir24
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: D G Bridgwater| OR:  124| BF
9/4
Beat subsequent winner Colorado Doc at Hereford last month, and showed similar form when third of six to The King of May in a novice handicap at Sedgefield last time. Jumps well, and should give a good account up in trip.
2
Horse silk
Stupid Cupid67
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick(3)| T: Sheila Lewis| OR:  88
50/1
Successful in a mares' handicap chase at Worcester (2m7f, good-to-soft) in the autumn, well held most recently and questions to answer down in distance on these terms.

Horse silk
Chilli Filli69
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR:  135| C
4/9
Hurdles winner over 2m5f here last season, has run well on both starts over fences in Listed novices' events; trip fine and should have leading claims in this field.
4
Horse silk
14/1
Some promising form in bumpers but tailed off on hurdles bow at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) last month and big ask now going straight over fences against experienced rivals.
5
Horse silk
Happy News26
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Philip Donovan(7)| T: J Groucott| OR:  93
33/1
Yet to figure prominently, including three runs around here over hurdles; has a mountain to climb on switch to chasing seemingly.
6
Horse silk
66/1
Won a very weak point-to-point match last year (opponent pulled up) but no form to speak of in two Rules starts; looks booked for minor role unless opponents fluff their lines.
7
Horse silk
The Toojumpa25
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR:  103
7/1
Has twice finished second in small-field novice chases at Uttoxeter this season (both over further) though the form leaves him with plenty to work on down in trip.
8
Horse silk
Tinctoriat12
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-12| J: Miss L Brooke(7)| T: Lady S Brooke| OR:  64| D
150/1
Modest sort on all known form, the 10-year-old was tailed off in three-runner Mares' Novices' Chase at Bangor recently and looks set to struggle again.

Forecasts

Chilli Filli (4/9), Dame du Soir (9/4), The Toojumpa (7/1), Crackle Lyn Rosie (14/1), Happy News (33/1), Stupid Cupid (50/1), Midnight Calamity (66/1), Tinctoria (150/1)

Verdict

She has twice run well in Listed novices' events at Bangor and Warwick this season already and, with no ground/trip concerns, this looks a guilt-edged opportunity for CHILLI FILLI to get on the scoreboard over fences. Dame du Soir is feared most on form, while The Toojumpa may have place claims.
