Fricka³⁰⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Carson| OR: 118

28/1

Gifted an easy lead when landing a mares' maiden at Huntingdon last October. Sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap off what looks a tough opening mark.

Form: 232/61F-

Green Or Black^p,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 118

5/1

Stepped up on low-key reappearance over fences when third back in this sphere at Stratford (16.3f). Yard in good form and one to consider off the same mark here.

Form: 1334-53

Sid Hoodie^p,t³⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 112| CD

15/2

Resumed winning ways in this race last year and went in again at Warwick the following month. Judged on final run of 2019 the handicapper probably has her measure for now.

Form: 1/33115-

Eva's Diva¹⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Middleton| OR: 110

13/2

Fair form in bumpers and placed on each of her half-a-dozen starts in this sphere. There should be mileage in current mark and claims if ready to roll back from a 6-month break.

Form: 322327-

Perfect Myth^h,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 109

13/8

Sporting this headgear combination for the first time and having undergone wind surgery in June, she returned to form when runner-up over C&D recently. Big player if able to build on that.

Form: 3/58P5-2

Local Affair²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 105| D

6/1

Huntingdon winner in March and not disgraced back from a break at Southwell. However, looked held when unseating rider 2 out there last month and current mark leaves little margin for error.

Form: 8F91-7U

Ayr Of Elegance²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 105| D

16/1

Opened hurdles account for Henry De Bromhead in Ireland last year but little impact in 2 starts for new yard.

Form: 3367-89

On The Quiet²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 103| D

10/1

Ffos Las bumper winner last summer but 0-9 in this sphere and failed to beat a rival home at Stratford last month.

Form: 2U55-57

Forecasts

Perfect Myth (13/8), Green Or Black (5/1), Local Affair (6/1), Eva's Diva (13/2), Sid Hoodie (15/2), On The Quiet (10/1), Rose To Fame (10/1), Ayr Of Elegance (16/1), Fricka (28/1)

GREEN OR BLACK put in a good shift back over hurdles at Stratford last month and she could be another winner for the in-form Neil Mulholland yard. Sid Hoodie is 9 lb higher than when winning this race 12 months ago and the selection may have more to fear from Eva's Diva and Perfect Myth.
