Takingitallin^p1³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 120| BF| CD

4/1

Dual hurdles winner in 2019, including here, and runner-up both starts over fences at Cartmel in July/August. Still, first-time cheekpieces need to help eke out a bit more if she's to take this.

Form: 1326-22

Black Tulip²⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly| OR: 112

4/1

Good second in 5-runner novice chase at Warwick (2½m) on latest start in March. However, she's 0-10 in this sphere and hasn't won a race of any description for the best part of 3 years.

Form: 53/33P2-

Simply Loveleh^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 111| CD

15/8

Bagged a couple of novice hurdles in 2019 and made it third time lucky in this sphere over C&D last month. 6 lb rise fair enough and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 300-921

Absolute Jaffa²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 106

13/2

Improved when leading from pillar to post in a handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f) 3 weeks ago. This is tougher up 6 lb, but she's unexposed in this sphere and merits respect.

Form: 24-5481

Admiral's Sunset^p1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: D Weston| OR: 105

9/2

Yet to strike over fences, but she's been placed on several occasions in this sphere, including when third of 11 at Stratford (17f) last time. Now tried in cheekpieces and she's not without hope.

Form: 224-343

Prettylittlething^p³³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Victoria Malzard⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100

50/1

Resumed winning ways off 1 lb lower mark at Ffos Las last July, but jumping let her down on final 2 starts of 2019 and 11-month absence to overcome.

Forecasts

Simply Loveleh (15/8), Black Tulip (4/1), Takingitallin (4/1), Admiral's Sunset (9/2), Absolute Jaffa (13/2), Prettylittlething (50/1)

Other than an awkward moment at the final fence, SIMPLY LOVELEH produced an assured round of jumping when opening her chase account over C&D in August. She could have more to offer in this sphere and earns the vote ahead of Admiral's Sunset and recent Sedgefield winner Absolute Jaffa.
