The Boola Bee^h¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 107

5/2

Already a dual chase winner this season but came in last in 11f maiden at Kempton on belated Flat debut 14 days ago. Leading contender back over fences.

Form: 420-113

Prettylittlething^p²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Victoria Malzard⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100

17/2

Has gone well fresh but offered little after 11 months off when remote fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, good) 26 days ago. Should be sharper now but still bit to prove.

Form: 25244-4

Still Believing²⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-5| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 100| CD

5/1

C&D winner but it's now twelve runs since last win in 2018 and ran poorly when pulled up in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Serious questions to answer now.

Form: 2P-34PP

Miss Zip²²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 99

5/1

Low-mileage 7-y-o who completed quick hat-trick last season at Sedgefield (2) and Ffos Las. Back from 7 months off now with stamina to prove and unproven on good to firm too, but not ruled out.

Form: 45P111-

Tb Broke Her²²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 98| CD

3/1

C&D winner but back in 2017 and she was well below par when last seen under Rules 17 months ago (point winner in the meantime). Plenty to prove.

Form: 12/4123-

Eastern Lady⁵⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: W T Kennedy| T: R J Price| OR: 84| C

15/2

Recorded back-to-back wins here and at Bangor when last seen, but has 18-month absence to overcome now and also goes beyond 21f for the first time which tempers enthusiasm.

Form: 4F7911/

Forecasts

The Boola Bee (5/2), Tb Broke Her (3/1), Still Believing (5/1), Miss Zip (5/1), Eastern Lady (15/2), Prettylittlething (17/2)

THE BOOLA BEE cut little ice when having a belated first go on the Flat earlier in the month but had been in excellent form prior to that over fences so gets a confident vote to notch win number three for the season here. All the others have questions marks against them but Miss Zip could be the one to chase her home ahead of Prettylittlething.
