Belle O' The Dales²⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss E Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond

40/1

Signs of ability when fourth on Wetherby debut last December but off since pulling up there (reportedly bled) 5 weeks later.

Form: 4P-

Blue Hawaii²⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: T Collier

22/1

Down the field at Uttoxeter and Market Rasen (listed event) last season so hard to make a case for her here.

Form: 77-

Booley Beach

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington

6/4

Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Gun Digger and fair hurdler Bazarov. Dam bumper winner. Stable had an impressive winning newcomer at Sedgefield last month.

Form:

Crow Tree

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: A Robson

66/1

Califet half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Earls Fort and bumper winner/fair hurdler Dasmyhoss. Dam unraced. Likely best watched.

Form:

Ferney Green

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R D Day| T: N G Richards

17/2

Schiaparelli filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Amberose and bumper winner Rubytwo. Much respected on debut for yard with a good bumper strike-rate.

Form:

Fille D'avignon²⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: P A KirbyWS

33/1

Well beaten in 2 runs last winter. Has subsequently had wind surgery.

Form: 90-

Flighty Bride⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys

33/1

11/1, 18 lengths third of 6 in bumper at Fontwell (18f, soft) on debut 54 days ago. Down in trip. Improvement required.

Form: 3

Merry Berry²⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

5/1

Ran to only a modest level in a couple of bumpers at the beginning of the year but she's in good hands and it would be no surprise to see her fare better on this return.

Form: 54-

Our Elsie³⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: D W Whillans

50/1

12/1, well held on Ayr debut a year ago.

Form: 8-

Roxanya²³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford

28/1

From a yard which is no stranger to bumper success but she was 28/1 and down the field on Down Royal debut in March. Brian Hughes up but would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 8-

Tara Kay⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie

10/1

Tongue tied and stepped up on her first 2 efforts when third at Kelso in September but the form isn't anything out of the ordinary and likely she's vulnerable to an above-average newcomer.

Form: 563

Wisteriarose

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: Micky HammondWS

3/1

€40,000 Leading Light half-sister to 3 winners, including very smart chaser Hell's Kitchen and useful chaser Militarian. Richard Johnson has ridden first-time-out bumper winners for yard. Had wind op.

Form:

Zara's Universe²⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J Kington| T: A Crook

250/1

Down the field in 2 bumpers at Wetherby last winter.

Form: 88-

Forecasts

Booley Beach (6/4), Wisteriarose (3/1), Merry Berry (5/1), Ferney Green (17/2), Tara Kay (10/1), Blue Hawaii (22/1), Roxanya (28/1), Flighty Bride (33/1), Fille D'avignon (33/1), Belle O' The Dales (40/1), Our Elsie (50/1), Crow Tree (66/1), Zara's Universe (250/1)

BOOLEY BEACH is the only runner Harry Whittington sends up here from his Oxfordshire base and she might be worth chancing for a stable which can certainly ready one for a bumper. Wisteriarose and Ferney Green are other newcomers to note, while Fergal O'Brien's Merry Berry may improve on her two efforts last year and play a part.
