Ballingers Corner²⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson

2/1

Picked up for £50,000 after winning her sole start between the flags in January. Of obvious interest on Rules debut for top yard, even more so if the market speaks in her favour.

Form: 1-

Fivetotwelve^t1²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy

10/1

Stepped up on hurdles debut when third behind potentially very useful novices Soaring Glory and Bravemansgame (winner since) at Chepstow (2m, good). Open to further improvement. Tongue strap applied.

Form: 5-53

Kitty Hall²⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| BF

10/1

Smooth winner of a Carlisle bumper last December and shouldn't be judged too harsly on subsequent Doncaster reverse. Brings potential to the table now hurdling, but this is a tough starting point.

Form: 316-

Mrs Doubtfire

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: Ian Williams

66/1

Jeremy mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/smart chaser Soldier of Love and useful chaser Mercy Mercy Me. This is a tough race in which to make her debut and there'll be other days.

Pellady³⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

11/2

Runner-up on 3 of her 4 starts between the flags, and offered something to work on when sixth of 18 in 23f Thurles maiden hurdles for Debbie Hartnett last November. Likely to do better in time.

Form: 2/4226-

Serenisa^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden

200/1

No great shakes in bumpers and soundly beaten when last in a 4-runner mares' novice on recent C&D hurdles debut.

Form: 934

Shiroccsmyworld²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales

10/3

Showed fair level of ability in bumpers and made an encouraging start over hurdles when third of 11 in a Hexham maiden (20.1f, soft) last month. Should improve.

Form: 733-3

Temple High²⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

10/3

Well-bred mare who shaped with considerable promise on hurdles debut for Nicky Henderson at Warwick (21f, soft) in January. Since joined another top yard and she's the one to beat.

Form: 5/3-

Forecasts

Ballingers Corner (2/1), Shiroccsmyworld (10/3), Temple High (10/3), Pellady (11/2), Fivetotwelve (10/1), Kitty Hall (10/1), Mrs Doubtfire (66/1), Serenisa (200/1)

TEMPLE HIGH shaped with considerable promise when third on hurdles debut third at Warwick and, with improvement anticipated for her new yard, she will take some stopping. Point winner Ballingers Corner is an intriguing recruit for the Nicky Henderson yard and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant, while Fivetotwelve and Shiroccsmyworld are both open to improvement.
