Mrs Hyde²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: B Ellison| OR: 140| D

5/2

Bumper winner for Fergal O'Brien. Has won 4 of her 5 starts for this yard over hurdles, including a 2nd listed success at Wetherby last time. Concedes weight all round but worthy of plenty of respect.

Form: 6-11311

Will Victory²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: C J Mann| OR: 132

28/1

Won both her starts over hurdles in France and shaped well under a maximum penalty when a close second in a C&D event earlier in the month. Open to improvement.

Form: 112

Ahorsewithnoname⁴³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

9/2

Bumper winner who landed a brace of 1½m novice events on the Flat for Brian Ellison in 2019. Pitched in quite deep on hurdles debut for new yard after 439-day absence but still well worth a look.

Form: 431/

Champagne Terri^b1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: A Keatley| OR: 113

100/1

Doncaster juvenile winner in March and also scored on Flat in July. Stepped up on recent run when third to Midnight Ginger at Fakenham, but she's surely out of her depth here. Blinkered for 1st time.

Form: 931-53

Estelle Ma Belle^h⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 120| D

5/1

Useful on Flat in France in 2017 and opened her account at the second attempt over hurdles with a fair bit in hand at Ffos Las (15.8f) 41 days ago. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 2-1

Midnight Ginger¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| C| D

9/1

Taking winner on bumper debut here last December. Only fourth in Market Rasen listed event next time but jumped fine when making a successful debut at Fakenham recently and looks a decent prospect.

Form: 14-1

Pink Sheets¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Quinn| OR: 124| D

10/1

Bumper winner for Mick Channon and generally progressive as a hurdler, completing the hat-trick under a double penalty in 2m Kempton novice 19 days ago. This is obviously tougher but she's likeable.

Form: 6-32111

Politesse²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R M Power| T: L Fowler| OR: 125| D

11/4

Bumper winner who made a successful transition to hurdles at Thurles (15.4f, soft) in March. Shaped well in Grade 2 at Down Royal on return and remains capable of better.

Form: 3211-5

Forecasts

Mrs Hyde (5/2), Politesse (11/4), Ahorsewithnoname (9/2), Estelle Ma Belle (5/1), Galice Macalo (15/2), Midnight Ginger (9/1), Pink Sheets (10/1), Will Victory (28/1), Champagne Terri (100/1)

MRS HYDE has been a revelation for her new yard over hurdles this season, and with the form of her Wetherby win already working out, she's taken to make it 3 on the spin in listed company. Politesse shaped well in a Grade 3 on her return and remains capable of better, while Galice Macalo has earned a crack at this level after defying a penalty with ease at Stratford.
