Winner of 3 handicap hurdles in 2019 and added to her tally at Stratford (16.3f) on return. Below par both runs since though so needs to bounce back.

3/1
Ex-French recruit who has made up into useful winning 2m hurdler for current yard. Arrives on back of fine second in 14f Nottingham handicap so holds good claims returned to hurdles.

Landed Aintree mares' listed event last term and back to winning ways in 2m handicap at Fakenham 15 days ago by 2l from A Little Chaos. Sure to go well again despite 3 lb rise.

6/1
Dual 2m scorer over hurdles last season who has shaped as if in good form this term, badly hampered 2 out and not recover when in midfield in 2m Cheltenham handicap last time. Worth considering.

7/4
Has made excellent start over hurdles, comfortably landing the odds in 2m novices at Hereford and Huntingdon. This is more demanding but she's open to improvement so not taken lightly on handicap bow.

28/1
Already a three-time winner this term, and still in with every chance when taking heavy fall last in 2m Hereford handicap 30 days ago. Raised another 4 lb but thriving mare must enter calculations.

10/1
Dual hurdle winner in 2018/19. Missed last season but right back on song when second to Midnights' Gift in 2m handicap at Fakenham 15 days ago. Nudged up just 1 lb so another bold showing is on cards.

Forecasts

Marada (7/4), Miranda (3/1), Midnights' Gift (4/1), Miss Heritage (6/1), A Little Chaos (10/1), Cotton End (28/1), Cubswin (28/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for all of these but Paul Nicholls' MIRANDA starts the season on a good mark so gets the nod on the back of an excellent recent second on the Flat. Fakenham-scorer Midnight's Gift is sure to make her presence felt along with hat-trick seeking Marada, while the thriving Cotton End is not ruled out lightly either in a cracking heat.

  1. MIRANDA (IRE)
  2. MIDNIGHTS' GIFT
  3. MARADA
