Molly Carew^t³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 109| CD

10/1

Made up into a fairly useful chaser but, having undergone wind surgery, her reappearance back in this sphere at Newton Abbot was rather tame. Others make more appeal.

Form: 4/4333-8

Catchmeifyoucan⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 102

15/8

Progressive this season and jockey's claim negates her penalty for another ready success at Doncaster a week ago, so she boasts terrific claims in hat-trick bid.

Form: 453-411

At First Glance²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: B S Hughes| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 108| D

16/5

Fair hurdler who put a poor reappearance behind her to get off the mark from the front in a handicap at Southwell 3 weeks ago. May do better still, so warrants respect.

Form: 3683-41

Howdilyoudo⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 107

20/1

Has offered something to work on in a bumper/2 novice hurdles and may have more to offer now handicapping for the first time. Considered.

Form: 3-43

Whiteoak Fleur³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 106

11/1

Proving expensive to follow and while she's likely to come on for her reappearance, her mark looks stiff on this belated handicap debut.

Form: 2/3524-5

Shantou Street^p1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: S Waugh| OR: 103

66/1

Mark looks rather excessive based on what she's achieved over hurdles to this point, so step forward required with cheekpieces on for her handicap debut.

Form: 00-3526

Lostnfound²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 99| C

9/1

Benefited from a breathing operation as she ended a drought from a reduced mark at this course last month, leading late. Back up in the weights in a hotter race now, though.

Form: 63-5481

Keep The River^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 99| D

28/1

Ended last season out of sorts and was well held at Ayr on her comeback run, so hard to fancy in a race that looks strong for the grade.

Form: F339U-6

Burrows Diamond²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 96

8/1

Lightly raced and, having been well backed, shaped encouragingly when fourth on handicap debut at Carlisle in November, pressing for home too soon. Should build on that, so she's worth considering.

Form: 9/754

Bobbie The Dazzler¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 96| D

200/1

Doesn't appear to retain any ability.

Form: 1/90P-88

Grey Girly^t⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: J McGrath| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 94

16/1

Modest maiden hurdler who had no excuses (made running) when third in a handicap at Kelso on British debut 41 days ago. Back up in trip but looks vulnerable.

Form: 0-P3653

Pepper Street^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 91

28/1

Fair Flat winner who hasn't cut much ice over hurdles and doesn't make a great deal of appeal despite a respectable third in a seller at Leicester recently.

Form: 6/4U74-3

Non-Runners

She's A Dancer¹⁴

Weight: 11-9| Age: 5

T: R Menzies J: Nathan Moscrop

Deauville Society¹⁰

Weight: 11-1| Age: 5

T: V Thompson J: Thomas Dowson

Forecasts

Catchmeifyoucan (15/8), At First Glance (16/5), Burrows Diamond (8/1), She's A Dancer (8/1), Lostnfound (9/1), Molly Carew (10/1), Whiteoak Fleur (11/1), Grey Girly (16/1), Howdilyoudo (20/1), Deauville Society (25/1), Keep The River (28/1), Pepper Street (28/1), Shantou Street (66/1), Bobbie The Dazzler (200/1)

CATCHMEIFYOUCAN is on a roll, had something up her sleeve when scoring at Doncaster last week and has a quality conditional taking off 7 lb for the first time, so she's a confident choice to land the hat-trick despite the presence of At First Glance and Burrows Diamond, who are both open to further improvement themselves.
