14/1

Showed ability when hitting the frame in pair of Perth bumpers this summer and successful start over hurdles at Catterick (19f) 4 weeks ago. This demands more but she is open to progress.

Form: 321

Farne²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: Noel Williams| D

5/2

Had some decent bumper form in 2018/19. Disappointed in pair of Newbury novice hurdles for Neil King last winter but different proposition for new yard when winning Lingfield maiden last month.

Form: 234/87-1

9/4

Point/useful bumper winner who built on a promising hurdle debut second when scoring comfortably at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month. Can make presence felt at higher level.

Form: 11-21

Northern Beau^b,t⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: M Scudamore| OR: 125| D

10/1

Useful chaser who was a good second back hurdling at Uttoxeter in September. Shaped as if still in form back chasing after wind surgery at Cheltenham recently.

Form: 147-528

15/8

Third in Dawn Run at Cheltenham Festival in March and had little difficulty landing odds in 2½m Hexham maiden in October. Not seen to best effect back down at 2m when second in novice there since.

Forecasts

Rayna's World (15/8), Nada To Prada (9/4), Farne (5/2), Will Victory (5/1), Coquelicot (8/1), Northern Beau (10/1), Against All Odds (14/1)

NADA TO PRADA won easily on similar ground at Ffos Las a month ago so might be worth siding with in what looks an open race of its type. Rayna's World will be more at home back up in trip and rates a danger for last year's winning yard. Farne produced the performance her bumper ability suggested she should be capable of over hurdles when winning for her new yard last month and is also respected.
