Donna's Diamond62
Age: 12|  Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant| OR:  142| D
Won Rendlesham at Haydock in 2018 and showed he's still capable of smart form when second in that race in February. Found Stayers' at Cheltenham too much and needed to see more on reappearance.

Again showed a fine attitude when winning a C&D handicap hurdle for second year running in October. Never really a factor twice since, though.

Illegal Modelt29
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: B S Hughes| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  131
Well held sole point start but winning debut under Rules in 23f Lingfield novice hurdle in the mud in January. Solid if unspectacular start to life in handicaps of late.

Better Getalong31
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-13| J: R D Day| T: N G Richards| OR:  129| C
Creditable efforts in his 3 outings last term but low-key start to this campaign and stamina for 3m has to be taken on trust.

Portstorm19
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-5| J: C O'Farrell| T: I A Duncan| OR:  121| C
Fair bumper performer who was well prepared to make a successful return in 21.4f novice here 19 days ago. Return to 3m will suit, but that form isn't solid and opening mark looks stiff.

Baby Ticker19
Age: 12|  Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Connor Wood(7)| T: D W Whillans| OR:  121| C
Enhanced excellent course record in a 20.5f heavy-ground handicap 19 days ago. Shade fortunate to win on the day but well worth considering with 3m expected to suit.

Big Pennyv132
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR:  119| BF| D
Done well since joining this yard, successful at Perth and Lingfield during the autumn and lost very little in defeat at latter venue a month ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces and she's a big player.

Hastrubal34
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin(3)| T: A M Thomson| OR:  112
Improved plenty on only third run over fences when wide-margin winner of 26f Sedgefield handicap in January. Fell at Musselburgh final start and entitled to build on reappearance run. 4 lb "wrong".

Forecasts

Big Penny (3/1), Illegal Model (7/2), Baby Ticker (5/1), Portstorm (11/2), Justatenner (7/1), Hastrubal (10/1), Better Getalong (10/1), Donna's Diamond (12/1)

Verdict

BIG PENNY has been a real success story for her yard this term and with her current mark remaining a fair one, she could be the answer in a change of headgear. Baby Ticker and Illegal Model look to be the pick of the opposition.
