Quick Wave^b1²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 125| D

12/1

Developed into a useful chaser for this yard last term and in process of running well when falling 2 out in Exeter handicap chase on return. Blinkered first time back hurdling. Goes well on heavy.

Form: 2/P212-F

Robin Gold^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 122| D

12/1

Quirky ex-Irish mare who is thriving for new yard, making it 4 wins in last 5 starts when seeing off 3 rivals in Bangor handicap 22 days ago. More needed here but can't discount in current mood.

Form: 011311

Whitehotchillifili²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR: 130| BF

13/8

From a yard in form and she posted a career best when second in C&D handicap (heavy) 29 days ago. Likely to go well.

Form: 1316-52

Forecasts

Stormy Ireland (6/5), Whitehotchillifili (13/8), Robin Gold (12/1), Quick Wave (12/1), Flow Away (14/1), Desaray Girl (33/1)

WHITEHOTCHILLIFILI's latest C&D second looks good handicap form and she's perhaps a more solid proposition than Stormy Ireland who would be a tough nut to crack at her best but it's hard to be sure what form she's in, albeit she should find life easier back among her own sex.
