8/11
Useful ex-French hurdler who was runner-up in Grade 2 company at Auteuil (17.9f, soft) when last seen in November. Providing all is well, she will take plenty of stopping on debut for new yard here.

Very limited appeal on paper. Yard also represented by Jillionaire.

Placed twice in bumpers in 2018, but lightly-raced and has offered little over hurdles/fences since.

Modest maiden on the Flat and while she has made the frame in both starts between the flags, a winning hurdles debut would seem unlikely.

Tailed off on her completed start over hurdles.

Jillionaire

100/1
Doesn't appeal as a probable first-timer-out winner on paper, so she's best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

Little promise on debut in a bumper, but she's certainly bred for jumping and made a fairly promising start over hurdles when third in an 8-runner mares' novice at Bangor (16.7f). Place possibilities.

150/1
Not badly bred, but hasn't offered much in a bumper/2 hurdle runs. Hood applied.

Timeform
Won sole point and left opening hurdles run well behind when, sporting a first-time tongue strap, finishing fifth in a big-field Doncaster novice (16.6f) last month. Open to improvement.
|
Timeform
Fair Flat winner who caught eye when sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f) last time, running on well late under patient ride. Still, she'll be of greater interest in handicaps later on.

Fairly useful ex-Irish middle-distance Flat winner for Johnny Murtagh. Off track since last in listed race at Naas in October, but rates interesting hurdling prospect and market check advised.

Fair maiden on Flat in France and similar form over hurdles. Didn't find much for pressure when runner-up in a Fakenham mares' handicap (2m) last time, but solid each-way chance here nonetheless.

Forecasts

Fortunes Melody (8/11), Yauthym (5/2), Starvoski (5/1), Wilderness (16/1), Lexi's Choice (20/1), Triple Nickle (33/1), Dinah Washington (50/1), Crackle Lyn Rosie (80/1), Jillionaire (100/1), Mosambo (150/1), Aluna Quartz (200/1), Granny Frankham (250/1)

Verdict

If able to reproduce something akin to her useful French form on debut for Harry Fry, FORTUNES MELODY will prove very hard to beat. Yauthym's finishing effort left plenty to be desired at Fakenham last time and Starvoski, who shaped pretty well second time up over hurdles at Doncaster, gets the nod for forecast purposes.

  1. FORTUNES MELODY
  2. STARVOSKI (IRE)
  3. YAUTHYM (GER)
