Panic Attack³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 123| BF

5/1

Beaten a long way on handicap debut at Cheltenham in November, but resumed progress when scoring in good style at Newbury in December. Possibly unsuited by conditions there last time so not ruled out.

Form: 0-21018

La Domaniale¹⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 122

5/1

Successful on only start in France in juvenile hurdle and shaped well on her first outing for this yard after 14 months off when third at Ludlow in November. May well do better on handicap debut.

Form: 1-3

Valse Au Taillons¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 121| D

11/4

Fairly useful hurdler, winning again at Warwick (19f) in November and then second at Hereford. Shaped as if still in good form in jumpers bumper earlier this month but may find a few too good here.

Form: 33-P124

Lily The Pink^t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 114| C| D

6/4

Opened hurdles account at this course (16.8f) last winter and resumed progress in a first-time tongue strap after 8 weeks off when scoring at Fontwell last month. Up 4 lb and remains of interest.

Form: 512-241

Committee Of One²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: T R Gretton| OR: 96

9/1

Hadn't shown much in first 3 starts but caused a 66/1 surprise from 9 lb out of the weights on handicap debut at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) 22 days ago. Task is now to back that up here.

Form: 5-981

Forecasts

Lily The Pink (6/4), Fontaine Collonges (13/8), Valse Au Taillons (11/4), Panic Attack (5/1), La Domaniale (5/1), Committee Of One (9/1)

FONTAINE COLLONGES built on her promising reappearance when scoring in a Leicester novice last month, able to dictate and battling well having been headed briefly on the run-in. With the promise of better to come now handicapping, she's taken to follow up. Lily The Pink is a mare on the up but she may have to settle for silver here, ahead of Committee of One.
