Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 105

Lady Chuffnell⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR: 103

6/1

Improved performer back over 2m, runner-up on handicap debut at Exeter in November before going one better at Plumpton 2 months later. Up 5 lb but may have more to offer.

Form: 0/66-621

Bonny Houxty^t³⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Blair Campbell⁽³⁾| T: D W Whillans| OR: 102

33/1

Showed a bit in a couple of novice hurdles but held back by her jumping on handicap debut upped up 22.7f at Kelso a year ago. Off since and this test looks insufficient.

Form: FF/5334-

Bioverdia²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: L Morgan| OR: 102

22/1

Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott in 2019 and twice placed in maiden hurdles last year. Couple of heavy defeats for this yard during the winter raise questions. Cheekpieces left off.

Form: F3274P

Burrows Diamond¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 97

5/2

Shaped better than distance beaten suggests when fourth of 12 at Sedgefield (19.8f) in December. Would have probably finished second has she stood up at Newcastle and 3 lb rise is fair.

Form: 9/7544F

Evita Du Mesnil²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Bourke| OR: 97| CD

11/4

Strong-travelling mare who was better than ever when landing a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. One to take seriously up 6 lb.

Form: 712P41

She's A Rocca¹²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 96WS

7/1

Strong in market when winning Ayr bumper last term. Has been brought along steadily over hurdles, though handicap debut run was underwhelming. Since undergone wind surgery.

Form: 18-4647

High Moor Flyer^h1²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Colm McCormack⁽³⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 102

16/1

Promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Leicester, but pulled up both starts in handicaps so easy enough to look elsewhere in a first-time hood.

Form: 24PP

Sindabella⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: N J Hawke| OR: 81

33/1

Minor promise only in her qualifying runs but handicaps are at least more suitable.

Form: 058

Forecasts

Burrows Diamond (5/2), Evita Du Mesnil (11/4), She's A Novelty (11/2), Lady Chuffnell (6/1), She's A Rocca (7/1), Esme Shelby (12/1), High Moor Flyer (16/1), Infiniti (20/1), Bioverdia (22/1), Sindabella (33/1), Bonny Houxty (33/1), Lady Babs (50/1)

BURROWS DIAMOND would have given the short-priced favourite plenty to think about had she stood up at Newcastle 12 days ago and on that evidence a handicap such as this is within her range. Last-time-out winners Lady Chuffnell and Evita du Mesnil head the opposition.
