Style It Out²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 108

10/3

Irish point winner who displayed improver for upped to 25.3f when landing a heavy-ground novice at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Opening mark looks very fair.

Form: 31-5651

Jessiemac^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 107| C

9/1

Course winner who got back on scoreboard at Kelso (25.8f) in October. Fifth-place finish back here over 3m 2 days ago suggests her mark is about right.

Form: 26-8195

Sophie Fatale^t⁷⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 107

11/1

Yet to get her head in front, squandering a soft opportunity in Hexham maiden hurdle in December. Also disappointing back in a handicap later that month and up in trip on return.

Form: 22-3U25

Pammi^p³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 106

16/1

Successful at Perth in August but mixed record since. Has edged down the weights and latest Musselburgh third confirms she's competitive.

Form: 75U753

Amberose^p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: R D Day| T: N G Richards| OR: 106

25/1

Dual hurdles winner who performed with credit when third on return at Perth in September. Well held completed starts since, though, including in first-time cheekpieces switched to a bumper.

Form: 6-38U50

Rubytwo^p³³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 105

12/1

Kelso bumper winner a few seasons back and finally got the job done over hurdles in a mares' maiden in November. Not disgraced at Doncaster next time and easy enough to excuse jumpers bumper run.

Form: 5-22149

Rivabodiva^t¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: P W Wadge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 103| C

33/1

Been more miss than hit since her last success in October 2018 and makes limited appeal having again failed to see her race out over 3m here 12 days ago.

Form: 5/63-688

Emma Beag¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Henry Brooke| T: D Brooke| OR: 99| C

6/1

Ended last season in good order, notching second success over 3m at this venue before finishing second on final run. Fell on reappearance but quickly back on the up when winning at Carlisle.

Form: 2312-F1

Grey Girly^t⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 96

13/2

Modest maiden hurdler but produced a career best when runner-up in the mud at Sedgefield in December. 2 lb higher back from a short break.

Form: P36532

Forecasts

Timeless Beauty (3/1), Style It Out (10/3), Emma Beag (6/1), Grey Girly (13/2), Jessiemac (9/1), Sophie Fatale (11/1), Rubytwo (12/1), Hidden Dilemma (12/1), Pammi (16/1), Amberose (25/1), Rivabodiva (33/1)

STYLE IT OUT showed a willing attitude when off the mark under Rules in novice company last month, and with a good test at this trip anticipated, she can follow up on handicap debut. Emma Beag and Grey Girly head the opposition.
