Off time: 14:41 | Winning time: 5m 49.44s

Timetoroe¹¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: A Watson| OR: 109

10/1

Regressed from a successful hurdling debut in the autumn, but could get back on track now venturing into handicaps up in trip after a break. Bred to be suited by 2½m+.

Form: 399-145

Fyfin Patsy^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 109

50/1

Best effort over hurdles came when second in a 2m Hexham novice in October. Failed to complete both chase starts and now back over timber from a stiff-looking opening mark.

Form: 2628-UF

Bellaney Gem⁶⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 103| BF

7/4

Went like the best-handicapped horse in the race for a long way at Navan in December. Below expectations at Fairyhouse a month later, but shaped as if still in good form. Must enter calculations.

Form: 0/4-6244

Tomorrow's Angel^v¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 100

15/8

Still a maiden under both codes, but ran up to her best when runner-up over 27f in Sedgefield handicap hurdle on yard debut 15 days ago. Can go one better over this shorter trip.

Form: 4-37422

Velkera³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: A Nicol| OR: 89

9/2

Modest form standout effort over hurdles on debut but little impact since.

Form: 57-07P8

Lissen To The Lady⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 78

12/1

First worthwhile piece of form over hurdles when third at Musselburgh in November, but predictably failed to back it up at same course last time. Others preferred.

Form: 894-P36

Kitty Fisher^p¹⁰³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Rachel McDonald⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 76

40/1

Won handicap chase at Hexham last season, but went with little fluency when pulled up in a similar event there on return in December. Back over hurdles now after 3 months off and can only be watched.

Form: 12355-P

Forecasts

Bellaney Gem (7/4), Tomorrow's Angel (15/8), Whoa Black Betty (4/1), Prussia With Love (4/1), Velkera (9/2), Princess Avery (15/2), Timetoroe (10/1), Lissen To The Lady (12/1), Kitty Fisher (40/1), Fyfin Patsy (50/1)

With a return to shorter likely to benefit TOMORROW'S ANGEL, she's taken to go one better than on her stable debut at Sedgefield 15 days ago. Bellaney Gem and the unexposed Princess Avery head up the opposition.
