1/3

Won first 2 starts this term before good second in Sandown handicap. Pulled too hard in Tolworth and did too much too soon in Betfair Hurdle last time. This is considerably easier.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

9/1

Showed plenty to work on when fifth in a Newbury bumper 12 months ago but yet to kick on in bumper/mares novice hurdles so far this campaign. It may be handicaps are more her bag later on.

300/1

Fashion Nova^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

14/1

£42,000 buy after winning Irish point. Clear promise in bumpers, including when fifth in Market Rasen listed event, but underwhelming both starts over hurdles.

Form: 41-3595

Fine By Her¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: M D Grant| T: J S Smith

Form: 0-0F

I Will Follow Her^h1¹⁰²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley

125/1

Schiaparelli mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler My Khaleesi. Dam (c124/h118) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 2¾m). Runner-up point debut, pulled up next 2 starts. Wears hood.

Form: 2/P-P

Lady Wolf²²

Fair on the Flat (all wins on AW), but well held completed start over hurdles.

Form: P7

Shaymin^t⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan Johns| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

50/1

Has hinted at ability in a Sedgefield bumper/Catterick maiden hurdle, but is most likely one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 38

Wilderness¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

7/2

Fairly useful middle-distance Flat winner for Johnny Murtagh. Improved on her hurdling debut form when third in 15.3f novice at Wincanton 2 weeks ago and could do better again judged on Flat form.

Form: 83

Forecasts

Galice Macalo (1/3), Wilderness (7/2), Colours Of My Life (9/1), Fashion Nova (14/1), Alfida (22/1), Power Home (28/1), Shaymin (50/1), I Will Follow Her (125/1), Aide Memoire (125/1), Doctor Dotty (300/1), Fine By Her (300/1), Lady Wolf (300/1), Aluna Quartz (300/1), New Clare (300/1)

An excellent opportunity for the useful GALICE MACALO to get back on track having done too much too soon in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury last time. Wilderness looks the obvious one to follow the selection home.
