4/1

Back on song from much-reduced mark this winter, successful over C&D/Sedgefield prior to a respectable fourth in a mares' handicap at Doncaster (16.5f) 25 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 042114

Kitty Hall²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 102

5/1

Smooth winner of a Carlisle bumper in December 2019 and definite promise in trio of hurdle starts spread over 4 months. Type to do better now handicapping again partnered by Brian Hughes.

Form: 316-622

Harrisons Promise¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 99| D

16/1

Bumper winner earlier in career who confirmed she still has something to offer on belated return to hurdling when sixth in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield 2 weeks ago. No forlorn hope now handicapping.

Form: 31589/6

Burrows Diamond¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 98| BF

5/4

Positive signs in low-grade handicaps in recent months, likely to have finished second but for a late spill over C&D prior to a good third at Carlisle (17f). Expected to be thereabouts.

Form: 7544F3

Set In Stone²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 96| BF| D

3/1

Placed twice in handicap hurdles prior to winning pair of jumpers bumpers here. Musselburgh hurdles effort 4 weeks ago was underwhelming but she may yet bounce back.

Form: 331108

Forecasts

Burrows Diamond (5/4), Set In Stone (3/1), Laskadine (4/1), Kitty Hall (5/1), Harrisons Promise (16/1)

A competitive small-field mares' event in which it may pay to side with handicap-debutante KITTY HALL. A fair bumper winner, she's shaped with definite promise in her qualifying hurdle runs and promises to do even better now handicapping again partnered by Brian Hughes. Burrows Diamond and Laskadine both arrive in form and can provide the chief threats.
