Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

16/1

Had wind op and tongue strap on before sixth of 11 in bumper at Warwick (16f, soft) 34 days ago. Needs to improve again if she's to figure.

7/2

Winning pointer who (6/5) shaped really well when third of 11 in bumper at Warwick (16f, soft) 34 days ago. Form has been franked, so she rates a big player.

Blue Collar Glory^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

16/1

€8,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory filly. Sister to fairly useful hurdler Bon Retour, and half-sister to 3 other winners. Wears hood. Appeals on pedigree so newcomer is worth a second look.

Form:

Marmalaid

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

6/4

Martaline filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to high-class hurdler (Champion Hurdle winner) Katchit . Leading yard is always highly respected in this sphere so she rates an interesting newcomer.

Marmalaid (6/4), Game On For Glory (5/2), Get A Tonic (7/2), Corey's Courage (12/1), Blue Collar Glory (16/1), Dreaming Of Glory (16/1)

Nicky Henderson's MARMALAID makes plenty of appeal on paper so is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of Get A Tonic, who made a very pleasing start when third on her debut at Warwick. Game On For Glory also shaped encouragingly there when runner-up on her respective debut and is much respected after a break.
