Amma Lord^t1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 60

200/1

Well held in bumper/novice hurdles so hard to see him featuring here.

Form: 094P

Big Stuart¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Miss L C Siddall

200/1

Lightly raced and looks very limited.

Form: 56/56

Shentri^t¹²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: David England| T: D Skelton| OR: 119WS

17/2

Chase/hurdle winner in France. Has disappointed on both British outings, however, so needs to get back on track following a 4-month break.

Form: 415125

Tara Mill^p,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: S England| OR: 122

9/2

Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who produced easily his best effort since joining this yard when 6 lengths second to Tast The Fear at Hexham last time. Should go well again, but not sure to reverse that form.

Form: 453/37-2

A Day In Donostia¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby

80/1

Nathaniel gelding who didn't show much when last in a novice at Market Rasen 16 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 6

Bellaney Gem¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 95| BF

5/4

Fair hurdler. Who was a good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f, good to soft, 7/4) 18 days ago. Expected to be bang there once again.

Form: 4-62442

Howzat Hiris²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond

40/1

Minimal promise in bumpers so far, looking more of a long-term project.

Form: 645

Forecasts

Bellaney Gem (5/4), Taste The Fear (15/8), Tara Mill (9/2), Shentri (17/2), Howzat Hiris (40/1), A Day In Donostia (80/1), Big Stuart (200/1), Amma Lord (200/1)

BELLANEY GEM was narrowly denied a first success having been gambled on at Kelso last time but, back in novice company, she's fancied to go one better. Taste The Fear and Tara Mille, who filled the first two places at Hexham recently, look the main dangers.
