Golden Emblem^t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120| BF

Much improved for the switch to handicaps/fitting of a tongue tie, winning at Market Rasen and Wincanton. Fair fifth of 10 at Sandown latest. Another 4 lb higher now but still respected.

Form: 561215

La Domaniale⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 118

9/1

Successful in juvenile hurdle on sole start in France. Off 14 months, shaped well on yard debut in November and perhaps heavy ground didn't suit when disappointing on handicap bow. Remain unexposed.

Form: 1-35

Hunny Moon²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 115

10/3

Fair bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles in a weak affair at Wetherby (21f) last month. Creditable fourth in Mares' Final at Newbury since. Ought to be in mix.

Form: 322214

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 115| D

6/1

Fair hurdler who build on her good second at Kelso when finally coming good in Sedgefield novice over this trip 12 days ago. More on plate back in handicaps but does have Brian Hughes up.

Form: 624421

Southern Girl¹³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112

20/1

Graces Order^t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 110

Lady Chuffnell⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 109

15/2

Improved since handicapping, winning at Plumpton (2m) and even better form when narrowly denied at Carlisle (17f) last month (likely to have won but for blundering last). Big player.

Form: 66-6212

Dolly Dancer^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 106| D

12/1

Form: 532550

Sophie Fatale^p1,t³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 104

22/1

Yet to get her head in front, squandering a soft opportunity in Hexham maiden hurdle in December. Disappointing in handicaps twice since and need quicker ground and cheekpieces to make difference.

Form: 2-3U257

Headscarf Lil²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 100

16/1

In the frame all starts in bumpers and got off the mark switched to hurdling in a weak affair at Musselburgh (2m) in November. Remote fourth at Carlisle since but retains potential for handicaps.

Form: 234-214

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 99

22/1

Scored at Sedgefield in November and back to form when second at Fakenham last month. Another who has it in her to be competitive here.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: James Bowen| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 96

11/1

Forecasts

Hunny Moon (10/3), Bellaney Gem (6/1), Golden Emblem (7/1), Lady Chuffnell (15/2), Graces Order (17/2), La Domaniale (9/1), Grey Girly (11/1), Dolly Dancer (12/1), Calliope (14/1), Headscarf Lil (16/1), Pammi (16/1), Southern Girl (20/1), Lostnfound (22/1), Sophie Fatale (22/1)

Several to consider in what looks a very open mares' race. LADY CHUFFNELL has gone the right way in handicaps and is selected in the hope that she's just as effective back up in trip. Pammi was successful off this mark here last summer so it'd be no surprise to see her go well. Golden Emblem is also on the shortlist, while La Domaniale needs monitoring in the betting in only her second handicap.
