Miss M^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Martin McIntyre⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 113| D

9/1

Fair handicapper on Flat. Landed her first two outings in this sphere at Southwell but she ran poorly after 7 months off in handicap over C&D 29 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 114F

7/2

4/1, opened her account on just second run over hurdles in 2m Ludlow novice (good) 21 days ago, finding plenty when pressed. Can improve further, and firmly in the mix.

Form: 45441

Tonyx¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 108

1/2

Fairly useful 1m2f scorer on the Flat who gained breakthrough win in this sphere in 2m Sedgefield novice 12 days ago. Another bold showingis on the cards.

Ingeborg Zilling^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 40

200/1

Point winner but she has offered little in 3 runs over hurdles this year, cheekpieces and tongue strap tried last time. Blinkers reached for now.

Form: 1PP6

Pretty Stranger³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

50/1

Modest form in two novice hurdles, remote third at Wincanton (2m) only three days ago; needs a big step forward.

Form: F553

Lady De Vega²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber

100/1

Modest 1m2f winner on Flat for Marco Botti but well held both runs over hurdles for new handler. Has lots to prove.

Form: 95

Monete¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: T Scudamore| T: Nick Mitchell

6/1

Fair ex-German 1m3f maiden. 33/1, matched that form on only second run over hurdles when third in novice over C&D (good) 13 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 53

Nostalgica²⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: James Davies| T: C J Down

50/1

Modest 1m4f maiden on Flat for Mark Johnston. Goes hurdling now having been bought for £2,800 in September and she faces no easy ask.

Scarlet Ruby²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J G M O'Shea

80/1

Modest 1m4f Flat winner for Roger Charlton. Well held both starts over hurdles for her new handler. Has plenty to find.

Forecasts

Tonyx (1/2), Ordered Lives (7/2), Monete (6/1), Miss M (9/1), Nostalgica (50/1), Pretty Stranger (50/1), Scarlet Ruby (80/1), Lady De Vega (100/1), Ingeborg Zilling (200/1)

ORDERED LIVES displayed a good attitude when opening her account at Ludlow last month and with more progress in the pipeline she is fancied to follow up. Tonyx also arrives on the back of a breakthrough success at Sedgefield and is feared most, although Monete could have a say too if building on her recent C&D third.
