4/6
Fairly useful bumper winner who landed a brace of novice hurdles prior to facing stiff task when well held in Dawn Run at the Cheltenham Festival last time. Can bounce back in these calmer waters.

9/4
Useful hurdler for David Cottin in France. Ran a good way below that level when second on her British debut at Southwell, but it's too soon to be writing her off. Had wind op/tongue tied.

Isn't without hope on pedigree but hasn't shown enough in bumpers to be of interest on this switch to hurdling.

Showed a bit in a Taunton bumper on debut last month, but is likely to need time.

Pulled up sole start in points but has shown a fair level of ability over hurdles, including when third of 7 in handicap at Hexham (16.2f) 36 days ago.

Forecasts

Allavina (4/6), Fortunes Melody (9/4), West End Lady (6/1), September Daisy (33/1), Penny River (33/1), Minuit Ciel (50/1), Peak Of Beauty (100/1)

Verdict

FORTUNES MELODY's British debut has to go down as disappointing, but she's since undergone a wind operation, so is worth another chance in a first-time tongue tie given the level of form she showed in France. Allavina found the Dawn Run at the Cheltenham Festival too competitive, but can bounce back now returning to calmer waters.
