Frankie Baby²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Greatrex| OR: 93

6/1

Unreliable type, and only eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 20 days ago, going in snatches. Others appeal more.

Form: P346-28

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 96

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden but he posted creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Much respected.

10/3

11/1

Getaway Lucy^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: T Scudamore| T: K Woollacott| OR: 86| CD

9/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle (9/1) over C&D 30 days ago. Up 6 lb but she remains of serious interest.

12/1

6/1, only tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, soft) 29 days ago. Big step forward is required if he's to open his account.

Bizerta (3/1), Veiled Secret (10/3), Getaway Lucy (9/2), Frankie Baby (6/1), Vouvray (8/1), Test Ride (8/1), Sweeping Rock (17/2), Mr Mcguiness (11/1), New Zealander (11/1), Le Pogues Storm (12/1), Dapa Lad (28/1), Presenting Beara (125/1)

GETAWAY LUCY showed the benefit of cheekpieces when scoring over C&D last month and is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights for that stylish success. Course-winner Sweeping Rock looks the one to chase her home ahead of in-form maiden Test Ride.
