3/1
Opened account under Rules when taking 5-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f, soft) and defied an 8 lb rise at Uttoxeter 9 days ago. Likely player back in a novice despite double penalty.

Point winner and easily best effort under Rules when third in maiden at Market Rasen on debut for this yard last month. More need again to win this, though.

5/2
Point winner who landed a Warwick bumper last season. Left hurdle debut behind to win 3-runner novice at Fontwell in good style and needs considering under a penalty with step up in trip a plus.

16/1
Fair maiden on Flat for Mick Channon and promising hurdling debut after nearly 3 years off when second in Fontwell novice, edged out late on. Not in same form next time and tongue strap now fitted.

15/8
Fair hurdler. 9/1, career best when winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 9 days ago, forging clear. Might be flattered by winning margin but form is backed up by the timefigure.

Forecasts

Just A Whim (15/8), Blue Sans (5/2), Drumlee Watar (3/1), Echo Du Large (8/1), Supreme Yeats (10/1), Accordini (16/1), Dock Of The Bay (16/1), Alpine Rock (50/1)

Verdict

BLUE SANS left her hurdling debut form behind when going one better at Fontwell and is taken to defy a penalty with the step up in trip sure to suit. Drumlee Watar continues to progress so rates a big threat under a double penalty, while Just A Whim can't be ignored after her wide-margin win at Uttoxeter.

  1. BLUE SANS (IRE)
  2. DRUMLEE WATAR (IRE)
  3. JUST A WHIM
