1/1

Finally came good when seeing off the reopposing Ginger du Val by 6 lengths in a Bangor maiden last month. Should give another good account.

Form: 665-441

Amelia's Dance^h¹⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Stan Sheppard| T: R Walford| OR: 94

15/2

Claims on her second in a Uttoxeter handicap last November. Not at the same level in 3 subsequent starts last season but perhaps a break will have done her some good.

Form: 292370-

Ginger Du Val^h,t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 96

15/8

Two bumper wins in France. Back on track over hurdles for this yard lately, finishing 6 lengths second to reopposing She's A Novelty at Bangor latest. Shouldn't be much between them on revised terms.

Form: 37-2232

Little Jessture^t1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones| T: Ben Clarke| CD

8/1

C&D bumper winner for Paul George last summer but the form is modest. Well held on the Flat this summer ahead of this switch to hurdles for a new stable. Tongue tied first time.

Form: 13-

Roque Angel^h²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 75

33/1

Just modest form at best in bumpers and hasn't offered much in 3 hurdles, finishing well behind She's A Novelty and stablemate Ginger du Val at Bangor latest.

Form: 77-55P4

Gaelic Belle⁴²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: David Noonan| T: C Honour

150/1

Tailed off in a Flat maiden for Rod Millman last summer so can't make a case for now hurdling.

Form:

Ince²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

22/1

Fair form on Flat in France. Off 12 months, 38 lengths sixth of 12 to She's A Novelty (Ginger du Val second) on Bangor hurdle debut last month and it's hard to see her turning the tables on that pair.

Form: 6

Saxon Queen¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

150/1

Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles this summer and looks more one for the longer term.

Form: 90

Forecasts

She's A Novelty (1/1), Ginger Du Val (15/8), Amelia's Dance (15/2), Little Jessture (8/1), Ince (22/1), Roque Angel (33/1), Saxon Queen (150/1), Gaelic Belle (150/1)

Perhaps SHE'S A NOVELTY can kick on now she's finally got her head in front so she's taken to confirm latest Bangor superiority over Ginger du Val, despite having to concede her 7 lb on this occasion. Amelia's Dance looks best of the rest.
