Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 119| D

6/1

Still to get her head in front over fences, and only respectable fifth in handicap chase at Cheltenham (26f, good) in April. Cheekpieces on for her seasonal return and not dismissed.

Form: 3U2225-

Legends Ryde^t²⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 118| C

5/1

Fair winning hurdler but off track since pulled up in handicap at Hereford (25.5f, heavy) 8 months ago. Yard going well though, so she's not without interest now going chasing.

Form: 1/62P3P-

Lady Kk^t²⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 118| BF| C

5/2

Winner over hurdles here in April but below-par third of 5 in handicap at Taunton (3m) final start. Goes over fences on her seasonal return and no forlorn hope.

Form: 225313-

Eleanor Bob²⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 110

4/1

Fair winning hurdler who fell 13th in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, heavy) on her debut over fences 8 months ago. Sort to bounce back for good yard.

Form: 16/984F-

Lilith^t²²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 107WS

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, good third of 13 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) 7 months ago. Returns after a wind op for her chase debut and point winner is not without interest.

Form: F1/43U3-

Sister Raphael^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: C Brace| T: J L Flint| OR: 94

9/1

Made winning debut over fences at Newto Abbot before good fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Worcester (23f, soft) 21 days ago. Back chasing now and in the mix.

Form: 4PP-14

Forecasts

Lady Kk (5/2), Lilith (3/1), Eleanor Bob (4/1), Legends Ryde (5/1), Whatsdastory (6/1), Sister Raphael (9/1)

LILITH showed promise in a light campaign over hurdles and this winning pointer is fancied to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere for her in-form yard. Eleanor Bob, who has fair winning form to her name over hurdles, was showing up well until falling on her chasing bow at Hereford and is next on the list ahead of the more experienced Whatsdastory.
