Miranda²³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 145| D

7/2

Has made up into a very useful and likeable 2m hurdler for yard, winning Ludlow handicap and Doncaster Grade 2 last winter. Bold bid could be on the cards on return.

Form: 13/1415-

Molly Ollys Wishes^t²⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 145

3/1

Enjoyed a fine campaign last term, completing the hat-trick in 21f listed mares' event at Warwick in February. Creditable third in Fontwell Grade 2 final start and big run expected from the front.

Fiveandtwenty¹⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Quinlan| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 130| D

12/1

Fairly useful on the Flat and relished the switch to hurdling last season, winning her first 3 starts at Musselburgh (bare 2m). Tough tasks in April and should continue to pay her way at her level.

Form: 11137-

Her Indoors²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Adrian Heskin| T: A King| OR: 133

6/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who has made a positive start over hurdles, winning 2m Doncaster listed event and Cheltenham Grade 3 earlier this year. Better for recent run on the level and not dismissed.

Form: 22101-

Getaway Queen^p,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: D Budds| OR: 102| D

100/1

Back to winning ways on the level at Dundalk earlier this month but has shown just fair form over hurdles, albeit scoring twice. This looks too tough.

Form: 0/01-126

Marie's Rock^t²⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 135| DWS

7/2

Won first 3 starts in 2019 before a couple of underwhelming runs last term, hood/tongue tie fitted when well held behind Miranda at Doncaster when last seen. Has had another wind op ahead of return.

Form: 111/73-

Zambella¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 135| BF| D

4/1

Did really well over fences last term, winning first 3 starts in listed mares' events at up to 20f. Needs to replicate that form back over hurdles on return but no real surprise if she did so.

Forecasts

Molly Ollys Wishes (3/1), Miranda (7/2), Marie's Rock (7/2), Zambella (4/1), Her Indoors (6/1), Fiveandtwenty (12/1), Getaway Queen (100/1)

MOLLY OLLYS WISHES has bags of stamina and the classy mare is expected to take the bull by the horns dropped to 2m on her return and could be hard to catch. Miranda is a big player, while Marie's Rock, who looked very exciting in 2019, may yet fulfil her potential back following a second breathing operation. 4-y-o Her Indoors and Zambella also have persuasive claims in a hot renewal.
