Global Harmony²¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 118

9/2

Well served by increase in trip when landing 4-runner mares' handicap at Hereford in March. Similar form when third at Ayr (24.3f) a month later. Not dismissed on chase bow with yard in red-hot form.

Docte Dina¹⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 117

8/1

AW bumper winner in February placed twice from 5 starts over hurdles. Positive start in this sphere when runner-up at Ludlow (2½m) but presumably failed to stay next time. Others make more appeal.

Form: P129-26

Precious Eleanor²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 117

5/1

Fair over hurdles, deservedly opening her account in a Ludlow mares' handicap (21.2f) in March. Ran to similar level sent chasing on reappearance 3 weeks ago and there should be more to come.

Form: 5221F-2

Fontaine Collonges¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 115| BF

5/4

Dual bumper winner who struck at the third time of asking over hurdles. Made a really promising chasing debut when fourth at Wetherby and looks the type to make major progress upped in trip. Player.

Form: 115/31-4

Oriental Cross^t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 113| D

9/1

Three hurdle wins over 2½m but struggled over fences last season. However, recorded her first win in this sphere after 7 months off at Ffos Las last month and should be competitive despite 4 lb rise.

Form: 5446P-1

Brown Bullet^h¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Page Fuller| T: A Irvine| OR: 111

40/1

Point winner who bagged her second victory over hurdles in 17f Fontwell handicap in March. Shaped as if needing the run on reappearance and looks up against it on chasing debut here.

Form: 41551-5

Roseisaroseisarose^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 101

8/1

Matched previous best over hurdles when runner-up at Chepstow a fortnight ago. Back over fences here but others preferred on balance.

Form: 433-242

Forecasts

Fontaine Collonges (5/4), Global Harmony (9/2), Precious Eleanor (5/1), Roseisaroseisarose (8/1), Docte Dina (8/1), Oriental Cross (9/1), Brown Bullet (40/1)

This can go to FONTAINE COLLONGES, who made a really promising chasing debut when fourth at Wetherby last month. With major progress a distinct possibility, she can score second time up with that effort under her belt. Precious Eleanor is feared most after her runner-up effort at Fakenham 3 weeks ago on chase debut, ahead of recent Ffos Las winner Oriental Cross.
