Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 96

18/1

40/1

Fitter for return at Taunton early last month as she got off the mark in good style at Wetherby in January 2020, the removal of the hood seemingly a positive. Fourth a week later but off since,

Form: 75P414/

Dorisa Queen⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 93

5/2

Bred to have some ability and displayed improved form at the first attempt for Dan Skelton when an easy winner at Stratford in October. 6 lb unlikely to prevent the follow up.

Form: 90P9-31

Dares To Dream²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 93

80/1

Fair bumper winner who showed ability when fifth of 9 on her hurdling debut at Huntingdon in October 2019. Restricted to just 3 runs since, showing little on each occasion.

Form: 205P9/0

Doireann^t1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 92

22/1

Form: 333

Petite Dame¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 91

22/1

Modest form in bumpers/over hurdles to this point. Too free upped to 23f on return last month and now back in trip.

Form: 55UF-69

Lady Malarkey²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 91

6/1

Ignored in the betting but offered a lot more on handicap debut fitted with a hood when second of 9 at Worcester last month. Back up in trip and has to be of interest.

Form: 0B4-872

September Daisy¹⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 88

40/1

Bred to come good and switch to handicaps should see her in a better light.

Form: 64-85

Sinndarella⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan Johns| T: S Allwood| OR: 88

33/1

Fair winner on Flat in France in 2019. Looked to be getting act together over hurdles last season but didn't achieve a great deal when third of 5 starting out for new yard in October.

Form: 5443-73

Flintara⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Bandey| OR: 88

9/1

et to get her head in front but posted another good effort when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) in June. Never going well switched to fences in October.

Form: 460-33P

Doyen Queen³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR: 87

9/2

Dual-winning Irish pointer. Just modest under Rules so far, though did finish with running left at Chepstow a month ago.

Form: 666-425

On The Quiet³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 87

25/1

Bumper winner but effectively dropping in the weights without looking ready to take advantage over hurdles.

Form: 5/573-P5

Drumlee Getaway²⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 86

17/2

Has cut little ice in 5 runs under Rules, pulled up on handicap bow following a wind op at Haydock when last seen in March. However, this point winner is one to note in the betting for new yard.

Form: 1/6670P-

Bella Beau⁷⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 80

80/1

Fashion Nova^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 75

5/1

£42,000 buy after Irish point win. Has yet to get near the level she showed in bumpers over hurdles but on the back of a breathing operation, she showed more on recent handicap bow.

Form: 35950-3

Forecasts

Dorisa Queen (5/2), Doyen Queen (9/2), Fashion Nova (5/1), Lady Malarkey (6/1), Drumlee Getaway (17/2), Flintara (9/1), Miss M (18/1), Petite Dame (22/1), Doireann (22/1), On The Quiet (25/1), Sinndarella (33/1), September Daisy (40/1), Pola Chance (40/1), Bella Beau (80/1), Dares To Dream (80/1), Darcys Hill (125/1)

DORISA QUEEN looked an improved model starting out for Dan SKelton when a ready winner at Stratford last month and she almost certainly remains ahead of her mark. Lady Malarkey bumped into an easy next-time-out scorer on her handicap debut and is second choice, with Drumlee Getaway one to monitor in the market.
