11/8

C&D winner who bounced back to best when close second of 6 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (20.9f, good to soft) 77 days ago. Remains fairly treated and should go well again.

Form: F2-1962

Leave My Alone^t⁷²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 82| BF| C

11/4

Course winner. Bit below form when second on Newton Abbot return in October but better expected here.

Form: 6P/212-2

Stephanie Sunshine^t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 79

11/2

Still looking for first success but posted creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) last month and remains low mileage in this sphere.

Form: 7F5364

Wildkatze^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Lee Edwards| T: T R Gretton| OR: 77

14/1

Modest form in a hurdle run when trained in France and hasn't offered much in 4 chase starts for this stable, well held on Plumpton return last month.

Form: 8/44P-9

Furia D'Oudairies¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 76

5/1

Modest maiden hurdler who took a step back in the right direction when third in novice handicap chase at Leicester 17 days ago. That was only her second chase start and this longer trip may suit.

Form: 430-753

Message To Martha^p1⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 59

20/1

Has offered little over hurdles and remains to be seen if switch to chasing/handicapping brings about improvement. 5 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 2/04-PP

Forecasts

Barden Bella (11/8), Leave My Alone (11/4), Furia D'Oudairies (5/1), Stephanie Sunshine (11/2), Wildkatze (14/1), Message To Martha (20/1)

This can go to BARDEN BELLA, who was a good second at Ffos Las last time and is only 1 lb higher now. Stephanie Sunshine could provide the biggest threat.
