Burrows Diamond²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 112| C

7/2

Fairly useful 17f winner over hurdles, but yet to score in this sphere and only fourth of 5 in 2m handicap chase here 21 days ago. Up in trip with a bit to prove now.

Form: 11-26F4

Maid O'Malley²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 109| D

3/1

Still to get her head in front, but she returned with good second of 5 in 2m handicap chase here 21 days ago. Effective at this longer distance, so she's well in the mix.

Form: 37F22-2

Without Conviction³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107| D

7/4

Has taken well to fences, and she opened her account in 20f handicap chase at Hexham 31 days ago. Hiked up 10 lb but she had plenty in hand there (form been franked) and looks the one to beat.

Form: 373-831

Marta Des Mottes³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 111

16/5

Arrives in good nick, hanpered start when fifth in 2m handicap hurdle at Ludlow 33 days ago. Much respected on her chase debut stepping up in trip.

Form: 1570-25

Forecasts

Without Conviction (7/4), Maid O'Malley (3/1), Marta Des Mottes (16/5), Burrows Diamond (7/2)

WITHOUT CONVICTION gained her breakthough victory in some style at Hexham last month so looks hard to side against here with that form working out well. Maid O'Malley has yet to register a victory but is next on the list on the back of her good recent second here, with chasing-newcomer Marta Des Mottes much respected too.
