Jessiemac^t⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 98| D

7/2

Got back on track when fifth of 10 in 3m handicap hurdle at Wetherby 40 days ago. Much respected in her bid for a second win here off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 278-P65

World Trip^b1,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy| OR: 92

10/1

In good form until pulled up in 21f handicap hurdle at Exeter when she tried to refuse 3 out. Blinkers reached for now with something to prove, but is well handicapped.

Form: 671-26P

Winter Holiday²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Page Fuller| T: Charlotte Fuller| OR: 85

13/2

Points winner who was below par on yard bow when fourth of 7 in 23f handicap hurdle at Fakenham 25 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 34-UP14

Velkera²⁹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: B S Hughes| T: A Nicol| OR: 84

10/1

Still a maiden, and she turned in below-par fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f) when last seen out 9 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on her return.

Form: 7/07P85-

Tanora^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 81

3/1

Had wind op and tongue strap on when good second of 12 in handicap hurdle over C&D 12 days ago, faring best of those held up. Up 2 lb but not taken lightly.

Form: 590442

That's My Dubai¹⁰⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: J K Hunter| OR: 80| CD

40/1

Landed this contest 12 months ago but off since pulled up in 20f handicap at Hexham 104 days ago. Has it to prove now.

Form: 213/6-0P

Baby Jane²¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: G Boanas| OR: 80

4/1

Maiden hurdler who signed off for last term with modest sixth in 23f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter 7 months ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 8F4-526

Seapoint^b⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 79

12/1

Arrives out of sorts, visor on when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f) 42 days ago. Blinkers go back on now but others remain more persuasive.

Form: 53-340P

Yorgunnabeamunky^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Ross| OR: 68

12/1

Poor maiden hurdler. Only sixth of 14 in 23f handicap at Hexham 36 days ago, so it's easy to look elsewhere from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 6860-46

Madam Scully^t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 66

100/1

Remains a maiden after 17 runs, and well-held fifth of 7 in handicap chase here 16 days ago. Hard to fancy back over hurdles from 7 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 0467-75

Forecasts

Aazza (15/8), Tanora (3/1), Jessiemac (7/2), Baby Jane (4/1), Winter Holiday (13/2), World Trip (10/1), Velkera (10/1), Seapoint (12/1), Yorgunnabeamunky (12/1), That's My Dubai (40/1), Madam Scully (100/1)

TANORA stepped up on her previous efforts on the back of a wind op when runner-up over C&D at the start of the month and, with few miles still on the clock, is fancied to open her account for the England team. Jessiemac appeals as the pick of the rest.
