10/11
6-y-o who was placed in Irish points and confirmed she's a promising sort when taking 15-runner mares' novice on hurdles bow at Ludlow (21f) in December. One to be interested in with progress expected

Timeform
Fair stayer on the Flat who justified market support to land a mares' maiden hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f) in November, drawing clear. Never figured at listed level since but this less demanding.
|
Timeform
Lord Du Sud mare who makes appeal on paper and not without promise when fifth in a Ludlow bumper (15.7f) in December, running green. Promises to do better with that under her belt now hurdling.

9/4
Good winner of a Market Rasen bumper (16.5f) on debut in September. Not in same form at Chepstow but back on track when third in a listed contest here last time. Looks a bright hurdles prospect.

Well held only start in bumpers and similarly offered little in a mares' novice hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f) in December. Can only be watched.
|
Timeform
Getaway mare who offered some promise in a couple of bumpers but no real short-term encouragement to glean from last month's Wincanton hurdles bow, pulled up entering straight. This will reveal more.

100/1 and hooded, last of 13 in listed bumper here on NH debut in December. Makes hurdles debut with lots more required.

Hinted at ability in a Fakenham bumper on debut but has looked like more of a handicap type so far over hurdles. Unlikely to feature.

Forecasts

Holly Hartingo (10/11), Hillfinch (9/4), Russian Rumour (5/1), Parisian Blue (11/1), Galante De Romay (20/1), Stoppers Sista (66/1), The Sumba Island (125/1), Ivetwiggedit (200/1)

Verdict

A winner of a Market Rasen bumper in September, HILLFINCH bettered that form when third in a listed event over shorter here in December, every chance 2f out and running on. The type to make her mark over hurdles, she gets the narrow vote to come out on top. Holly Hartingo, who scored on hurdles bow at Ludlow, is a big threat though, as is Russian Rumour returned to calmer waters.

  1. HILLFINCH
  2. HOLLY HARTINGO (IRE)
  3. RUSSIAN RUMOUR (IRE)
