15/2
Point/hurdles winner who produced a career best when off the mark over fences in a novice at Exeter on return, making most to beat Pure Bliss by 9 lengths. One to consider back in a handicap.

Dual point winner and successful over hurdles last term. Made good start to chase career when landing 4-runner Fontwell handicap (3¼m) before left with too much to do at Haydock. Remains of interest.

10/1
Fair winning hurdler who showed improved form to land a handicap chase on debut over fences at Ffos Las on return in October. Good second in face of a stiff task at Ascot since and not taken lightly.

5/2
Progressive mare who enhanced good strike rate for this yard when off the mark over fences at Warwick (20f) in November. Let down by jumping at Cheltenham since but worth another chance.

Forecasts

Fontaine Collonges (5/2), Timeless Beauty (10/3), Wouldubewell (13/2), Belle De Manech (13/2), Deja Vue (15/2), Pure Bliss (8/1), Legends Ryde (10/1), Crossgalesfamegame (20/1)

Verdict

This looks a very competitive handicap chase for novice mares. The progressive WOULDUBEWELL was left with too much to do when third at Haydock 3 weeks ago so rates a big player off a similar mark. Fontaine Collonges is another who's well worth another chance with conditions likely to be ideal, while Belle de Manech and Deja Vue also need considering for the in-form Anthony Honeyball.
