Off time: 12:30 | Winning time: 4m 55.1s

Fairfield Ferrata²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 106

4/1

Off the mark at Market Rasen in November but has disappointed on both subsequent starts and she looks vulnerable under a penalty.

Form: P5-31P5

Betty Baloo¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: B S Hughes| T: T D Easterby| OR: 107

5/4

Dual bumper winner who has hit the frame on each of her 3 hurdling starts, second over C&D on latest. Vulnerable to anything above average, though.

Form: 1-12422

Bolintlea³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| BF

15/8

Winning pointer who showed fair form in bumpers, again bumping into a nice prospect when runner-up here last month. Should take the beating up in trip for hurdling bow.

Form: 12922

Guidedbythescience¹⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: G BoanasWS

22/1

Fair form at best when reaching the frame in 3 bumpers for Barry Brennan. Disappointing start for new yard at this course 105 days ago but she's bred to make a hurdler.

Form: 34-46

Isla Diamonds^b1¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny McMenamin| T: M E Sowersby

150/1

Modest form in bumpers and pulled up both outings over hurdles, jumping poorly. Tried in blinkers.

Form: 7255PP

Nora The Xplorer²⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

10/1

Left previous form behind when third in a novice at Exeter 9 months ago and may well improve having joined an in-form yard since, so warrants consideration.

Form: 863-

Nordic Express²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: I A Duncan

200/1

Has looked limited to date.

Form: 7809

Shesupincourt³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Callum Bewley| T: R Potter

25/1

Hinted at promise when fifth of 16 in bumper at Ffos Las on debut last autumn but failed to build on it. Likely to be campaigned with handicaps in mind over hurdles.

Form: 56

Redesdale Angel²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: S Corbett

125/1

Poor form in bumpers despite being related to 4 winners on the Flat. Not an obvious type to improve for a switch to hurdling.

Form: 784

Forecasts

Betty Baloo (5/4), Bolintlea (15/8), Fairfield Ferrata (4/1), Nora The Xplorer (10/1), Guidedbythescience (22/1), Shesupincourt (25/1), Redesdale Angel (125/1), Isla Diamonds (150/1), Nordic Express (200/1)

BOLINTLEA displayed plenty of ability in bumpers and, bearing in mind her pointing background, she should be suited by a switch to hurdles and a longer trip, so she's a confident choice to open her account under Rules. Nora The Xplorer is of interest starting out for Donald McCain and Betty Baloo can't be completely discounted.
