Cut The Mustard^p,t1²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 130| D

3/1

Useful chaser at her best but below-par third in 20f Lingfield handicap in second-time cheekpieces 27 days ago. Needs to bounce back in first-time tongue strap.

Form: 74-P633

Arian^p,t⁶³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 125| D

10/3

Improved model for this yard, notching third success over fences at Newton Abbot in October. Rare poor effort when pulled up at Exeter in December, but sort to bounce back after a break here.

Form: F35-12P

Grand Turina¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Hugh Nugent⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 120| D

3/1

Landed back-to-back veterans' handicaps at Lingfield and Warwick in December. Posted another good effort when third at Carlisle (20.9f) 10 days ago, so she's a player off the same mark.

Form: P-F1153

Une De La Seniere^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 116| CD

5/2

Three-time winner over hurdles but she failed to build on her chasing debut fourth at Southwell when modest third in 20f Ludlow handicap. More is required now.

Form: 2-31443

Reine Fee^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: David Noonan| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 110

11/1

Fair winning chaser for Shane Crawley but she offered little on her stable debut when pulled up in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f 21 days ago. Has something to prove.

Form: F2528P

Forecasts

Une De La Seniere (5/2), Cut The Mustard (3/1), Grand Turina (3/1), Arian (10/3), Reine Fee (11/1)

GRAND TURINA is enjoying a very good season for Venetia Williams and fancied to bag a third win of the campaign in a handicap where most arrive with a question mark against them. Arian is weighted to go close if shrugging off a lesser effort at Exeter after a break and is next on the list.
