Heure De Gloire^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 106

7/2

Won mares' hurdle on sole run in France. Better signs for new yard when third of 12 in 3m Doncaster handicap last month and looked set for a place again when falling at the last at Ffos Las since.

Form: 2-9583F

The Real Jet⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: James Best| T: A Irvine| OR: 102

11/1

Point winner who ran her best race over hurdles when length second in C&D novice last month. More needed to defy this opening handicap mark but she is unexposed.

Form: 31-052

Ruby Yeats^p¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 97| CD

9/1

Successful at Exeter last winter but hasn't scaled the same heights since. Starting to look very well handicapped but can't be supported with much confidence.

Form: 0-48374

Wilderness⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 93

25/1

Maiden winner at Exeter (17f) last April. Couple of decent runs at the start of this season but her last 4 efforts have been disappointing.

Form: 3280P8

Set In The West²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 89

50/1

Point winner at second attempt in March but has yet to really get going over hurdles, including well held on handicap debut 3 weeks ago.

Form: P1-P6P8

Catch Me Not¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 89

6/1

Best effort in her 3 qualifying runs when fourth of 8 in novice at Bangor 17 days ago. That gives her something to build on now moving into a handicap.

Form: 5/7-P74

Rock On Rita²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 88

1/1

Winning pointer who showed improved form over hurdles when making her second handicap start a winning one at Ffos Las (2½m) 27 days ago. Has the potential for better now she's up and running.

Form: 1450-51

Chillabella^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 78

16/1

No impact in maiden/novice hurdles but she's in good hands and could fare better now handicapping,

Rock On Rita (1/1), Heure De Gloire (7/2), Catch Me Not (6/1), Ruby Yeats (9/1), The Real Jet (11/1), Chillabella (16/1), Wilderness (25/1), Set In The West (50/1)

ROCK ON RITA should have more to offer on the back of her Ffos Las win and can make light of an 8 lb rise. Heure de Gloire has performed with credit on her last 2 starts and is feared most now taking a slight drop in grade. Catch Me Not's opening mark doesn't look too severe and she may prove best of the rest.
