Becky The Boo⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 109

11/8

Bumper winner but still looks a work-in-progress over hurdles, runner-up at Doncaster before a tame effort upped to 20.5f at Newbury. Slight drop back in trip will suit and this isn't a deep race.

Form: 17-3529

Maid On The Moon²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

3/1

Showed ability in bumpers and reasonable start over hurdles when fifth at Bangor in January. Set to be placed when falling at Taunton and she should be in the mix again.

Form: 6-35F

Mattie Ross²³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T PhillipsWS

16/5

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the fourth attempt in bumpers at Newton Abbot in July. Bred along Flat lines but starts out at an ordinary level. Has had a wind op'.

Form: 9/221

Parisienne Gold^t⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: R Hobson

13/2

Tongue tied but consistent rather than progressive in bumpers. Bred to do better over hurdles so an improved showing would come as no surprise.

Form: 375

Redbridge Rosie¹³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs S J Humphrey

14/1

£22,500 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune mare. Made frame all 3 starts in Irish points

Form: 432

Forecasts

Becky The Boo (11/8), Maid On The Moon (3/1), Mattie Ross (16/5), Signal Point (5/1), Herewegohoney (11/2), Parisienne Gold (13/2), Redbridge Rosie (14/1)

Not a deep novice so SIGNAL POINT is taken to cast aside a lesser effort at Warwick and regain the winning thread. Becky The Boo has yet to come up to scratch over hurdles but she should be a factor, while Mattie Ross ought to make an impact now tackling obstacles.
