Global Famenglory^p1³³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 106

14/1

Promise in bumpers and improved on opening hurdles display when finding only a useful prospect too strong at Doncaster (16.5f). Looks ready for this trip judged on handicap debut run. Headgear on.

Form: 476-224

Miss Delighted³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 102

33/1

Dual mares' novice hurdle winner in spring 2019. Clearly had her share of issues since, offering very little in a brace of handicaps a year apart.

Form: 5211/0-9

Harry's Hottie^t1²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: James Best| T: H Whittington| OR: 100

33/1

Minor promise only in her qualifying runs but handicaps more suitable and she's now fitted with a tongue tie.

Form: 22-575

Hello Sunshine^t⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: T Scudamore| T: P R Webber| OR: 95

11/2

Uttoxeter winner from 2 lb lower in May. Pulled up next two starts but right back at that level when third returned to that venue in January.

Form: 45-1PP3

Parisian Blue⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 89

17/2

Getaway mare who offered some promise in a couple of bumpers but sloppy jumping hasn't aided her cause so far over hurdles. In excellent hands and now goes handicapping.

Form: 3-6P57

Doireann²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 88

9/2

Runner-up in a brace of handicaps during the winter but took a backward step when a laboured fifth over C&D 3 weeks ago.

Form: 33P225

Fist Pumping Time^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 85

40/1

Modest in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling when third at Hexham in December. Well held twice since ahead of this switch to handicaps.

Form: 4-04377

Backinforglory⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine| OR: 83

5/1

Hinted at promise in 2 bumpers but little to get excited about over hurdles. Handicap debut.

Form: 3-0855

Darcys Hill^t1²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy| OR: 82

66/1

Failed to pull up any trees for Gordon Elliott and she's hardly raised her game in 3 starts for present connections. Tongue tie on.

Form: 590999

Dariya⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: C Brace| T: D Brace| OR: 81

17/2

Dual hurdles scorer in 2020 but she was well out of sorts in the summer for Martin Keighley and no hint at a revival for present yard without usual headgear.

Form: 4-7P999

Tiki Fire^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 88

10/1

Fair maiden on Flat. Has shown a bit over hurdles for this yard, runner-up in a juvenile event at Hereford a month ago and she figures on a handy mark if lasting out over this far.

Form: 74362

Rio Silva²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: David England| T: O Murphy| OR: 79

33/1

Looks limited on early evidence but does now tackle a new trip for handicap debut.

Form: 4669

Bella Beau⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 76

7/2

Back to best when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton in January. 2 lb out of the weights but she's in better heart than most.

Form: 500/362

Sparkling Dawn^t⁹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: R G Hawker| OR: 73| C

25/1

Reluctant maiden hurdler for Johnny Farrelly and no surprise she offered little back from nearly 2 years off on handicap debut in December.

Form: UU798/7

Reine Fee¹

Weight: 11-12| Age: 9

T: Henry Oliver J: Non Runner

Bella Beau (7/2), Doireann (9/2), Backinforglory (5/1), Hello Sunshine (11/2), Reine Fee (8/1), Dariya (17/2), Parisian Blue (17/2), Tiki Fire (10/1), Global Famenglory (14/1), Sparkling Dawn (25/1), Rio Silva (33/1), Miss Delighted (33/1), Harry's Hottie (33/1), Fist Pumping Time (40/1), Darcys Hill (66/1)

TIKI FIRE isn't a guaranteed stayer over this trip given her Flat background but she gets a very healthy weight-for-age allowance so she's worth siding with. Parisian Blue will surely show more at some point given the yard she represents, with Global Famenglory another to note up in trip.
