Off time: 16:50 | Winning time: 3m 45.79s

Piccadilly Lilly^h1³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 118

9/2

Is a well related, lightly-raced winner over hurdles in France, but arrives with a bit to prove after being pulled up on her British/stable debut. Tried in a hood.

Form: F1-3P

Jaunty Freyja²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: B Eckley| OR: 108| D

2/1

Off the mark on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m) under this rider in January and has run with credit on both subsequent outings, runner-up in a handicap at Exeter on latest. Big player.

Form: 540142

Triple Nickle^p¹⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Tudor| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 105

11/1

Fair winning hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fourth at Hereford 142 days ago but is liable to need this first run since.

Form: 6415-24

Heure De Gloire^b1,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 102

3/1

Won mares' hurdle on sole run in France but hasn't matched that form so far for current yard, down the field at Plumpton last time. Potentially well treated if blinkers perk her up.

Form: 9583F7

Minnie Escape^b⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Alan Johns| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 94| D

3/1

Temperamental sort who produced her best effort for a while when second here in February. Did enough to suggest she's still in form when remote third since, and drop back in trip should be no problem.

Form: 795823

Forecasts

Jaunty Freyja (2/1), Dicey Rielly (5/2), Heure De Gloire (3/1), Minnie Escape (3/1), Piccadilly Lilly (9/2), Triple Nickle (11/1)

JAUNTY FREYJA is a likeable type who arrives on the up, so she is fancied to double her tally at the likely expense of Dicey Rielly, who might have been let in lightly off 104 for her handicap debut. Minnie Escape has placed at this track on her last couple of starts, so she's another one to consider.
