Miss Milano¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 103

7/2

Promising start when third at Ayr in November but has been underwhelming subsequently, falling at Sedgefield. Back markedly in trip for handicap debut and in good hands.

Form: 3643F

Timetoroe²¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 103| BF| D

10/3

Mares' novice winner (16.6f) for Archie Watson in 2020. Sound enough start for Donald McCain last year but he was disappointing when last seen in August and off since but yard is in great form.

Form: 54-3334

Annies Regatta⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: W Coltherd| OR: 84

11/4

Achieved little in bumpers and similar story to date over hurdles so far, for all she did travel with a bit more purpose at Sedgefield last month.

Form: 7-45874

Bowderek³⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Callum Bewley| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 84

7/1

Second in 2m Kelso novice hurdle in October 2020 but mixed bag has followed subsequently. Off a year so she's entitled to need this.

Form: U2P468-

Summer Lightening^b1⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: B S Hughes| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 78

5/1

Landed back-to-back handicap hurdles at Catterick in early 2020. Not matched that since though should strip fitter with Wetherby return behind him and as headgear back on.

Form: 40-49P8

Kitty Hall^p,t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: B Butterworth| OR: 73| CD

10/1

On a lengthy losing run but has dropped a long way in the weights and turned in best effort of the season when third over C&D 17 days ago. 4 lb out of the weights but still needs considering.

Form: UP0673

Forecasts

Annies Regatta (11/4), Timetoroe (10/3), Miss Milano (7/2), Summer Lightening (5/1), Bowderek (7/1), Kitty Hall (10/1), Sisu (33/1)

Not a strong handicap so TIMETOROE could be the answer back from a break for his in-form yard. Miss Milano failed to complete 12 days ago but could easily get back on track down in trip, with Summer Lightening another to consider with headgear back on.
