Off time: 15:36 | Winning time: 5m 8.10s

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 108

5/4

Twelve-race maiden is pretty much exposed by now but has reached the frame on 6 occasions, including on first 2 starts for this yard, and she sets the standard in a winnable contest.

18/1

Looked a longer-term prospect in bumpers for Gordon Elliott and on hurdles debut for this yard at Sedgefield last month. Probably capable of better with step up in trip to suit.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick| T: M Scudamore

11/1

Encouraging start to career when second in Taunton bumper on debut and was disadvantaged by slow pace when mid-field at Plumpton next time. MOre suitable test here on hurdles debut.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 97

13/2

Failed to complete on first 3 hurdles starts (saddle slipped second occasion) but confirmed her ability when second at Warwick last month. Jumping still needs work but she rates a live player.

Roderic O'Connor mare. Half-sister to 2 winners on Flat, including 6f-7f winner Gold Club. Doesn't strike as obvious debut winner.

Peerless Beauty²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 106

15/8

Fair bumper performer and showed aptitude for hurdling when second to unbeaten rival at Taunton on debut. Had wind-op and not unduly punished in Cheltenham listed event last time, so makes appeal back in maiden company.

Southfield Megan¹⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland

16/1

From a good family but showed no in bumpers/novice hurdles for Mark Bradstock. Did win a point in January, however, and may be best watched for new yard.

Forecasts

Call The Fairies (5/4), Peerless Beauty (15/8), Missfit (13/2), Queenhill (10/1), Hey Frankie (11/1), Southfield Megan (16/1), Chestnut Rose (18/1), Macey Milan (50/1), Nowyouvebinandunit (125/1)

PEERLESS BEAUTY was unlucky to bump into the unbeaten Lady Adare at Taunton on debut and can make the most of calmer waters here after being highly tried at Cheltenham last time, Call The Fairies is exposed but her form ranks highly in this grade, whilst Missfit remains with room to improve further, especially if jumping with more accuracy.
