Isthebaropen^t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 120| D

3/1

On a roll, adding to her tally in 3-runner Aintree mares' handicap hurdle over extended 3m last month, probably benefiting more from the emphasis on speed than her rivals. Better than bare result over C&D since (rider almost took the wrong course). Respected.

Form: 4118-14

Puffin Bay⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 111

7/1

Was proving consistent over hurdles but needs to shrug off a below-par run at Huntingdon and possibly better over shorter.

Blue Sans^p,t²⁹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 109| BF| D

4/1

Point/bumper winner who, fitted with first-time cheekpieces, doubled her tally over hurdles in a 7-runner Worcester handicap (2½m) in September. Pulled up following month and off since. Worth another chance for in-form yard.

Maria Magdalena³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 108

4/1

Returned from 6 months off in good form, runner-up at Warwick and Southwell. Winless since 2019, but she's on a workable mark and has to be taken seriously.

Form: 5336-22

Latino Fling¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 108| D

9/4

Has done well for this yard, notching up a third success in mares' handicap hurdle at Sedgefield over this trip in May. Shaped as if still in good form next 2 starts, third of 8 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good, 11/4) 17 days ago.

Form: 313-133

Forecasts

Latino Fling (9/4), Isthebaropen (3/1), Maria Magdalena (4/1), Blue Sans (4/1), Puffin Bay (7/1), Lost In Montmartre (8/1)

BLUE SANS has been off the track since being pulled up in October, but she was on the upgrade prior to that so is worth another chance with her yard in excellent form. Maria Magdalena can fill the runner-up spot again.
