4/6

Fair maiden on the Flat. Struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in C&D juvenile 25 days ago. First-time blinkers replace the cheekpieces he wore last time.

Form: 51

Flintstone³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

13/8

Fair maiden on the Flat for Richard Hannon and ought to be up to making an impact at this sort of level over hurdles.

Form:

Ickytoo⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: J G Portman

25/1

Poor form on the Flat so she'll need to improve for a switch to hurdles to play a part.

Form:

Intriguing Lady^h⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 81

12/1

Modest maiden for Charlie & Mark Johnston. Hasn't achieved much in 3 outings over hurdles for new yard, finishing a distant third to the reopposing Mucuna last time.

Forecasts

Mucuna (2/5), Mutara (4/6), Flintstone (13/8), Intriguing Lady (12/1), Ickytoo (25/1)

MUCUNA has been a revelation over hurdles and should be hard to beat yet again. Last month's C&D scorer Mutara can chase her home unless ther betting vibes are strong surrounding Nigel Twiston-Davies hurdle newcomer Flintstone.
