Dazzling Glory¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 120| BF

5/2

Has taken well to chasing and got off the mark in clear-cut fashion at Fontwell. Good second in 3m1f handicap at Hereford 15 days ago so she's in the mix once more off an unchanged mark.

Form: F-32132

Fairfield Ferrata²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 112| D

5/2

Dual 2m4f hurdles winner who made an encouraging start over fences after 7 months off when third of 5 in novice at Worcester (20f) 20 days ago. Goes into handicaps on a good mark so she's a big player.

Form: P5221-3

My Silver Lining²²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 108

13/8

Impressed when forging clear to land 2m Lingfield novice hurdle in February and not discredited when fourth at Exeter following month. This step up in trip should suit and she's much respected now going chasing.

Form: 2414-

Howdilyoudo^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 96

6/1

Fair hurdles/chase winner at her best but she has disappointed on her last two runs in this sphere at Worcester and Ffos Las. Has something to prove now.

Form: 17P635

Forecasts

My Silver Lining (13/8), Fairfield Ferrata (5/2), Dazzling Glory (5/2), Howdilyoudo (6/1)

FAIRFIELD FERRATA looks to have got in lightly for her chasing handicap debut so is fancied to build on her Worcester third and open her account at the chief expense of Dan Skelton's in-form Dazzling Glory. Fencing-newcomer My Silver Lining warrants plenty of respect too though in an intriguing mares' handicap.
