Martalindy¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| CD

5/1

Poor in bumpers last season. Brought down on hurdle debut in May. Sprung a 50/1 surprise when upsetting a long odds-on shot in a C&D mares' maiden 5 months later. Hard to know the worth of that form.

Form: 359-B1

Maridadi²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King

6/4

Bumper winner/ fair Flat performer for Hughie Morrison. Made an encouraging start over hurdles for new stable when second at Warwick (2m, good) 24 days ago. Up in trip. The one to beat with improvement on the cards.

Form: 31/00-2

Sedge Wren¹⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds

1/1

Promise when third in bumpers here and at Cheltenham in the spring. Bred to make a hurdler.

Form: 33-

Forecasts

Sedge Wren (1/1), Maridadi (6/4), Martalindy (5/1)

MARIDADI was a promising second on her recent hurdle debut at Warwick and this looks a good chance for her to go one better, perhaps at the expense of Sedge Wren who showed plenty of promise in a couple of bumper runs earlier in the year.
