11/1

All the better for return when winning 6-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las (20.9f, good to firm) but not in same form at Worcester 12 days ago, finishing tired.

Form: 2PP-613

Havanella^h²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 96

12/1

Won 3-runner race on completed start in Irish points and, though yet to fire under Rules, it's early days for this 5-y-o and she can be expected to do better now handicapping/chasing.

Form: F10654-

Princess Midnight^t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 94| C

10/3

Better than ever this season under a change of tactics, making all at Worcester in June/July. Good second there last time and should go well again.

The Feckenham Fox³¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: James Best| T: M Young| OR: 89| D

7/1

Little impact in 3 runs between the flags/over hurdles but big improvement when making a winning chase bow at Fakenham in December. Off since but unexposed as a chaser.

Form: 7FP/771-

Dancing Dani^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 84

9/1

Modest maiden hurdler who showed much more than on chasing bow in a first-time tongue strap after 4 months off when 3 lengths second of 6 to Ho Que Oui in handicap at Ffos Las (20.9f, good to firm, 13/2) 22 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity.

Form: 5U-P662

Forecasts

Princess Midnight (10/3), Maria Magdalena (7/2), Auditoria (9/2), The Feckenham Fox (7/1), Frau Georgia (8/1), Dancing Dani (9/1), Ho Que Oui (11/1), Havanella (12/1), Dame du Soir (14/1), Lost Connections (50/1)

PRINCESS MIDNIGHT arrives at the top of her game and appeals as the most solid option with Harry Kimber taking off 5 lb. Frau Georgia is capable of going well if ready to go, while The Feckenham Fox is an interesting runner after her wide-margin win at Fakenham on chase bow when last seen in December.
