30/100

Bumper winner made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles at Ludlow 21 days ago. The one to beat under a penalty.

Form: 2P232-1

Just Deegeeteebee⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

50/1

Unplaced in bumpers for Dai Burchell and fared no better sent hurdling for this yard at Newton Abbot in September. Opposable.

Form: 500-8

Urban Soldier²⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

9/2

€28,000 Soldier of Fortune gelding from a top yard. Raced alone on inside when down the field in bumper here in March and is likely capable of better now hurdling.

Form: 8-

Sans Of Gold²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁵⁾| T: J D Frost

125/1

Unplaced completed start in points and hasn't offered much in 2 runs over different trips hurdling so far. Others preferred.

Form: 5-P47

Ooh Betty^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Ben Jones| T: Ben Clarke

11/2

Point winner travelled kindly when fourth in 8-runner novice at Stratford (22f) on Rules debut a fortnight ago. Didn't find much for pressure, which tempers enthusiasm, but she looks open to improvement.

Form: 7-14

Forecasts

I Spy A Diva (30/100), Urban Soldier (9/2), Ooh Betty (11/2), Just Deegeeteebee (50/1), Dannystory (125/1), Sans Of Gold (125/1), Earth Spirit (250/1)

I SPY A DIVA shouldn't need to improve to follow up from her recent Ludlow success and will take the beating here. Ooh Betty is open to improvement after a reasonably promising run at Stratford and is preferred to Urban Soldier for second.
