Lunar Discovery²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| D

9/2

Pether's Moon mare who was well found in the market and put up an impressive display in a Hexham bumper on debut back in May. Bold showing anticipated under a penalty on reappearance.

Form: 1

Belleloise^t1²⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer

28/1

Similar form when fifth on first couple of starts in bumpers last winter but failed to improve after 8 weeks off when tailed off at Newcastle. Has since switched yards and a tongue tie goes on.

Form: 550-

Bowland Belle

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies

11/2

Black Sam Bellamy mare. Sister to useful chaser Sammy Bill and fair hurdler Samarayia. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/modest chaser (stayed 2½m) Samapour. Worth a market check.

Form:

For Gina¹⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham

9/2

Showed some promise when seventh in a Newbury bumper on debut in February but not at that level 10 weeks later when down the field at Southwell. May well build on her debut promise at the second time of asking.

Form: 7-7

Heavenly Clouds

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley

85/40

Milan mare. Closely related to useful hurdler/top-class chaser Many Clouds and smart hurdler/chaser The Tullow Tank. Dam (b68) lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (2½m-3¼m winner) Back On Line.

Form:

Mercian Omen

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy

9/2

Black Sam Bellamy filly. Closely related to useful hurdler/smart chaser Pendra, stayed 3¼m,. Dam (c137/h133) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 3m). Check betting.

Form:

Miss Solitaire²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

125/1

Valirann filly who offered little when tailed off in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, soft, 33/1) on debut last month. Will need to leave that effort well behind to feature.

Form: 0

Our Laura B¹⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

12/1

Learned from initial experience when runner-up at Sedgefield in May and improved further when filling that same position at Kelso 6 months ago. May well have a say in proceedings.

Form: 7-22

Thorsda¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: T Davidson

100/1

Out of a bumper winner but failed to offer much encouragement in a pair of similar events back in May.

Form: 57

Forecasts

Dysart Enos (2/1), Heavenly Clouds (85/40), Lunar Discovery (9/2), Mercian Omen (9/2), For Gina (9/2), Bowland Belle (11/2), Our Laura B (12/1), Nulli Secundus (16/1), Another Park (20/1), Belleloise (28/1), Thorsda (100/1), Miss Solitaire (125/1)

LUNAR DISCOVERY was quite impressive when making a winning debut at Hexham 6 months ago so she's fancied to be in the mix today carrying a penalty, with Our Laura B and For Gina another couple to consider.
