18/1

Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Showed some spark over fences but returns over the smaller obstacles after a poor showing at Southwell in May (sent off odds on for a thin novice). Now trained by her owner.

Form: 1/7332-3

33/1

Fairly useful form in France, winning a Fontainebleau juvenile hurdle in February and second in a chase next time. Not so good in listed fillies' juvenile handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in April and starts out for Tom Symonds after a breathing operation 7 months on.

4/9

Useful dual bumper winner who is really motoring over hurdles now, easily winning 2m Plumpton mares' maiden and Fakenham mares' handicap, overcoming unfavourable circumstances a fortnight ago. Up 6 lb and she can go on improving.

Form: 42-3211

Cup Of Coffee^t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: R T Dunne| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 112| CD

7/2

Smooth-travelling sort who comfortably landed a 2m Hexham handicap in March and shaped as if as good as ever after 7 months off in the Fakenham handicap won by Mullenbeg, falling heavily 2 out when in front (rival may have had her measure but she would have been placed at least). Must be respected.

Form: 35419-F

Rock Of Fame¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 102

8/1

Fair maiden on the Flat and may have collected on third hurdles start had she jumped the last correctly at Ffos Las in February. Not knocked about after losing ground at a couple of early flights on return at Exeter (handicap debut) 10 days ago and yard back in hot form in the meantime. Interesting.

Form: 372-8

MULLENBEG made a successful handicap debut in a messy contest at Fakenham a fortnight ago and is capable of better still. The hat-trick beckons. Cup of Coffee took a crashing fall 2 out when in front in that race and can go well if none the worse turned out quickly. Rock of Fame could have a bigger performance in her locker for Venetia Williams.
