Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 110| BF

5/2

Dual bumper winner who came good over hurdles in a 2m Catterick novice in March. Very good second of 10 in Market Rasen handicap (20.5f, good to soft) on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Respected.

Form: 22313-2

Will Victory^t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁷⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 110

11/2

Fairly useful hurdles winner in France. Failed to score for Charlie Mann and Dr Richard Newland in Britain and also never involved when fifth of 6 in a Hereford handicap hurdle on her reappearance for a new stable 32 days ago. Something to prove.

Form: 5P4/2F-5

Minelladestination²²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 109

15/2

Made a winning start to her career in a 2m Wetherby novice hurdle in February. Didn't advance her form when placed in 3 novice hurdles in the spring but she does return as an unexposed sort from a good yard.

Form: 1223-

The Player Queen²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 108| D

11/1

Point/bumper winner who built on earlier promise when doubling hurdles tally in 5-runner novice at Musselburgh in February. Stable won this race last year but she does need to leave behind a disappointing reappearance run at Wetherby 3 weeks ago.

Form: 151P9-0

East End Girl²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: L Wadham| OR: 103

12/1

Fairly useful on Flat, adding to tally on AW in August. Remote fourth on hurdle debut but left that well behind when winning a 2m Huntingdon mares' novice hurdle 24 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 41

Regal Renaissance²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| OR: 96

8/1

Caught the eye when beaten just over 10 lengths at Ludlow (2m) on second run over hurdles 4 weeks ago and appeals as a likely improver now handicapping back up in trip.

Form: 444

Spot On Soph^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 85| BF

2/1

Won a pair of 19f Catterick handicap chases last winter. Added to her good record over fences at that track when runner-up 13 days ago. Might have needed the run over hurdles on first 2 outings this term and she's of some interest off her lower mark in this sphere.

Form: 413-452

Forecasts

Spot On Soph (2/1), Betty Baloo (5/2), Will Victory (11/2), Minelladestination (15/2), Regal Renaissance (8/1), The Player Queen (11/1), East End Girl (12/1)

Henry Daly has his team in good form and REGAL RENAISSANCE strikes as one who can do better in handicaps so she's the suggestion. Spot On Soph has plenty of scope from her hurdle mark based on chase form and looks next best ahead of Betty Baloo.
