Maisie Too^h⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: D B Hurst⁽⁷⁾| T: S Corbett

16/1

Modest form in trio of bumpers to date, plugging on for fourth on return from 5 months off over 2m at Kelso in November. Feasible to think she'll find a couple too good again.

Form: 344

Theirshegoes

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Thomson

7/2

Court Cave mare. Dam unraced half-sister to top-class hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France (stays 25f) Galop Marin and bumper winner/useful hurdler (2m winner) Gaelic Arc. Yard 1-5 with their bumper runners so far this term and market should guide here.

Villainess⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: Jamie Snowden

5/2

Yeats filly. Sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Sabrina. 2/1, made an encouraging start when second in 7-runner Newbury bumper (16.3f) in November and no surprise to see her take a step forward from that here.

Form: 2

125/1

Mukhadram filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Montenay. Dam, 1¼m winner. Showed little when last of 10 on debut in a Wetherby bumper (2m) 12 months ago. Passed over.

Forecasts

Ici La Reine (2/1), Villainess (5/2), Theirshegoes (7/2), Femme Patronne (9/2), Maisie Too (16/1), Woogrey (22/1), Owzthat (33/1), Wheres The Crumpet (125/1), Garswood Lady (125/1)

FEMME PATRONNE showed definite promise amidst greenness when rallying to dead-heat for second on debut in a Huntingdon bumper 2 months ago and she could be worth siding with to build on that up in trip. Newbury runner-up Villainess rates the chief threat, whilst Ici La Reine and Theirshegoes are a couple of newcomers to note in the opener.
