Fairly useful hurdler who posted a creditable fourth of 9 in 19.4f handicap at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago, weakening run-in. In the mix.

Landed a Hereford maiden in February and ran well returned to handicap company when second there (16.2f) on yard debut in October. Not disgraced back on the Flat subsequently but this step up in trip isn't sure to suit.

Ran right up to her best when runner-up back from 6 months off at Fakenham (2m, soft) in November. Far from disgraced when sixth from 4 lb higher at Huntingdon but underperformed at Doncaster last time. Up in trip and Bryony Frost back in the saddle.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR:  111
Winning Irish pointer who displayed willing attitude when making successful hurdles debut at Warwick. Disappointed in better company at Cheltenham but quickly resumed winning ways back in calmer waters at Catterick last time. Into handicaps now and opening mark looks fair.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-11| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR:  103| C
Produced a career best to narrowly score at Ffos Las in April and backed that up when 5 lengths second over 21f at Warwick. Disappointing both subsequent starts, though, including after 5 months off at Exeter in November.

Bumper winner in May 2021 and ran well when in the frame on 3 of her first 4 starts over hurdles. However, ended last season with a below-par effort and went backwards from her reappearance when only fourth of 9 at Catterick last time. Bounce back called for.

Forecasts

Notnowlinda (15/8), Ucanaver (11/4), Sashenka (9/2), Malaita (8/1), Could Be Trouble (10/1), Sorbet (12/1), Jersey Lady (14/1)

Verdict

NOTNOWLINDA's opening mark looks perfectly fair so she's selected to make it 3 from 4 over hurdles on her handicap debut. Ucanaver posted a good second back over hurdles at Southwell in December and is feared most.
