Parikarma¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 111| D

6/5

3-time winner on Flat who confirmed hurdles debut promise when landing 7-runner mares' novice at Taunton (16.5f) 13 days ago, shaken up before 2 out and produced to lead near finish. That may not prove her limit and she's respected under a penalty.

Form: 41

Ceci Wells²⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: P R Webber

250/1

Offered little at up to 13f on the Flat and she's likely best watched now attentions switch to timber.

Form:

El Capote²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: T R Gretton

125/1

Blue Bresil mare. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (2¼m-19f winner) Adagio des Bordes. 200/1, fell early on hurdles debut at Plumpton (20.5f) 3 weeks ago. This ought to reveal more.

Form: F

Internet Biddy²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

11/2

€2,000 3-y-o, Westerner filly. Showed more than first time up on back of 7 months off when third in a Hereford bumper (2m) 3 weeks ago, her finishing effort not quite matching the way she travelled. Market should guide now hurdling.

Form: 63

Lily Grace³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| BF

33/1

Blue Bresil mare who was strong in betting but ultimately showed little when tailed off last of 6 on bumper debut at Warwick in January. Yard have had success with this family though and too soon to be writing her off ahead of this switch to hurdling.

Form: 6

Oakley Dancer²⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

17/2

Black Sam Bellamy mare. Showed ability when fourth in 10-runner Hexham bumper (16.2f) on debut back in May, just found wanting for pace latter stages. Rates the type to make her mark over hurdles and interesting what the market makes of her.

Form: 4

Sally's Girl^h1⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Smith

150/1

Offered little in trio of bumpers to date. Hood fitted for hurdles debut.

Form: 69-7

Walk Of No Shame⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| D

11/8

Placed 3 times before getting off the mark in a Warwick bumper (2m) in November. Shaped much better than bare result when fifth in 10-runner mares' novice hurdle back at that venue subsequently and highly likely she can step up on that returned to 2m.

Form: 33315

Birkie Girl²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: F Brennan

150/1

Modest maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), well held in minor event on stable debut last time.

Form:

Den The Diva¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: A Irvine

200/1

£21,000 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Pilsdon Pen. 150/1, offered little when sixteenth of 18 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f) 18 days ago.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Parikarma (6/5), Walk Of No Shame (11/8), Internet Biddy (11/2), Oakley Dancer (17/2), Lily Grace (33/1), Lady Salvador (33/1), El Capote (125/1), Sally's Girl (150/1), Birkie Girl (150/1), Den The Diva (200/1), Ceci Wells (250/1)

Successful at Warwick on her fourth start in bumpers, WALK OF NO SHAME patently shaped better than the bare result when midfield over 21f on hurdles debut at that venue over Christmas and, very much the type to improve, she gets the nod to come out on top in a race lacking depth. Taunton-scorer Parikarma heads the dangers under a penalty. Oakley Dancer and Internet Biddy may do best of the hurdling debutantes.
