Baby Sage

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

16/5

Flemensfirth mare. Dam (c133/h131), 2m-23f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2¼m) Coolgreaney. Yard had some recent success in this event so certainly worth a second look in the market.

Crazy Mary⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

40/1

Blue Bresil mare who offered little when well held over C&D on debut just under 6 weeks ago. Will need to leave that effort well behind to feature.

Form: 4

Lady Caro¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

10/1

Soldier of Fortune mare who shaped much better than the bare result when down the field over C&D 4 months ago, weakening when running green 2f out. Should be better to come with that under her belt.

Miss Chawner⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: J Tizzard

33/1

Well held in listed bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) on debut in December. Not discounted in these calmer waters.

Form: 7

Most Agreeable

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

13/2

Kayf Tara mare. Dam (c119/h103), 3m chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Finney. Of obvious interest on debut.

Form:

Only By Night⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

5/1

€13,500 3-y-o, £110,000 4-y-o, Affinisea mare. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner Preseli Star. Makes plenty of appeal on paper having been successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Nov 27).

Form: F-F1

Shiroccosmagicgem²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr J Reddington⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gallagher

50/1

Off mark in Irish points at second attempt last May but not a great deal of encouragement to be gleaned from 3 bumper runs so far, too free to last home at Hereford last month.

Form: 31887

Subtle Fortune

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley

9/1

£16,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 19f/3m hurdle winner Makin'yourmindup. Dam, lightly raced on Flat, half-sister to dam of smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Blackstairmountain. One to note on debut.

Form:

Amarbelle's Dream⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| BF

9/2

Brazen Beau filly who showed plenty to work on under a patient ride when runner-up at Wetherby (12.4f, soft) in December. Every chance of going one better here if coping with the extra distance.

Form: 2

Time In The Sun

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly

9/1

Getaway filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Lady Chuffnell, stays 2½m. Dam (h114), 2½m hurdle winner, closely related to top-class hurdler/very smart chaser (2mm-21f winner) Oscar Whisky.

Form:

Twyford's Diamond

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph

16/1

Black Sam Bellamy filly. Half-sister to modest hurdler My Lovely Boy, stayed 3m. Dam (b86), bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stays 33f) Sam's Adventure.

Forecasts

Baby Sage (16/5), Amarbelle's Dream (9/2), Only By Night (5/1), Most Agreeable (13/2), Subtle Fortune (9/1), Time In The Sun (9/1), Lady Caro (10/1), Twyford's Diamond (16/1), Charmian's Place (18/1), Cotoneaster (20/1), Miss Chawner (33/1), Crazy Mary (40/1), Shiroccosmagicgem (50/1)

Fergal O'Brien landed this corresponding event last year and he can repeat the feat this time around with AMARBELLE'S DREAM, who showed plenty to work on amidst greenness when runner-up at Wetherby in December. There are several Rules debutantes of interest in opposition however, with Irish-point winner Only By Night, Most Agreeable and Subtle Fortune appealing most in that order before market clues.
