Last Of A Legend^t⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁷⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 105

3/1

Scored at Bangor in July and got back on track when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 68 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 3221P4

Blue Bikini²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 104| C

5/1

Arrives on back of a career-best win in 11-runner handicap hurdle (20/1) at Taunton (19f, good) 20 days ago. This course winner rates a player once more despite taking a 4 lb rise.

Form: 3/516-81

Symphorine²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 103

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped encouragingly when fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) 26 days ago. More to offer now back up in trip for her handicap debut. In the mix.

Form: 2034

Mistral Nell²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR: 103

11/1

Fair bumper winner. 14/1, excellent fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (16f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Back up in trip now handicapping and should progress.

Form: 187-654

Fortuna Ligna^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 103

7/4

Fair form in bumpers and she has gone with promise on both runs over hurdles, fourth of 10 in novice at Wincanton (21.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Likely to improve on her handicap bow. Shortlisted.

Form: 5-2344

Brown Bullet^h⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Page Fuller| T: A Irvine| OR: 90| CWS

8/1

Course winner but tongue strap on for 1st time when only seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle here (15.9f, soft) 56 days ago. Has since had a wind op and not ruled out off a handy-looking mark.

Form: 4-25P37

Yesnosorry²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 76

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, sixth of 8 in novice hurdle here (15.9f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Lots more needed now upped in distance and going handicapping.

Form: 8086

Forecasts

Fortuna Ligna (7/4), Last Of A Legend (3/1), Blue Bikini (5/1), Symphorine (13/2), Brown Bullet (8/1), Mistral Nell (11/1), Yesnosorry (40/1)

A few of these bring potential but BLUE BIKINI took her form up a level when scoring at Taunton last month and given she also has winning form round here she gets the nod in a very open-looking handicap. Handicap-debutante Symphorine could emerge as the chief threat ahead of the handily-weighted Brown Bullet who returns after breathing surgery.
