7/2

Promising first effort in bumper and overcame inexperience to make a winning hurdling debut at Leicester (20.5f) at the beginning of December. Proved a let-down under a penalty at Lingfield 9 weeks later but may see her race out better in a first-time tongue strap after a break.

Form: 4-13

5/4

Kayf Tara mare who won a bumper last March and made it third time lucky over hurdles over C&D in February, well on top finish. Advanced her form with cheekpieces applied when runner-up in a well-contested handicap at Newbury (20.5f) last month. Big player in these calmer waters.

Form: 1-2312

11/1

Left her hurdling debut form behind to get off the mark in 7-runner novice at this course (19.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago, driven out. That was a weak affair though, so looks vulnerable under a penalty.

Form: 8-51

Moviddy^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: Noel Williams| OR: 118

13/8

Irish point winner who made it second time lucky over hurdles when quickening clear in 8-runner novice at Lingfield (19.5f) in February. Improved again when a close second at Doncaster but ran below form tried in a tongue strap in a competitive handicap at Newbury last time. Can bounce back.

Form: 31-3129

Artemis Sky^h1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: M Young

100/1

Poor maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) and well beaten all 3 starts for current yard in that sphere. Hooded for hurdling debut and easily passed over.

Flora Paget²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead

125/1

Well held in bumpers and has achieved little both starts over hurdles.

Form: 69-67

Nancy Till¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young

80/1

Promising in Irish points but well held completed start over hurdles faced with an inadequate test.

Black Sam Bellamy mare. Half-sister to 1m-11f winner Persun. Dam (c117/h109) 2m-2¼m hurdle/chase winner. Market for clues.

Blue Beach (5/4), Moviddy (13/8), Artemis Kimbo (7/2), Martalindy (6/1), Just Sophie (11/1), Park End Sunrise (50/1), Stargazer Belle (66/1), Nancy Till (80/1), Artemis Sky (100/1), Flora Paget (125/1)

MOVIDDY finished a fair way behind Blue Beach in a competitive handicap at Newbury last month, but she's much better off on these terms and is well worth another chance having created a good impression prior to that. Artemis Kimbo can prove best of the rest if a first-time tongue strap has a positive effect.
