Dontyawantme⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

9/4

Dead-heated in a point and got off the mark at Huntingdon in January. Progressed again when third in listed bumper at Sandown (16f, soft) 40 days ago so she rates a player.

Form: 1-313

Inion Tiogair⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris

16/1

Left Margaret Mullins after debut second before making all in Ludlow bumper in January. Reportedly got struck into when thirteenth in bumper at Ascot 61 days ago so shouldn't be written off.

Form: 210

Leave Her To Me^t1²⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Hogan| T: F O'Brien

25/1

Built on debut promise when landing 7-runner bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good). Off 8 months since though and fitted with a tongue strap with more needed on her return.

Form: 91

Bobbi's Beauty⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: M Keighley

10/1

Mahler mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler Minella Warrior and fairly useful hurdler Harefield. Successful in an Irish point in February so she's hugely respected, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Form: U1

Flight Of Freedom⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| BF

9/1

Fair form shown when second in Ludlow bumper and sixth of 16 in similar company at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 70 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 26

Lily Luna⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

13/2

Soldier of Fortune mare who made an encouraging start when fourth of 18 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, good to soft) 77 days ago. Can take a step forward now.

Form: 4

Micks Jet¹⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Joe Williamson| T: P A Kirby

66/1

£26,000 5-y-o, Jet Away mare. Dam unraced half-sister to smart chaser (stayed 3m) Wise Old Owl. Runner-up in an Irish point in January so she needs considering.

Form: F2

Mighty Moth⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: Noel Williams

10/3

Much improved from her debut fifth when third of 14 in bumper at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft, 40/1) 61 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 53

Quick Of The Night⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts

125/1

Only modest form shown in two bumpers, third of 5 on latter occasion at Doncaster (50/1) 47 days ago. Needs a big step forward.

Form: 93

Quite The Getaway⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert| T: R Bevis

28/1

Still looked green but left her debut form behind when second of 12 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good to soft, 80/1) 55 days ago. Can progress further.

Form: 92

Whispering Gold⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

50/1

Modest form shown in a pair of bumpers, ninth of 14 at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) on latter occasion. More is required.

Form: 49

Whisperonthewind^h⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley

22/1

Shirocco filly who posted a promising debut second in bumper at Warwick but too free when only 11th at Huntingdon in February. Worth another chance with hood back on.

Form: 20

Mary³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

9/2

Yeats filly who made a promising start when clear second of 8 in bumper (22/1) at Warwick (16f, soft) on NH debut 39 days ago. Solid claims.

Form: 2

Milan Cyclone¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Luke Scott| T: T H Weston

66/1

Milan filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler Monbeg Park. Dam unraced sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (winner up to 23f) Hidden Cyclone. Refused in a point 12 days ago so market can guide.

Form: R

Walkinthecotswolds

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin

80/1

€15,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park filly. Half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Crebilly and modest hurdler Lady of The Sea. Betting should prove a good indicator.

Forecasts

Dontyawantme (9/4), Mighty Moth (10/3), El Elefante (4/1), Mary (9/2), Flying Fortune (11/2), Lily Luna (13/2), Mellificent (15/2), Flight Of Freedom (9/1), Bobbi's Beauty (10/1), Charmian's Place (12/1), Blue Baloo (14/1), Inion Tiogair (16/1), Whisperonthewind (22/1), Leave Her To Me (25/1), Quite The Getaway (28/1), Whispering Gold (50/1), Micks Jet (66/1), Milan Cyclone (66/1), Walkinthecotswolds (80/1), Quick Of The Night (125/1)

Lots with chances but the vote goes to DONTYAWANTME who just holds the edge on form and also looked to have more to offer when third in a Sandown listed bumper last time. Mary seems sure to build on her debut Warwick second and rates the chief threat, although Irish point winner Bobbi's Beauty and Musselburgh-scorer El Elefante both need considering too along with the re-hooded Whisperonthewind.
