150/1

Black Sam Bellamy mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Cultram Abbey, stays 27f. Dam French 2¼m chase winner who stayed 23f. Hard to fancy unless the market speaks in her favour.

Form:

Emma Hamilton⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: H D Daly

18/1

Queen Of Hindsight⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

11/1

€2,000 3-y-o, Doyen mare. Looked in need of greater test when third of 5 in bumper at Hexham 51 days ago. Others are more appealing.

Form: 3-

Sunday Soldier²²

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

6/4

Didn't come up to expectations for Gordon Elliott but showed more when runner-up at Southwell 22 days ago. Likely to go well again.

Form: 752-

Not Now Foxy

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Coulson

33/1

Notnowcato filly. Dam, failed to complete in points, sister to moody but fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Lively Baron. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Form:

Presently

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D & C Kubler

5/2

Time Test filly. Half-sister to 6f-7f winner House Deposit. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2m/17f winner) Sea Prince. Should have the speed for this sort of test, so she's one to be interested in.

Form:

Romilee

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: H D Daly

9/1

Scorpion filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler (stayed 2½m) Blue Heron.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

15/2

Showed fair form when in the frame in 13f bumpers at Exeter and Huntingdon in the winter but lesser effort at Wincanton 107 days ago.

Form: 240-

Whozatgirl¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Scudamore

9/1

Related to numerous winners and placed on both starts for Robyn Brisland. Longer trip no issue and she's likely to be on the premises.

Form: 23-

Forecasts

Sunday Soldier (6/4), Presently (5/2), Granny Hawkins (6/1), Tique (15/2), Whozatgirl (9/1), Romilee (9/1), Queen Of Hindsight (11/1), Late Getaway (12/1), Emma Hamilton (18/1), Not Now Foxy (33/1), Bettwyn (150/1)

PRESENTLY is bred for the Flat and the booking of Brian Hughes looks significant, so she gets the nod ahead of Sunday Soldier, who made a promising start for Fergal O'Brien at Southwell last time. Granny Hawkins is another notable newcomer.
