Back on form for new yard with wins in quick succession at Market Rasen and Southwell this month. 9 lb higher now bidding for the hat-trick but can still be expected to make a bold bid.

Best effort over hurdles when second in Wincanton maiden last month. Underlined his well-being with a Flat success since and his opening mark in this sphere looks manageable.

Won a 2m Plumpton handicap over Easter. Good third at Stratford next time and stamina stretched over 3m on soft at Uttoxeter since. This test more suitable and treated as if still in form.

Successful twice for James Ewart in summer of 2021. Best effort since joining this yard when third of 14 at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month. Needs to build on that now.

11/5
Different proposition fitted with a tongue tie when storming clear in the closing stages at Worcester (2m, good) on Friday. Major player under a penalty if coping with the quick turnaround.

Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 40/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (17f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Others preferred again.

7/1
Won 2 of her 5 starts on the Flat for George Boughey. Has been too headstrong over hurdles but last week's C&D fourth suggests she can make an impact from her lowly mark if piecing it all together.

One win from 28 starts. Pulled up in handicap chase at Exeter (17.5f, good to soft, 22/1) 38 days ago, dropping away quickly end of back straight. Remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles makes any difference.

Forecasts

Bluebella (11/5), Kingfast (3/1), Fort De L'Ocean (5/1), Vision Of Hope (7/1), Alkhattaaf (15/2), Embolden (12/1), For Three (18/1), Diamond Joel (28/1), Ambassador (50/1), Megalodon (66/1)

Verdict

BLUEBELLA was much improved with a tongue strap fitted at Worcester on Friday and is selected to make light of a 7 lb penalty turned out again quickly. Alkhattaaf has won on AW Flat since his improved second at Wincanton and is second choice ahead of the hat-trick seeking Kingfast.
