Pulled up both starts in maiden hurdles- possibly amiss last time- and is impossible to fancy with hood/cheekpieces applied.

20/1

No impact in bumper at Market Rasen on NH debut 19 months ago and best watched on return/hurdles bow.

Ma Belle Noire^b1,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR: 97

2/5

In frame both starts in bumpers and has been placed 5 of her last 6 starts over hurdles, most recently when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft, 3/1) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Sets a clear standard.

Form: 2/5233-2

Moon Lady³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

17/2

Green in a trio of bumpers and will need to step forward to make a winning hurdles debut, though could well do so representing top yard.

Form: 8-93

Mrs Jones^b1,h1⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr G Barfoot-Saunt| T: Mrs Tracey Barfoot-Saunt

300/1

Tailed off both starts in point bumpers in late 2020 in 2 starts over hurdles.

Form: 60/PP-U

Newmill Moll²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs Stella Barclay

80/1

Well held in a Limerick bumper on Rules debut in July 2022. Looked a stayer when the down the field in a Uttoxeter novice last month and is readily opposed again.

Form: 472P-39

Night On The Town⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

9/2

Modest bumper performer would have reached the frame in not for taking a late fall on hurdles debut at Warwick in May. Backwards step when fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good, 5/1) 46 days ago, though. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 533-F5

You Say Its Over⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond

10/1

Showed more than previously when second of 7 in novice hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, soft, 33/1) 9 days ago. That was a poor contest but that form would give her frame claims here nonetheless.

Form: 36F-362

Miss Blennerhasset^p1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 75

33/1

Fair maiden on Flat but very little encouragement so far over hurdles. Cheekpieces go on.

Form: 44-9P5

Forecasts

Ma Belle Noire (2/5), Rose In The Park (15/8), Night On The Town (9/2), Moon Lady (17/2), You Say Its Over (10/1), Noonie (10/1), Jacktot (20/1), Miss Blennerhasset (33/1), Newmill Moll (80/1), Honey Davis (150/1), Mrs Jones (300/1)

There was plenty to like about ROSE IN THE PARK's successful bumper debut at Bangor and Shark Hanlon's mare is fancied to take her record under Rules to 2-2 now hurdling. Ma Belle Noire sets a clear standard of those with hurdles experience and should ensure the selection doesn't have it all her own way. You Say Its Over is a modest pick for third.
