Come On Du Berlais⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Slatter⁽⁵⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 105

4/1

Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott. Placed both starts over hurdles in the UK without fully matching the pick of her Irish form (tongue tied latest) but still a major form contender after a breathing op.

Form: 2228-23

Hedera Park^h1³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Cobden| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 87

9/1

In frame twice from 4 starts in bumpers and hurdles efforts not devoid of promise. Can progress if she can cut out the errors.

Form: 34-6744

Impression Chic¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson

14/1

£26,000 buy after finish runner-up on her completed start in points (Feb 5). Looks one for the longer term on early evidence under Rules.

Form: P2-62

Man After Midnight^b1,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: Louise G Lyons| OR: 94

13/2

Modest hurdler who ran one of her better races when fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 8P-93F5

Marvel Star³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Ralph

4/1

Modest form at best in 3 bumper runs but offered something to work on sent hurdling when third of 10 in a Sligo maiden (17.8f) 33 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ms Margaret Mullins. Likely to improve, especially over this longer trip.

Form: F7-S393

Presenting Nelly^t⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 91

2/1

Fair bumper winner who shaped as if better for the run sent hurdling after lengthy absence when third of 12 in a Southwell maiden (20.4f) in June. Travelled as well as any upped to 23f when fourth here last time and open to further improvement back down in trip.

Form: 196/34

Quick Of The Night⁴²

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

16/1

Made little impact in bumpers but has offered a bit more encouragement since switched to hurdles, improving a little on debut form when fourth of 9 in course maiden (2m) 42 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 930-54

Southfield Lily^h¹⁰⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss L Bradstock⁽⁷⁾| T: M Bradstock| D

22/1

Has won multiple times in points, including on last 2 starts, but showed more temperament than ability in 3 hurdle starts back in 2021.

Form: 2/195-11

Non-Runners

Fountainspinklady¹⁴

Weight: 11-2| Age: 5

T: A J Honeyball J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Forecasts

Presenting Nelly (2/1), Come On Du Berlais (4/1), Marvel Star (4/1), Fountainspinklady (6/1), Man After Midnight (13/2), Hedera Park (9/1), Impression Chic (14/1), Quick Of The Night (16/1), Southfield Lily (22/1)

MARVEL STAR made an encouraging hurdling debut at Sligo last month and rates a likely improver now faced with a stiffer test of stamina, so she's taken to make a successful start for her new stable. Presenting Nelly will be suited by a return to this trip and can go on progressing, with Come On du Berlais also feared.
