12/1

Registered a fourth career success at Doncaster (24.4f) in February and not disgraced on 2 of her 3 starts thereafter last term, fifth of 10 in handicap at Warwick (25f) in April. Feasible to think this first start for 6 months will bring her on, however.

Resumed her progress when landing course handicap (20.6f, good to soft) in April and eked out a bit more improvement to follow up in 14-runner event at Warwick (21f, good to soft) the following month. Respected on return bidding to make it 4 wins from her last 5 starts.

15/8

Gained second success in handicaps in 4-runner C&D event in March. Disappointed on final start at Ayr (24.3f) the following month but she returns with her yard having made a very bright start to the campaign and no surprise to see a better showing back from 6 months off.

Lassue⁶²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 110

16/1

Point winner who confirmed the promise of her hurdling debut when getting off the mark in a Ludlow novice (21.2f, good to soft) 20 months ago. Lengthy absence to overcome but she remains open to improvement now handicapping. Market may prove a useful guide.

Fortuna Ligna^t¹⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Cobden| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 108| C

2/1

Fair form in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, justifying cramped odds when landing a mares' maiden here (19.5f) back in April. Unexposed granted this sort of test on return and she's fancied to feature returned to handicap company.

4/1

Opened hurdles account at Newton Abbot at the start of the month and continued the good work back over fences, awarded race in stewards' room having been carried left/bumped run-in at Ffos Las (21.5f) 16 days ago. Not discounted back over smaller obstacles.

Jasmiwa (15/8), Fortuna Ligna (2/1), Kym Eyre (4/1), Blue Bikini (15/2), Midnightreflection (12/1), Lassue (16/1)

FORTUNA LIGNA didn't need to be at her best when opening her account in maiden company here back in the spring and, having shaped as though this sort of test would suit previously, she could be the way to go on seasonal bow with Harry Cobden in the plate. Jasmiwa, on seasonal bow, for her in-form yard and Blue Bikini head the dangers.
