Annie K^h1²⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F NichollsWS

6/1

Easy winner sole outing in Irish points but she came in only fifth of 8 in bumper at Taunton (16.5f, good) 8 months ago. Has since undergone a breathing op and she's worth another chance now going over hurdles. Hooded for 1st time.

25/1

Had wind op ahead of her debut fourth of 9 in bumper at Chepstow (16f, good to soft, 33/1) 7 months ago. Much respected on her hurdles debut.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball

100/1

Fifth of 10 in bumper (9/2) at Chepstow (16f, soft) on NH debut, doing too much too soon. Off 8 months but not discounted on her hurdles debut.

5/2

Debut winner in Wincanton bumper (15.2f) in February and she made a good start in this sphere when second of 12 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft, 13/8) 17 days ago. Open to improvement.

Form: 2/17-2

Mairis Icon¹⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 93

50/1

Has been brought along steadily over hurdles, running on late under a patient ride when third of 10 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 176 days ago. Can do better, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Form: 085-33

Mollie Brown²⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden, best run when seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good) 6 months ago. Back down in trip and market can guide on her return.

Form: 0047-

Pawapuri²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

8/15

Useful 11f Flat winner for William Haggas. Changed hands for 105,000 gns and given a considerate ride when fourth in Adonis at Kempton and Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree last spring. Remains with potential. Big shout in these calmer waters.

Form: 49-

Pip Away²⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford

125/1

Offered little on NH debut in bumper (11/1) at Chepstow (16f, soft) 8 months ago. Goes hurdling now.

Form: 6-

Selkirk Grace^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: H Morrison

Forecasts

Pawapuri (8/15), Goodtimecrew (5/2), Annie K (6/1), Dolly Delightful (25/1), Super Dawn (25/1), Lhebayeb (28/1), Selkirk Grace (40/1), Mollie Brown (40/1), Mairis Icon (50/1), C'est Bleu (80/1), Getmetothemoon (100/1), Pip Away (125/1)

PAWAPURI showed plenty of promise in good hurdling company last term and this useful Flat scorer is fancied to open her account in this sphere now her sights are lowered on her return. Goodtimecrew seems sure to build on her debut Plumpton second and is next on the list ahead of Paul Nicholls' hurdling newcomer Annie K.
