9/2
French import who cashed in on a reduced mark over hurdles at Hereford (2m4f) in April. Best of her three runs over fences when excellent fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, heavy) 20 days ago. Form has been franked so big shout.

5/1
Off 10 months before showing promise when sixth in Wetherby novice hurdle (19.7f) last November. However, failed to build on that there next time and off 11 months ahead of his chase bow (has also had a wind op).

10/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped as if needing the run after 9 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, soft, 10/3) 12 days ago. Makes chase debut in first-time cheekpieces and one to consider.

Got off the mark over hurdles in 4-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) 28 days ago. Tongue tied and much respected now going over fences.

Completed a hat-trick over hurdles in 2020/21 for Johnny Farrelly but hasn't really scaled the same heights since. Has something to prove now belatedly going chasing.

Forecasts

Tom Cody (13/8), Aristobulus (3/1), Kalpaga (9/2), Great Ballinboris (5/1), Ffree Pedro (10/1), Sehayli (22/1)

Verdict

KALPAGA turned in much her best effort over fences when fourth at Ludlow last time and with that form working out well she looks very much the way to go. Recent Newcastle scorer Tom Cody rates the obvious threat to Tim Vaughan's mare, although fencing newcomers Ffree Pedro and Aristobulus also need factoring in, especially if the market vibes are positive.

  1. Kalpaga9/2
  2. Tom Cody13/8
  3. Ffree Pedro10/1
