Minniemum²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| OR: 104| BF

16/5

Tends to take a strong hold but ran her best race when second of 14 over 3m at Doncaster in December. Looked all set to go one better when unseating her rider at the last at Catterick subsequently and seems highly likely to give another good account.

Form: 53-532U

Tequila Blaze⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 104| D

11/2

Fair handicap hurdler who has slipped in the weights and possibly needed the run when seventh of 14 in a handicap at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft) 48 days ago.

Form: 5P076-7

Brianna Rose^p⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Harry Atkins⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 103| C| D

15/2

Consistent hurdler who initially took well to chasing, scoring in a match at Uttoxeter before runner-up in a handicap at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good to soft) in July. However, poor efforts both starts since and it remains to be seen whether a return to hurdling sparks a revival.

Form: 34-12PP

Do You Think⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 97

10/1

Posted best effort since her winning chase debut at Hereford in November 2022 when hitting the crossbar at that course on her seasonal reappearance. Looked held when unseating back there in December but has a lower mark to work with back over hurdles.

Form: 323-U2B

Clararose⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 96

7/2

Runner-up on her final start in bumpers last season and encouraging third on hurdling debut. Yet to build on that but could prove a different proposition upped markedly in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 602-358

Shesupincourt¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: R Potter| OR: 91| D

10/1

Dual winner at up to 23.6f this term but produced a laboured effort when pulled up at Leicester 10 days ago. Bounce back called for.

Form: 3-51U1P

Fortuitous Favour^t⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 90

8/1

Bumper winner but comfortably held all 4 outings over hurdles, including in a first-time tongue strap on handicap debut at Fontwell 52 days ago. Something to prove.

Form: 1/03-884

Sinurita^p,t⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 84

16/1

Modest maiden hurdler who failed to build on the promise of last run when failing to beat a rival in 10-runner handicap at Taunton (19f, good to soft, 10/1) 64 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 052P40

Harkangel²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Luke Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: T R Gretton| OR: 73

8/1

Some promise when fourth of 14 in a 21f Sedgefield handicap on reappearance in November but comfortably held at Ffos Las and Doncaster since. Has work to do.

Form: 346-467

Forecasts

Minniemum (16/5), Clararose (7/2), Tequila Blaze (11/2), Brianna Rose (15/2), Fortuitous Favour (8/1), Ya Know Yaseff (8/1), Harkangel (8/1), Shesupincourt (10/1), Do You Think (10/1), Little Talks (12/1), Sinurita (16/1)

MINNIEMUM had the race at her mercy when unseating her rider at the final flight at Catterick last time and can gain compensation. Handicap-debutante Clararose is very interesting upped markedly in trip given her earlier promise. Tequila Blaze could also figure off her reduced mark.
