Forged clear to land a gamble over this C&D on return and placed all 3 subsequent starts, most recently finishing a solid third off this mark at Fontwell (3¼m, heavy), despite some shoddy jumping. Needs considering.

Age: 8|  Weight: 12-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Watson| OR:  110
Looked a promising stayer in the making when winning a brace of novice hurdles in late 2022. However, hasn't kicked on since and 2 of his 3 starts over fences have resulted in heavy defeats.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-13| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR:  109| D
Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and left previous form for this yard well behind when landing a handicap chase in first-time cheekpieces at Huntingdon (23.6f, heavy). Headgear retained and, still on a potentially handy mark up 5 lb and still unexposed in this sphere, she has a major chance.

Valirann Goldt16
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Godfrey(3)| T: H Brown| OR:  87
Opened his account in a Chepstow handicap last January and, though rather in-and-out since, he looked on good terms with himself when doubling his tally in good style at Fontwell (19.5f, heavy) recently. 6 lb rise tolerable but yet to convince that he wants a stamina test such as this.

Forecasts

Valirann Gold (13/8), Haut Folin (5/2), Fortunefavorsdbold (10/3), Grove Road (13/2), Ballinsker (12/1)

Verdict

If FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD is able to build on her decisive Huntingdon success last month she will prove hard to beat off this 5 lb higher mark. C&D winner Haut Folin rates the main danger given doubts surrounding Valirann Gold on the stamina front.
