Coco Mademoiselle²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 121| D

4/9

Winning Irish pointer who landed the odds in Lingfield novice hurdle in November and backed up that effort under a penalty when second of 11 in 2m4f Huntingdon novice. Handicap debut at Ascot best excused and she arrives with the best form.

Form: 11-212P

Roccos Inspiration^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Lewis Saunders⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 110| BF

10/3

Proved expensive to follow over hurdles in Ireland but made a winning start for Olly Murphy in 8-runner novice hurdle at Uttoxeter in January. Not disgraced when second under a penalty at Sedgefield next time and should be competitive once more.

Form: 243212

Gilwen Rosie⁴⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

150/1

Well held in a Wincanton bumper on debut 14 months ago and makes no appeal switched to hurdling/upped in trip.

Laughing Lady

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: Nicky Martin

20/1

£10,000 4-y-o, Poet's Voice mare. Dam (h112), 2m hurdle winner, also 1¼m winner on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Mystery Drama. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Spring Gale⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly

13/2

Midfield in a couple of bumpers last spring and better effort over hurdles when third in a novice at Warwick 55 days ago. That still leaves her with a fair bit to find, however.

Form: 87-63

Forecasts

Coco Mademoiselle (4/9), Roccos Inspiration (10/3), Spring Gale (13/2), Oneandahalfdegrees (8/1), Macmolly (12/1), Laughing Lady (20/1), Gilwen Rosie (150/1)

COCO MADEMOISELLE was better than the result at Ascot last time and is likely to be back on her game, which should be enough for her to get the better of Roccos Inspiration, the other previous winner in the field. Spring Gale looks the best of the others.
