Scored at Downpatrick last June for Henry de Bromhead. Has been well held both starts for Dan Skelton, though, and will likely be of more interest when returned to less testing ground.

7/4
Lightly-raced 8-y-o who improved further on first run since leaving Edmond Kent when second of 13 in a maiden at this course (21.2f, soft) 43 days ago. That form has been franked since and she's a key player back down in trip on handicap debut.

11/8
Showed ability in points/bumpers and built on her hurdling debut promise when fourth in a 10-runner novice at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in January. Similar form when fourth to subsequent Grade 2 winner Golden Ace at Taunton subsequently and should go well on handicap debut.

7/2
Quite a costly buy out of points and showed more than first time up under Rules when fourth of 12 in a Carlisle novice (17f, soft, 66/1) in February, needing stiffer test. Ran to a similar level at Hereford last time and should be capable of making her presence felt on handicap bow.

22/1
Lightly-raced maiden who shaped a bit better than the distance beaten suggests in first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, heavy) 58 days ago. More needed, though.

Forecasts

Brendas Asking (11/8), Queshi Bridge (7/4), Dromlac Jury (7/2), Cottie (20/1), Spyfall (22/1)

Verdict

QUESHI BRIDGE improved on first outing for Alastair Ralph when runner-up at this course last month and, with that form proving strong, she's taken to make a successful handicap bow back down in trip. Brendas Asking and Dromlac Jury are two other lightly-raced sorts who warrant respect on their handicap debuts.

  1. Queshi Bridge7/4
  2. Brendas Asking11/8
  3. Dromlac Jury7/2
