18/1
Made her first completed start over hurdles a successful one at Lingfield in December 2022 but has failed to complete on her last 5 outings, including over fences. This a big drop in class at least.

Bumper winner in 2022 for Gordon Elliott. Failed to win from 10 attempts over hurdles but not disgraced sent chasing went third at Ludlow last month so not taken lightly with headgear now applied.

4/1
Made the frame all 3 starts over hurdles and positive start in this sphere when third in a 7-runner Fakenham handicap (21.2f, heavy) in December. Showed promise before her departure under an inefficient ride here since so worth another chance.

Made the frame in all 5 of her handicap hurdle runs and no reason why she shouldn't take to this sphere (placed in points in Ireland). Respected.

Bumper/hurdles winner but well below that level in 7 starts over fences so far. Assessor continues to relinquish his grip but percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Poor maiden hurdler who offered little sent chasing when a remote fourth of six at Plumpton in January. Hard to make a case for.

14/1
Point winner who was placed in a series of handicap hurdles at around 2½m in 2022 and all the better for belated return when runner-up here (18.2f) on chase bow. Not in same form at Wincanton since but ground might have been too testing.

Winning pointer but has achieved little so far under Rules and looks up against it from out of the weights.

Forecasts

Cooleenymore (10/3), Our Nel (4/1), Poet's Reflection (9/2), Come On Du Berlais (11/2), Annie Wicks (8/1), Firefly Lane (12/1), Sevenofus (14/1), Nathan Walker (16/1), Jane Du Berlais (18/1), Penny Mallow (25/1), Lady Pacifico (40/1)

Verdict

OUR NEL is worth another chance to build on her chase debut promise having been given an inefficient ride before falling here 7 weeks ago. Come On Du Berlais made a decent start to her chase career when third at Ludlow so is another to consider, while Sevenofus can bounce back returned to better ground.
