I Am Gonna Be^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 100

9/2

Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner but well held the last twice having had another breathing operation in-between. Down to another career-low mark.

Form: P5-P255

Fashionelle^p⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: James Best| T: F O'Brien| OR: 91

13/8

Off the mark in similar event at Worcester last week, proving a different proposition with a more positive ride bringing out the best in her. Good shout under a penalty.

Form: 533361

Faerie Cutlass^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 91

9/1

Won similar handicap at Worcester early last season but not been in same form more recently, looking held in a share of fourth when falling heavily 3 out there 3 weeks ago.

Form: 23-362F

Hot Fizzy Lizzy^t⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 90

25/1

Fair bumper winner who offered definite signs of promise over hurdles in her qualifying runs but easy to back and shaped as if amiss making her handicap debut in a first-time tongue strap at Stratford 9 weeks ago, reportedly losing her action.

Form: 263-43P

The Midwife¹³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris| OR: 88

8/1

Point winner who showed improved form under Rules when striking on her handicap bow at Market Rasen (21f) in February. Not so good since but handicapper giving her some slack.

Form: 91668-5

Regally Blonde^p1,t¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 87

12/1

Fairly useful Flat winner in Ireland but yet to match that level over hurdles, finding nothing off the bridle a couple of times in handicaps. Cheekpieces added to tongue tie now back from 5 months off.

Form: 53/6687-

Apples Moon¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: James Bowen| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 83

12/1

From the family of very smart hurdler/chaser Finian's Oscar. Little impact in bumper/3 races over hurdles. Improvement needed now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 686-7

Valentine Getaway^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 83

7/1

Couple of good placed efforts over further in the spring but well held at Worcester the last twice. Drops in trip from career-low mark as she continues to seek a first success.

Form: 23-2F78

Olivia Kate^p1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: R Patrick| T: M Sheppard| OR: 79

25/1

Couple of heavy defeats in handicap hurdles and needs to improve back up in trip now fitted with cheekpieces.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 73

18/1

Made the frame in a couple of handicaps at Southwell in summer 2023 and may have needed July Uttoxeter return back from a year off. Headgear back on.

Form: 4P9/32-6

All Blues^b,t⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: T R Gretton| OR: 73

Forecasts

Fashionelle (13/8), I Am Gonna Be (9/2), Valentine Getaway (7/1), Leave Her To Me (7/1), The Midwife (8/1), Faerie Cutlass (9/1), Apples Moon (12/1), Regally Blonde (12/1), Bella Ciao (18/1), Duchamps Art (20/1), Olivia Kate (25/1), Hot Fizzy Lizzy (25/1), Pollyonesock (33/1), All Blues (66/1)

FASHIONELLE did the job readily under a more positive ride at Worcester last week and can follow up under a penalty. Leave Her To Me and Duchamps Art are a couple of the potential dangers.
