10/3
Modest maiden hurdler who returned to something like the form shown on stable debut when second in a thin race at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) 20 days ago, travelling best but headed run-in after wandering/hanging right. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Fair maiden hurdler in France, placed twice in 2023/24. Has left Nick Littmoden and should be up to making presence felt on UK/stable debut.

Forecasts

Rockola Vogue (11/10), Brave Jen (10/3), Mary Stanford (5/1), See A Stride (9/1), Sky Luna (11/1), My Lady Elektra (14/1), Jenny Mcfly (40/1), Giveupyerauldsins (66/1), Kall Me Emma (200/1), Glen Affric (300/1)

Verdict

Those with hurdling experience don't set the bar all that high so it could pay to side with MARY STANFORD, a well-bred mare who changed hands for £42,000 after winning her sole start in Irish points in cosy fashion. Rockola Vougue is entitled to improve on her third at Worcester last month, with My Lady Elektra also worthy of respect based on her French form.
