Eureka Creek²²²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Joe Anderson| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 121| BF| C

22/1

Winning hurdler/chaser who ran up to her best despite an indifferent round of jumping when runner-up behind Fortunefavorsdbold in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, heavy) in March. Remains just 1 lb above last winning mark and she's gone well fresh previously.

Smiling Getaway²⁰⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jamie Brace⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 120| D

5/2

Winning Irish pointer who landed first 2 starts in mares' novice hurdles (on soft/heavy) last winter prior to finishing third in Grade 2 company. Disappointing in big field handicap on final start at Newbury in March but conditions look ideal on return/now chasing for a yard in fine form.

Form: 14/1130-

Alfie's Princess^t²⁰⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 119

15/8

Point winner who landed first 2 starts in mares' novice hurdles last winter and ended the campaign with an excellent second in Grade 2 handicap at Newbury (20.5f) in March. Very much appeals as the type to make an even better chaser and shortlisted on return.

Form: 8/11532-

Moviddy¹⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: Noel Williams| OR: 116| D

11/1

Dual hurdles who showed improved form to finish placed on first 3 starts over fences last winter. Progress stalled thereafter, fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Ludlow (20f) when last seen in May. Conditions will hold no fears back from 5 months off.

Form: 233P4-4

Lilting Verse^t¹⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁶⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 114| D

7/2

Listed bumper winner who opened her account over hurdles in mares' maiden at Ludlow (21.2f) last November. Exploits mixed in trio of starts thereafter but stable's runners rarely lack for fitness and she's one to note in the betting now chasing after 6 months off.

Form: 17/1454-

Fortunefavorsdbold¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Freddie Gingell| T: Christian Williams| OR: 109

50/1

Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and left previous form for this yard well behind with a brace of handicap chase wins at Huntingdon/Lingfield. Appeared to go off the boil thereafter, last of 7 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f) in May. Needs to bounce back on return.

Form: 011P7-7

Followango¹⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams| OR: 105| C

7/1

Point/bumper winner who made the frame all 5 starts over hurdles during second half of last season, second of 7 in handicap at this course (20f) 6 months ago. Goes chasing after 6 months off in what could prove a warm enough contest and the betting can guide.

Forecasts

Alfie's Princess (15/8), Smiling Getaway (5/2), Lilting Verse (7/2), Innisfree Lass (6/1), Followango (7/1), Moviddy (11/1), Eureka Creek (22/1), Fortunefavorsdbold (50/1)

ALFIE'S PRINCESS cemented the positive start she made to hurdles last season with an excellent second in a Grade 2 handicap at Newbury on her final start in March and, appealing as the type to make an even better chaser, she could be worth siding with on return. Fellow chase debutante Smiling Getaway for the red-hot Nigel Twiston-Davies stable is next best. Innisfree Lass and Moviddy are others to consider.
