14/1
Bumper winner in 2022 and came good at the second time of asking over hurdles back from an absence at Uttoxeter in July. Just third under a penalty against a pair of above-average Flat performers at Stratford but handicaps back over this longer trip could be the way to go with her.

7/4
Modest form in 3 novice events and while she took a step forward when runner-up on handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) in April, it would be something of an understatement to say that she failed to reproduce that level of form next time. Debut for new yard.

7/1
Winner of 2½m Worcester handicap last September and looked set to strike over the same C&D prior to falling at the final flight on penultimate start. Drop back to 2m counted against her last time and she's by no means discounted.

11/1
Consistent mare who scored here last October and shaped well in handicaps at Wincanton and Huntingdon during the spring. Latest effort wasn't one of her better ones, though, a few of these are more appealing.

9/1
Produced by far her best effort to date when collared close home by an unexposed tival in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) in June. Absent since but she's nevertheless of strong interest switched to hurdles following a break.

There have been positives to glean from her 3 starts over hurdles and, with improvement anticipated now that moves up in trip for this handicap debut.

Winning Irish pointer but yet to shine under Rules and she will need to take a significant forward in order to emerge on top here.

40/1
Fair bumper winner but she hasn't shown much over hurdles to date and big step forward needed now that she ventures down the handicap route.

Down the field in a handful of starts on the Flat for Andrew Balding and it's been a similar scenario over hurdles so far. Major improvement required on handicap debut in this sphere.

Forecasts

No No Fizz (7/4), Von Hallers (3/1), My Bobby's Lass (6/1), Hedera Park (7/1), Pacific (9/1), Kentford Mallard (11/1), Leave Her To Me (14/1), Ask Her Out (40/1), Charlotte Square (200/1)

Verdict

It's probably best to draw line through HEDERA PARK's latest effort at Worcester and, if she reproduces the form she showed on her penultimate start, the 5-y-o will have every chance here. Pacific upped her game at Stratford and she will be a bif threat if able to build on that, while My Bobby's Lass is also shortlisted.
