Barrabool¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

1/3

Just modest form in bumpers despite finishing placed twice but she has transferred to an up-and-coming yard ahead of this hurdles debut.

Form: 35-2

Basilette²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| D

9/4

Doyen filly who only had to run to a modest level to make a winning bumper debut last summer. Similar form and less-than-straightforward maiden on Flat since. Stuck at it for fourth of 9 on hurdles debut last month.

Form: 1-4

Crazy Maisie³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: M Goldstein| T: M R Hoad

33/1

Fair handicapper at best on the Flat but not at that level in recent times and was well held previous hurdles outing in 2023.

Forecasts

Barrabool (1/3), Metkayina (10/11), Blue Las (2/1), Basilette (9/4), Crazy Maisie (33/1)

This should rest between bumper-winners METKAYINA and Blue Las with marginal preference for the former given there's slightly more substance to her form in that sphere.
