14/1

Fair maiden hurdler who failed to get home when upped to 2½m at Fakenham on final start of last season, therefore it was something of a surprise that she was tried over 2¾m on return/handicap debut at Stratford. By no means a forlorn hope now back down in trip.

Form: 4F83-4P

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 92| BF

9/4

Took a step forward when runner-up on handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) in April. Failed to fire next time but reappearance fourth on debut for this yard over 19.7f at Hereford was a decent effort and dropping back to 2m looks a good move.

Form: P652P-4

Pennsylvanie^b1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 87

3/1

Fair form over hurdles in France and left low-key debut effort for this yard behind when third in a 7-runner Fontwell handicap (19f, soft) 20 days ago. Another who may well benefit from dropping back in trip and she's one to consider in first-time blinkers.

Form: P258-93

Sawpit Sienna^p,t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 84| D

17/2

Proved at least as good as ever when successful at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) in January. Not in the same form since but she has at least slipped back to her last winning mark and reappearance spin at Worcester will have blown away the cobwebs. Cheekpieces/tongue strap refitted.

Form: 41F36-4

Bluebella^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: T Lacey| OR: 79| D

2/1

Landed a Worcester handicap in May 2023. That's her sole success from 16 career starts but she has posted several creditable efforts in defeat, too, and this 6-y-o is very much of interest here off a reduced mark.

Form: 5-P6045

Simply Gorgeous^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 76

16/1

Fair at best on Flat and bettered form showed in 3 qualifying runs when fourth of 8 on handicap debut in this sphere at Fakenham (2m, good) recently. First-time tongue strap worn that day is retained and she could have a part to play if able to build on that.

Form: 8F84

Forecasts

Bluebella (2/1), No No Fizz (9/4), Pennsylvanie (3/1), Sawpit Sienna (17/2), Jackeline (14/1), Simply Gorgeous (16/1)

A chance is taken on JACKELINE, who predictably bombed out when tried over 2¾m on her reappearance at Stratford but she is interesting judged on her latest effort over this trip at Chepstow where she was third in a decent novice event during the spring. Pennsylvanie and No No Fizz are both likely to benefit from this drop back in trip, too, and they rate the main dangers. That said, cases can also be made for the other three in this trappy contest.
