6/4

Thrived in recent months, resuming winning ways at Kempton (1m) and followed up with a bit to spare in 8-runner handicap here (8.6f) 4 weeks ago. Up 4 lb ahead of this and she's on the shortlist.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Aidan Keeley| T: E Bethell| OR: 74

7/2

Lightly-raced winner. 8/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good fifth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) in August, keeping on. Absent since but this longer trip could help.

Naomhi^h³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: A King| OR: 71

10/1

Travelled well for a long way in AW bumper on debut and offered something to work on (fair form) in finishing midfield in trio of Flat maidens at up to 12f in recent months. Could be the type to do better now attentions switch to handicaps.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 72

11/2

Silk Bird⁴⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Grace McEntee| T: M Young| OR: 69

200/1

Much improved equipped with cheekpieces when landing 10-runner Pontefract handicap (1m) in Summer 2023. Well below best at Southwell a month later (final start for Jedd O'Keeffe) and lengthy absence to overcome now starting out for new yard.

Lia Rose⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: Rae Guest| OR: 70| CD

4/1

Winner over C&D in October. Last of 8 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 10/1) 40 days ago, not quicken straight. Step back down in trip could well see her bounce back.

Bernadine^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 68

28/1

Latest win at Newcastle (1m) in October. First run since leaving James Fanshawe when seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 10 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Ever Hopefull⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 67

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (11f) 59 days ago, hampered around 2f out and not recover. Has since left William Haggas and interesting to see where she figures in the market.

Forecasts

More Than A Feelin (6/4), Silver Nightfall (5/2), Thewind Cries Mary (7/2), Lia Rose (4/1), Hello Miss Lady (11/2), Naomhi (10/1), Ever Hopefull (14/1), Bernadine (28/1), Silk Bird (200/1)

MORE THAN A FEELIN made it 3 wins from her last 4 starts on synthetics with a bit to spare over shorter here 4 weeks ago and, unexposed at this sort of trip, she looks to hold sound claims again. Silver Nightfall is another filly in flying form and she's another high on the shortlist. Thewind Cries Mary and Naomhi complete the shortlist.
