Blue Moon Lady

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: R L Llewellyn

Harthope²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: T R George

9/2

From a good jumping family and offered something to work on when second of 3 in fillies' junior hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) on debut last month. Can show the benefit of that first outing to open her account.

Form: 2

Highbury Hill⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: N J Hawke

33/1

Held back by inexperience when well-beaten eighth of 11 in fillies' junior bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) on debut in October. Needs to leave that effort well behind as she goes hurdling.

Form: 8

Ninna Collina²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

7/1

Half-sister to numerous winners, but shaped as if better for the experience when last of 3 in fillies' junior hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) on her first start, ¾ length behind Harthope. Entitled to progress so she could be thereabouts.

Form: 3

Pink Breeze

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

5/4

Gentlewave filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Pink Legend and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Eleanor Bob, stays 3¼m. From a family that the yard knows well and she's one to note on debut.

Forecasts

Pink Breeze (5/4), Blue Moon Lady (7/2), Harthope (9/2), Ninna Collina (7/1), Blossom Tea (15/2), Highbury Hill (33/1)

A half-sister to 3 winners, HARTHOPE showed encouragement on debut when second of 3 at Fakenham last month and she can build on that effort to go one better. She can confirm the placings with Ninna Collina from when the pair met 29 days ago, while Pink Breeze is respected first time up with her yard continuing to go well.
