Off time: 16:20 | Winning time: 4m 13.20s

Lady Kluck⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

16/5

£75,000 point recruit who made it second time lucky under Rules in Sedgefield bumper in December. That was a weak race but she's in top hands and there could easily be more to come.

Form: 131

Baby Thyme

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

10/3

No Risk At All mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair 2¾m hurdle winner Baby Sage and fair 2m hurdle winner Windsurfer. Tom Cannon seemingly prefers her to Sharp Glance. Interesting newcomer.

Form:

Crystal Days^t⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

33/1

12/1, shaped a bit better than seventh of 11 suggests on her Hereford debut in December, fading after meeting some trouble on the home turn.

Form: 7

Game On Babe²⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

9/1

Six-race maiden in points but this well-bred mare (half-sister to top-class chaser Somersby) has joined a good stable for her Rules career.

Form: P4444-4

Karlita Desbois³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley

14/1

Showed some ability when 8 lengths sixth of 13 on her Uttoxeter debut (heavy) 5 weeks ago, leading until 3f out.

Form: 6

La Zoubida⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards

5/2

11/4, 8½ lengths second to subsequent listed winner Kingston Queen on Sedgefield bumper (good to soft) on Boxing Day. Should go well.

Form: 2

Sure To Please⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams

50/1

66/1, no short-term promise when behind Sharp Glance on her Ludlow debut in December.

Form: 8

Pepper Queen⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly

66/1

20/1, green and well beaten behind Sharp Glance in Ludlow bumper in December.

Form: 0

Shotgun Shirley

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: G Sheehan| T: L Wadham

4/1

Soldier of Fortune half-sister to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Martello Sky and useful chaser Brief Ambition. Yard has had success with this family, including in bumpers, and she'd enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in her favour.

Forecasts

La Zoubida (5/2), Lady Kluck (16/5), Baby Thyme (10/3), Shotgun Shirley (4/1), Sharp Glance (6/1), Game On Babe (9/1), Karlita Desbois (14/1), Crystal Days (33/1), Sure To Please (50/1), Pepper Queen (66/1)

LA ZOUBIDA bumped into last month's C&D listed winner Kingston Queen when second on her Sedgefield debut over Christmas and is taken to go one better now. Alan King pair Sharp Glance and Baby Thyme, a newcomer who is seemingly preferred by stable jockey Tom Cannon, head the dangers along with Sedgefield-scorer Lady Kluck.
