Analiese¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley

50/1, needed the experience when 23 lengths fourth of 6 in a Doncaster listed juvenile hurdle on debut 18 days ago. May do better.

Form: 4

Christian Bruce⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

11/1

Fair form in maidens on Flat (should be suited by at least 1½m) for William Haggas. sold for 22,000 gns in December. Her new stable traditionally does well in these races.

Form:

Graecia^h1¹²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon

10/1

Fairly useful 7f winner on the Flat for John Butler. Changed hands for 18,000 gns in October. Her stamina for hurdling isn't assured but should have enough ability to make her presence felt. Wears a first-time hood.

Form:

L'inoubliable⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: K Bishop

200/1

150/1 when pulled up on last week's Taunton debut.

Form: P

La Cantate⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: C Boultbee-Brooks

16/1

No Risk At All filly who ran to only a poor level when sixth in Newbury bumper on debut in December. Not an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles after that.

Form: 6

Lara Kaleo

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick| T: C Boultbee-Brooks

28/1

€16,500 Doctor Dino filly. Half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Kaleosun. Dam 11f bumper winner in France. Bred to have a future but a watching brief is the percentage call this time.

Form:

Nini Star¹³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

10/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for David Menuisier. Can play a prominent role if taking to her new discipline.

Form:

Play It Again^h1⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: T Andrieux| T: N George & A Zetterholm

8/13

French raider who sets a clear standard on her runner-up effort on 2m Cagnes-Sur-Mer hurdle debut in December. Hard to beat with improvement likely.

Form: 2

Urban Hydrangea⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

125/1

Down the field in varied events on Flat for John Gallagher and beaten a long way in 2 juvenile hurdles for Fergal O'Brien before Christmas.

Form: 65

White Coco^b1²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies

200/1

Poor maiden handicapper on Flat for David Simcock and no promise on recent Warwick hurdle debut. Blinkered first time.

Form: 0

Whiteley Way²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: G Brown

100/1

Fair maiden on the Flat, including third in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 23 days ago on her first outing for Gary Brown. Stamina might be an issue now hurdling.

Form:

Forecasts

Play It Again (8/13), Analiese (4/1), Irisante (8/1), Graecia (10/1), Nini Star (10/1), Christian Bruce (11/1), La Cantate (16/1), Lara Kaleo (28/1), Whiteley Way (100/1), Urban Hydrangea (125/1), L'inoubliable (200/1), White Coco (200/1)

This looks a good chance for PLAY IT AGAIN to build on her promising debut second in France before Christmas. Nini Star showed a decent level of ability on the Flat and may prove best of the rest having switched to David Pipe. Graecia was also good enough on the Flat to think she could make an impact in a race like this if her stamina holds.
