That'll Do Moss²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 126| C

1/10

Point/bumper winner who made a successful start to her hurdle career over 2m here in January. Left that form behind when narrowly denied in 2½m Sandown Grade 2 since and impossible to oppose with her sights lowered.

Form: 51-1712

Hay Meadow^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

15/2

Point winner who also landed a Perth bumper in September. Promising fourth on 2m Hexham hurdle debut in December but could only manage a well-held fifth over 2½m at Musselburgh since. Early days but will need improvement to get close to the favourite.

Form: 51-1045

Inta³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Thomson

100/1

Third in an Irish point in May 2023 but not seen again until finishing seventh of 9 in a 17f Carlisle novice hurdle last month. Needs to have come on a lot in a short time.

Form: 3-7

Madame Bluebelle^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson

40/1

Bumper efforts certainly not devoid of promise but finished a distant fifth on last month's 2m Wetherby hurdle debut.

Form: 40-45

Roxby Belle

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

17/2

£48,000 purchase who is the first foal of a fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m). Worth a betting check but will need to be very useful to trouble That'll Do Moss.

Forecasts

That'll Do Moss (1/10), Hay Meadow (15/2), Roxby Belle (17/2), Madame Bluebelle (40/1), Inta (100/1)

This should be plain sailing for THAT'LL DO MOSS on the back of her near miss in a Sandown Grade 2. Hay Meadow is the obvious one to follow her home unless the betting vibes are positive surrounding Mark Walford newcomer Roxby Belle.
