Saisissante^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: James Davies| T: Noel Williams| OR: 97

10/1

Landed juvenile hurdle at Ludlow last season. Encouraging reappearance when third in Hereford handicap in November but not in the same form both outings since, doing plenty wrong at Wincanton latest.

Form: 713-356

Feet On The Ground²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 97

13/8

Could only match the form shown on qualifying runs when fourth of 11 on handicap debut at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) earlier in the month, but remains the sort to do better, not least if she settles down a bit.

Form: 428334

D Day Arvalenreeva²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: K P De Foy| OR: 97

13/2

Fair handicapper on Flat who showed more than on hurdling debut when third in 12-runner maiden at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) earlier in the month. Open to further improvement making a quick switch to handicaps but her opening mark certainly demands it.

Form: 43

Nobody's Perfect¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 89

11/10

Proved a different proposition to on her handicap debut with her usual hood left off when winning 10-runner event at Exeter (18.5f, good to soft, 15/2) 19 days ago, well on top finish. Hit with a 6 lb rise but still unexposed.

Forecasts

Nobody's Perfect (11/10), Feet On The Ground (13/8), Mistress Emma (2/1), D Day Arvalenreeva (13/2), Saisissante (10/1)

FEET ON THE GROUND failed to improve sent handicapping at Wincanton earlier in the month, but she showed up well enough to think she may do another day, particularly if she settles down a bit, so is given another chance for a yard that can seemingly do little wrong at present. It's fair to assume it's not been plain sailing with Mistress Emma training-wise, but she's a well-bred sort in a top stable and could easily have more to offer, with recent winner Nobody's Perfect also feared.
