4/5
Bumper winner who made the most of a good opportunity when opening her account in this sphere in 8-runner maiden at Chepstow (19.4f, good) in March. Shaped as if still in good form in first-time cheekpieces back in handicap company at Cheltenham and of strong interest under a penalty.

£42,000 buy after winning an Irish point in November and did show a bit more than on Rules debut when fifth in a Huntingdon bumper last month. Will need to improve further now sent hurdling but she's in excellent hands.

7/4
£50,000 buy after winning sole outing in Irish points and made more impact than previously under Rules when second in 7-runner novice at Chepstow (2m) 54 days ago. Will be suited by the longer trip and open to further improvement.

Showed first form when second of 7 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 18 days ago, albeit well positioned in steadily-run race. Remains to be seen whether she's able to back that up.

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Harry Eustace (stays 2m), successful once in 2024. Held back by jumping when fifth of 8 on hurdles debut at Doncaster in March and couldn't even match that form here 2 months later.

12/1
Showed some ability but failed to match the turn of foot of the more speedily-bred winner when second in weak Stratford bumper on debut in October. Not so good in stronger race at Ascot following month but step up in trip will suit now hurdling.

Forecasts

Jena D'oudairies (4/5), Hard Dealt (7/4), Brooklyn Callin (11/1), Top Tier Gossip (12/1), Mistletoe (20/1), Plus Point (22/1), Ciakat (33/1), Arctic Blue (200/1)

Verdict

JENA D'OUDAIRIES shaped as if still in good form in an ultra-competitive handicap at Cheltenham last month and gets the nod to defy a penalty back in a novice. Hard Dealt looks the obvious threat having gone close at Chepstow on her most recent outing, though Top Tier Gossip shouldn't be overlooked either with the longer trip sure to suit.

  1. Jena D'oudairies4/5
  2. Hard Dealt7/4
  3. Top Tier Gossip12/1
