9/4

Doctor Dino mare showed promise when placed all 3 starts in bumpers before easily making a winning start over hurdles in 3-runner novice at Ludlow (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago. Capable of better. The one to beat.

50/1

£42,000 buy after winning an Irish point in November and hinted at promise sent hurdling when fifth of 8 in 2m4f Worcester novice 12 days ago. In excellent hands and should take a step forward here.

Form: 105-5

Fresh As A Daisy¹¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| BF

4/1

Related to a useful sort in bumpers and showed ability herself in that shere, particularly when runner-up at Wincanton in January. Very much one to consider now going hurdling after a break.

150/1

Telescope mare has offered little in 3 starts, most recently when sixth of 7 in 2m novice hurdle at Bangor 8 days ago. Hard to warm to.

6/1

€48,000 3-y-o, £5,000 4-y-o, Doctor Dino mare. Got off mark in points in March so she's an interesting hurdling newcomer.

Crystal Spring¹⁹

11/8

16/1, made an encouraging start over hurdles when a clear second of 5 in novice at Fakenham (20f, good) 19 days ago. She can do better so must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Crystal Spring (11/8), Service Minimum (9/4), Fresh As A Daisy (4/1), Tennessee Orange (6/1), Brooklyn Callin (50/1), Just Tell Robyn (150/1)

Dan Skelton's SERVICE MINIMUM scored impressively on her recent hurdling bow at Ludlow and is taken to make light of a 6 lb penalty. Crystal Spring showed some promise when runner-up at Fakenham on her hurdling debut and should have a say along with Alan King's points winner Tennessee Orange who is worth a market check on her first go in this sphere.
