Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Tristan Durrell| T: G Nicholls| OR: 110| D

4/1

Progressive when upped to around 3¼m in handicap hurdles last summer, winning 3 on the bounce before going close in bid for the 4-timer at Newton Abbot. Below that level both starts over fences but right back on her game when a rallying third back over timber at Fontwell 3 weeks ago.

Form: 12634-3

Giovanni Change¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Midgley| T: M Walford| OR: 110

4/1

Market Rasen regular who arrives on the back of a brace of wins in 5-runner races over fences in recent weeks. Up in the weights and while since he's shown his form over hurdles but he's clearly in good order.

Form: 37321-1

Dear Ralphy^t,v⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Freddie Mitchell| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 98

10/11

Doesn't stand a great deal of racing but he's pretty consistent when he does make it to the track, finding only one 2 good on last 3 outings (visored last twice). Same mark here so seems sure to give it a good go.

Form: 1232-22

Flemen's Tipple¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Ellis Collier| T: A Irvine| OR: 84| C

5/1

Finally opened his account over fences here a year ago. More miss than hit since but back on that mark and found only one too good returned to timber at Plumpton a fortnight ago.

Form: 4358P-2

Forecasts

Dear Ralphy (10/11), Saint Bibiana (4/1), Giovanni Change (4/1), Flemen's Tipple (5/1)

DEAR RALPHY has been knocking pretty loudly on the door and a deserved success may well be forthcoming in this small-field affair. A tactical race probably wouldn't suit Saint Bibiana but she'll doubtless be keeping on and may well be the chief threat.
