Do It Like A Dude^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling

11/4

Point winner who showed ability for new yard when third of 5 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good, 11/2) on NH debut 29 days ago. Entitled to build on that.

Form: 1/3

Jour D'orage²⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland

6/1

Offered little in a trio of starts for Simon Earle last year and is likely best watched on debut for new yard here.

Form: 958-

Reina Del Mar^t⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: David Noonan| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 115

4/6

Fairly useful performer on Flat. Not at same level in 5 starts over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien last season but has since joined new yard and stands out on form.

Form: 25885-

Scene Stealer⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: A Gibbons

25/1

No real impact in a couple of starts over hurdles and not seen since failing to complete in novice at Warwick in December.

Form: F2/4PP4-

Sure To Please¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

12/1

Little to shout about in 3 bumpers and been a similar story in both hurdles outings. Tries a longer trip now.

Form: 8678-3

Forecasts

Reina Del Mar (4/6), Do It Like A Dude (11/4), Jour D'orage (6/1), Sure To Please (12/1), Scene Stealer (25/1)

REINA DEL MAR is the clear pick on form and looks to have been found a good opportunity to open her account over hurdles. Do It Like A Dude looks the likeliest danger.
