7/4
Won 8-runner handicap at Chester (15.9f, firm, 11/2) 10 days ago. Lightly raced in this sphere and reverts on a handy-looking mark so merits serious consideration.

7/4
3 wins from 6 runs this season. 5/2, career best when winning 5-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 19 days ago with a bit in hand. A likely player once more.

Forecasts

Hope Rising (7/4), It's All About You (7/4), Leloopa (9/2), Inside Man (6/1), West To The Bridge (25/1)

Verdict

Jennie Candlish's lightly-raced hurdler IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU resumes in this sphere on the back of a Flat success at Chester so looks the way to go off a lenient mark. Hope Rising rates the main danger on the back of her recent C&D victory.

  1. It's All About You7/4
  2. Hope Rising7/4
  3. Inside Man6/1
