Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: T Cooper| D

9/4

Runner-up in a well-contested bumper at Punchestown in April and went one better in another big field at Listowel in September. That level puts her right in the mix.

Form: 42-1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

11/2

First foal, dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chase winner (stayed 21f) Davids Charm (by Milan). Won sole start in Irish points in March and has since transferred to a powerful stable.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

13/2

£40,000 3-y-o, £180,000 5-y-o, Blue Bresil mare. Dam (h105), 2¼m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (15f-17f winner) Fair Loch. Won sole start in points last winter and maintained unbeaten record in 8-runner bumper at Aintree 3 weeks ago, just holding on.

Eremenko¹⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| D

5/1

Well-related Walk In The Park filly who made a winning start in 8-runner bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good) in May, showing a good turn of foot last 1f. Stays in this code and a likely type for her excellent yard.

Form: 1

Kittys Glance²⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| BF

9/1

Passing Glance filly. Dam (c117/h116), 21f-3m hurdle winner, sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) West Cork. Well backed and shaped with encouragement when third of 12 starting out at Huntingdon in March. That race worked out quite well.

Form: 3-

Masked Mistress⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: J & S Best| D

22/1

Masked Marvel filly who built on her Newton Abbot debut third when proving too strong for 13 rivals over 2m at Uttoxeter in July. Defied a penalty in a weak race at Plumpton since and this demands a lot more in her hat-trick quest.

Form: 311

Midnight Musical¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss A B O'Connor| T: A McCann

33/1

£18,000 4-y-o, Tirwanako filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdle winner/chaser (17f-3m winner) Edmund Kean and useful 2½m hurdle winner Brave Vic. Runner-up in a point and also occupied the same position in a Galway bumper in August, sticking to the task.

22/1

€52,000 My Dream Boat filly. Dam (c134/h132), 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Lord Ballim. Gambled on and showed plenty to work on when second of 8 at Wincanton in October 2024. Also showed ability 6 weeks later at Ludlow and off since.

Form: 23-

Rock Sensation²³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| D

14/1

Runner-up in a point prior to getting bogged down in the mud at Uttoxeter in December. Much more like it on better ground when landing 10-runner contest at Southwell in March. Value for extra, too, that day.

Form: 2/71-

Forecasts

Celestial Tune (9/4), Eremenko (5/1), Divine Diva (11/2), Amina (6/1), Edith Pelham (13/2), Kittys Glance (9/1), I C U In My Dreams (12/1), Katios Queen (12/1), Rock Sensation (14/1), Jo's Secret (14/1), For A Moment (20/1), Shotgun Shirley (22/1), Pollyanna's Dream (22/1), Masked Mistress (22/1), Midnight Musical (33/1), Shinealight (80/1)

In keeping with her pedigree, EREMENKO looked a useful prospect when an impressive winner on debut at Southwell in May and with improvement expected, she could be the answer. Celestial Tune is arguably the solid option given she's already had exposure to a couple of big-field Irish bumpers, with Divine Diva another to consider starting out for Dan Skelton.
