Off time: 14:35 | Winning time: 4m 35.37s

A Path To Ronda¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

11/10

Fair bumper winner who readily scored on her hurdling debut in 8-runner novice at Stratford (22f, good to soft, evens) 18 days ago. Looks to have more to offer and is a big player.

Form: 14-1

Dawn's Desire¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford

250/1

No encouragement to glean from a trio of outings in mares' maiden hurdles, beating just one at Chepstow (2m4f) 12 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: F0-9

Freddiemissmolli²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer

100/1

Fair form shown in bumpers on her first two runs but only eighth of 9 in similar company at Ffos Las 20 days ago. More is required now starting out over hurdles.

Form: 20-8

Supreme Malinas²⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

4/5

Irish point winner who also showed fairly useful form in bumpers last term, landing a listed event at Huntingdon in December. Interesting hurdling debutante for top yard.

Form: F1/2135-

Merely A Detail^t1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Burke| T: T Bulgin| OR: 107

14/1

Fair bumper scorer who has shown similar form when placed in a pair of maiden hurdles, not seen to best effect when third of 8 at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Enters calculations.

Form: 1070-23

Non-Runners

Betty's Daisy²²⁸

Weight: 11-0| Age: 5

T: B Pauling J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Supreme Malinas (4/5), A Path To Ronda (11/10), Betty's Daisy (3/1), Merely A Detail (14/1), Freddiemissmolli (100/1), Dawn's Desire (250/1)

A PATH TO RONDA looked a good prospect when making a winning start in this sphere at Stratford and can defy a 7 lb penalty at the chief expense of Dan Skelton's hurdling debutante Supreme Malinas who brings winning point/bumper form to the table and rates a big danger. Both Betty's Daisy and Merely A Detail also command respect.
