Volakes³⁹

14/1

Yet to win in seven starts and finished fourth of 11 at Uttoxeter (66/1) 39 days ago, showing a bit more after long break. Step up in trip needs to prompt further improvement.

Form: 335-4

Hard Dealt³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 101| BF| D

5/2

£50,000 buy after winning sole outing in Irish points and has made an encouraging start to her Rules career, landing 2½m Worcester novice in May. Shaped as if needing the run when sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Exeter 6 months on and could resume progress with that recent outing under her belt.

Form: 1642-16

Highbury Hill³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Bryan Carver| T: N J Hawke| OR: 99

9/2

Showed promise when finishing second in a maiden hurdle at Hexham (6/1) in October. Finished third of 16 in a handicap at Chepstow (10/1) since, making a late error when in contention for second. Should remain competitive.

Form: 3725-23

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: James Best| T: H Dickin| OR: 98

40/1

Won an all-weather Flat race in France and improved on previous efforts in this sphere when 2nd of 4 in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (14/1) 20 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to the winner. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 97-2

It's Maisy¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 96| C| D

4/1

Won four times, including once at this course, but finished fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (4/1) 13 days ago, not straightforward under pressure and weakening after hanging left.

Form: 34P4-45

Fay Ce Que Voudras^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 91

16/1

Attracted support but shaped as if needing the run reverting to hurdling when sixth of 8 in handicap at Hereford (9/2) 14 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 66344-6

Hyperbole¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 88

33/1

Has shown very little in three hurdle starts to date but did hint at ability sole outing in bumpers and is a potential improver now entering handicaps up in trip.

Form: 6P07

Queen Of Steel^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Hogan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 86| D

18/1

Had a strong winning run across both codes before finishing fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (7/2) 26 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly.

Forecasts

Analiese (5/2), Hard Dealt (5/2), It's Maisy (4/1), Highbury Hill (9/2), Miss Maxfort (8/1), Volakes (14/1), Fay Ce Que Voudras (16/1), Queen Of Steel (18/1), Hyperbole (33/1), Pipas Lescribaa (40/1)

HARD DEALT won a maiden hurdle at Worcester in May and should come on significantly from her recent Exeter run where she shaped as if needing the outing after six months off. This likeable mare looks ready to resume her progress now. Highbury Hill has been knocking on the door and would have finished closer at Chepstow but for a late error, while Queen of Steel appeals as the type to bounce back quickly from a poor run.
