Kateira21
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Skelton| OR:  145
Useful hurdler who made the most of good opportunity (sole rival amiss) when winning a listed Mares' Hurdle at Wetherby (2m, good) on return last month. Performed with credit when fourth of 8 in Grade 2 Ascot Hurdle 3 weeks later and she's the one to beat back down in class against her own sex.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR:  130| D
Successful twice last season, including listed mares' race at Kelso in March, and has shaped well both starts this time round, latterly fourth in an 8-runner Market Rasen handicap (23f, good to soft). However, will need to raise her game in order to emerge on top in this contest.

World Of Fortunesp56
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: Jordan Gainford| T: James Kenny| OR:  135| CD
Last season's productive novice campaign included a C&D listed success in March, and enhanced excellent strike rate in this sphere when bagging a Ballinrobe handicap in September. Went down all guns blazing back in this grade at Limerick last time and she will give Kateira plenty to think about.

Bethpage19
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR:  130
Consistent and progressive mare who landed handicaps at Wincanton and Stratford during the spring, both over 3m+ on good ground (all 5 career wins have come on good/good to firm). Proved she can mix it at this level when second at Kempton recently and place possibilities granted suitable conditions.

Dual hurdles winner at around 2½m who had undergone a second wind operation prior to making a winning return/chase debut at Bangor in October. Made it 2-2 over fences at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago, but she faces a tall order upped in class back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Kateira (8/13), World Of Fortunes (4/1), Lavida Adiva (8/1), Bethpage (8/1), Molto Bene (14/1)

Verdict

Irish raider WORLD OF FORTUNES is a sporting alternative to Kateira in what is likely to boil down to a straight fight between the two. The latter is versatile trip-wise and sets the standard on form such as her near-miss in a C&D Grade 2 in January. However, World of Fortunes, who is 5-9 in this sphere, still appears to be on the up judged on her latest effort at Limerick and she won't go down without a fight. Bethpage can pick up minor place money.
