Off time: 12:00 | Winning time: 5m 0.1s

Broomfield Aderra²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 119| D

9/4

Winning pointer who laid down solid foundations in a couple of Irish bumpers and bright start over hurdles for new yard, building on her Fontwell third when readily off the mark in mares' maiden at Lingfield (19.5f) 4 weeks ago. More to come now attentions switch to handicaps.

Form: 413-231

Analiese¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Toby Wynne| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 110| D

10/3

Won a maiden hurdle in February 2025 and improved model this winter, building on her second at Chepstow (19.5f) when proving 1¾ lengths too strong for Hard Dealt in mares' handicap at Uttoxeter (20f) 17 days ago. Player once more.

Form: 144-P21

Hard Dealt¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: David Bass| T: H D Daly| OR: 106| BF| D

4/1

Irish point winner who has made an encouraging start to her Rules career, landing 2½m Worcester novice in May. Showed benefit of her reappearance when 1¾ lengths second of 9 to Analiese in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 17 days ago. 2 lb better off with that rival here and she's respected.

Form: 642-162

The Secret Pearl^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 105

8/1

Successful in mares' maiden at Market Rasen (16.6f) in April and raised her game further in defeat this term, again doing her best work at the finish when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) 19 days ago. Rider takes off a handy 5 lb here.

Form: P61-F22

Disco Annie^h,t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies| OR: 103

12/1

Won twice over hurdles at Carlisle (17.1f) last season and comes here in good form, fifth over hurdles back at that venue prior to finishing a good third of 6 in handicap chase at Ludlow (2m) 23 days ago. Handicapper has cut her some slack ahead of this return to timber.

Form: 0-44U53

Sweet Magic^p1³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Jack Tudor| T: A Ralph| OR: 101

9/2

7-y-o mare who remains without a win but posted good placed efforts on 2 of her 4 starts in handicaps last season, including when runner-up in this race. Firmly expected to strip fitter for last month's reappearance run at Warwick and she's of interest from this mark with cheekpieces fitted.

Form: F/7252-4

Jammy Jay³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans| OR: 100

22/1

Poet's Word mare who ran her best race switched to a handicap for the first time when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good, 18/1) 31 days ago, staying on. Looks worth another crack at this longer trip on that evidence and unlikely we've seen all she has to offer.

Form: 72FF63

Forecasts

Broomfield Aderra (9/4), Analiese (10/3), Hard Dealt (4/1), Sweet Magic (9/2), The Secret Pearl (8/1), Disco Annie (12/1), Jammy Jay (22/1)

Runner-up from a 1 lb lower mark in this race 12 months ago, SWEET MAGIC is fully expected to strip fitter for her reappearance run at Warwick 37 days ago and, with cheekpieces now enlisted, she could well provide a spot of value. 1¾ lengths separated Analiese and Hard Dealt when the pair finished 1-2 at Uttoxeter 17 days ago and they head up the dangers ahead of progressive top weight Broomfield Aderra.
