Alfie's Princess^t⁴³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: R T Dunne| T: S Thomas| OR: 119| BF

15/8

Point winner who landed first 2 starts in mares' novice hurdles in 2023/24 and ended the campaign with an excellent second in Grade 2 handicap at Newbury. Promising start over fences when second at Ffos Las on return last season but off since. Likely to progress over fences despite absence.

Form: 11532/2-

Blacksamssenorita⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 113

4/1

Bred to make a chaser and immediately improved on the form she'd shown in maiden/novice hurdles when making a winning chase/handicap bow at Uttoxeter on return last month, idling and value extra. More to come and must be of interest.

Form: 32212-1

Sam's Amour⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr H Hunt⁽⁷⁾| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 110

22/1

Successful 3 times over hurdles in 2024. As good as ever on second outing back this season when second at Newton Abbot in July but struggled next 2 starts. Bit to prove now going chasing.

Form: 11-4285

Clotilda^t³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Freddie Keighley⁽⁷⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 117

3/1

Fair juvenile hurdler/chaser in France. Mixed record for Paul Nicholls but ran well having her first start over fences in Britain when second at Exeter last month, coming from much further back than the winner. Potentially on a good mark if building on that.

Form: 382-062

Another Day Out^p³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 103| CD

7/2

Not straightforward but three-time winner over fences last season, including this race off 2 lb higher. Much better for return when second at Ludlow and not disgraced back hurdling since. Front runner who's not taken lightly.

Form: 527-324

Asian Spice⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁵⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 100

14/1

Successful 4 times in handicap hurdles, with 3 of her victories at Exeter. However, after 6 months off she ran no sort of race when tailed off in handicap at Warwick on chase debut last month.

Form: 1196-46

Forecasts

Alfie's Princess (15/8), Clotilda (3/1), Another Day Out (7/2), Blacksamssenorita (4/1), Asian Spice (14/1), Sam's Amour (22/1), Popova (50/1)

ALFIE'S PRINCESS has some solid form to her name over hurdles and made a promising start over fences on her sole run last season, so is taken to defy an absence for her in-form yard. Blacksamssenorita is an obvious threat having made a winning start in this sphere at Uttoxeter on return, while last year's winner Another Day Out could be set for a big run.
