1/6

Won 3 bumpers last season, including a Sandown listed race. Ran a race full of promise on hurdling debut when second at Newbury on return. Sure to progress and win races over hurdles. Hard to beat.

Pollyanna's Dream¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland

13/2

Displayed ability all 3 starts in bumpers spread out over 13 months and made decent start over hurdles when second at Fontwell. Big step forward required, however.

Form: 23-72

Wassailing Along³⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

33/1

Telescope filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser So Said I and fair hurdler/chaser My Lady Grey. Offered something to work on when third of 6 in bumper at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy, 11/2) on NH debut a year ago but off since. First run for yard after leaving Anthony Honeyball.

Form: 3-

Forecasts

Charisma Cat (1/6), Pollyanna's Dream (13/2), Lau And Shaz (9/1), Wassailing Along (33/1), Innisfree Pearl (50/1)

Hard to oppose the progressive CHARISMA CAT who faces a simple task here. Lau And Shaz is next best on the pick of her form for her previous yard.
