Ninna Collina⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 114| D

13/8

Promising daughter of Jack Hobbs who got off the mark in 8-runner novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to firm) and improved to defy a penalty at Hexham last month. Hard to rule out further progress so she's on the shortlist.

Form: 3233-11

Azahara Palace¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: A Keatley| OR: 110| D

5/2

Fairly useful handicapper at up to 13.5f on the Flat for Hughie Morrison, latest success gained at Epsom in July. Changed hands for 35,000 gns and didn't need to match the form of her opening second over hurdles do go one place better at Hexham.

Form: 21

Berwick Law^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: I Jardine

80/1

Hooded and hinted at promise when fifth of 8 in bumper at Ayr (16f, heavy, 22/1) on NH debut 27 days ago. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 5

Crystal Days^t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 105| D

3/1

40/1 winner of Warwick bumper in the spring and made a promising return/hurdles debut at Uttoxeter (2m) in October, shaping well with a pair with some strong bumper form. Upped to 19.4f and she finished weakly at Doncaster. Quickly back at 2m.

Form: 751-34

Eastern Shores^h,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 103

10/1

£70,000 purchase after winning Irish point but just modest form in bumpers. Left previous hurdles form well behind when third of 10 at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago and she's open to progress.

Form: 1/3-4673

12/1

Roarin' Success⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

Forecasts

Ninna Collina (13/8), Azahara Palace (5/2), Crystal Days (3/1), No Tricks At All (13/2), Eastern Shores (10/1), Klassy Pearl (12/1), Roarin' Success (25/1), Flight To Bresil (25/1), Berwick Law (80/1)

This looks open and while NINNA COLLINA must shoulder a double penalty, she's a good sort physically so may well be up to the task. Eastern Shores and Azahara Palace head the opposition.
