Game Colours^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 119

10/3

Won soft ground novice hurdle at Lingfield last winter and has progressed in defeat subsequently, showing benefit of a recent run when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, outpaced before rallying run-in. Looks sure to go well again.

Form: 3132-33

I Spy A Diva³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 118

5/1

Four-time winner over hurdles who hasn't shaped at all badly on 2 of her 3 starts this term, fading only from after the last when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f) 30 days ago. Arrives just 1 lb above last winning mark and ease back in trip can help.

Form: 17/9-684

Ring O Roses^h²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 117

40/1

Fairly useful hurdler for Henry de Bromhead (2m winner) who ran respectably when third of 9 in handicap for present yard at Lingfield (19.5f) this time last year. Suffered an unfortunate early exit on her reappearance 26 days ago but this can reveal more now. Hood back on.

Form: 34U23-U

Looking As You Are²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 115

7/1

Third hurdle success when shading a tight finish in 21f Ludlow handicap in February. Bettered that form when chasing home an upwardly mobile sort on reappearance in handicap at Market Rasen (18.5f) in November and not disgraced when third at Sandown (19.8f) latest. Each-way claims again.

Form: 6413-23

Easy Love³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 112| BF

11/2

Progressive in bumpers and overcame inexperience to make a successful hurdling in 5-runner maiden at Fontwell (21.8f, good) in May. Clearly not right when pulled up on second start following a break at Exeter (23.1f) in November. Opening mark demands more in any case now handicapping.

Form: 413-13P

Bobbi With An I¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 110| BF

7/2

Points/mares' novice hurdle winner who has shaped with plenty of promise on 2 of her 3 starts in handicaps this winter, posting her best effort yet and finishing with running left when runner-up at Wincanton (19.8f) 16 days ago. Knocking firmly on the door and she's high on the shortlist.

Form: 11P-442

Lets Go To Vegas²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Hogan| T: A Ralph| OR: 110

9/2

Dual winner as a novice over hurdles who was clearly lacking nothing in fitness following a 22-month layoff when successful in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Haydock (18.9f) at the start of last month. Return to this slightly longer trip a plus on that evidence.

Form: 0P352/1

Springtime Legend^h²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 103

28/1

Some encouragement both starts in bumpers and fair form when second on third start in mares' novice/maidens last winter. Feasible to think last month's Wincanton fourth was needed and switch to handicaps can see her in a better light now for yard amongst the winners.

Form: 45625-4

Forecasts

Game Colours (10/3), Bobbi With An I (7/2), Lets Go To Vegas (9/2), I Spy A Diva (5/1), Easy Love (11/2), Looking As You Are (7/1), Jasmine D'airy (7/1), Springtime Legend (28/1), Ring O Roses (40/1)

BOBBI WITH AN I arrives here on the back of a highly-encouraging second in similar company at Wincanton 16 days ago, likely she'd have laid down a serious threat to the winner that day had she engaged with her challenge sooner. She can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top with further progress in the offing. Haydock scorer Lets Go To Vegas, class-dropping Game Colours and Looking As You Are are a trio of others fancied to feature.
