Briery Butterfly39
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR:  93
Continues in good heart and is capable of landing one of these, making the frame once again at Ludlow last time. Big shout if staying the longer trip.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: Aaron Anderson(5)| T: J Bedi| OR:  88
Continues to progress over hurdles and opened her account under an enterprising ride at Catterick (19.3f) a fortnight ago, staying on well. Up 7 lb and facing longer trip but can't be dismissed in this company.

Off the mark in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle in November and ran respectably off this mark at Catterick since. One to consider.

Jewel Of Windsort1,p123
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR:  85
Some hope on best point/bumper exploits and may have needed last month's Hereford run after 6 months off. Headgear goes on up in trip and interesting to see market support.

Dance In The Parkb17
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-11| J: Shane Fenelon(5)| T: M Bowen| OR:  78
Fair maiden hurdler attracted some support and fared a bit better than of late reverting to more prominent tactics in first-time blinkers at Catterick last time, beaten 17½ lengths by Somebodycomegether. Interesting up in trip.

Poor maiden hurdler who again has a mountain to climb from a long way out of the weights.

Forecasts

Somebodycomegether (7/4), Briery Butterfly (2/1), Apieceovfortune (4/1), Dance In The Park (6/1), Jewel Of Windsor (14/1), Precious Jean (33/1), Porridge (50/1)

Verdict

BRIERY BUTTERFLY is the obvious call in the hope she stays the longer trip. She's been running well in similar races and can surely land one soon. Catterick winner Somebodycomegether and her old rival Dance In The Park are dangers.
