Bluey²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 129WS

3/1

Landed 2 novice hurdles last season and she made a successful chasing debut at Kempton in October. In good nick since, second of 3 to Hollygrove Cha Cha in novice chase at Exeter (17.5f, heavy) 29 days ago. Since had a wind op and must enter calculations.

Form: 1P7-142

Hollygrove Cha Cha²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 129| D

2/1

Successful in 3 of her 5 starts over hurdles last term, notably Grade 2 at Sandown. Faced stiff task on return/chase debut at Carlisle and quickly back to winning ways in 3-runner mares' novice at Exeter (17.5f) 29 days ago. Goes handicapping now and very much one to consider.

Form: 121P-31

All The Glory^p²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 127| D

40/1

Useful hurdler who shaped encouragingly when second in a match at Chepstow on her chase debut/return. Has twice failed to build on it though, retried in cheekpieces when second of 3 at Exeter last month so has a bit to prove now.

Form: 360-263

Alfie's Princess^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Dylan Johnston| T: S Thomas| OR: 124| D

5/1

Point/hurdles winner who has made a promising start over fences, overcoming a 15-month absence to land 6-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Scored comfortably there so she's a player with few miles still on the clock.

Form: 1532/2-1

Georgi Girl^p³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 122

16/1

Fairly useful 2m5f hurdle winner. Yet to score over fences but did take a step forward from her reappearance when ninth in 15-runner handicap at Cheltenham (20.6f) last time. No surprise to see her in the mix off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 3533-49

Malaita²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Toby Wynne| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 115| D

22/1

Winless since the spring of 2024 but she is knocking on the door, runner-up in 3m1f Hereford handicap chase 27 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts again.

Form: 5-65322

Largy Force²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 106| D

7/2

Gained a deserved first win under Rules for her new yard in 5-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) 28 days ago. Can go well again nudged up 2 lb.

Form: 3B25-21

Ostrava Du Berlais^h³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 105

28/1

Hooded when a two-time chase winner in December 2024 but unable to build on a promising reappearance when pulled up at Cheltenham last month. Hood is refitted now so could bounce back.

Form: 3224-3P

Followango^p1²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams| OR: 104

22/1

Debut bumper winner but it's 16 runs since that success in 2023. Only seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Form: 24-2227

Forecasts

Hollygrove Cha Cha (2/1), Bluey (3/1), Largy Force (7/2), Alfie's Princess (5/1), Georgi Girl (16/1), Followango (22/1), Malaita (22/1), Ostrava Du Berlais (28/1), All The Glory (40/1)

ALFIE'S PRINCESS made light of a long absence when readily getting off the mark over fences at Wincanton last month and is weighted to follow up here. Olly Murphy's new recruit Largy Force is feared most on the back of her own breakthrough chasing success at Uttoxeter, while Hollygrove Cha Cha, Georgi Girl and Malaita can't be discounted either.
