15/2
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Respectable seventh of 16 on her handicap debut at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Back down in trip. Others look better treated at these weights though.

11/10
It's now 18 runs since her last win in 2023 but she comes here on the back of a very good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, soft) 17 days ago. Can go well again despite a 2 lb weights rise.

Yet to score but she is knocking on the door, a clear second of 5 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 10 days ago. Merits serious consideration nudged up 1 lb.

20/1
Modest Flat maiden who posted her best effort in this sphere when third of 7 in novice at Wincanton (15.2f, good) 81 days ago on her final run for Stuart Kittow. Not ruled out on her yard/handicap debut after a break.

28/1
Point winner who made a promising start over hurdles when second in a Carlisle maiden (19f) last April. Has gone the wrong way since, though, and was pulled up in 3m Wetherby handicap 18 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Vanilla Dancer (11/10), Voodoo Angel (11/8), Merry Shuil (15/2), Adaay Dancing (20/1), Theatre Light (28/1)

Verdict

VOODOO ANGEL rates the pick of the weights on the back of her excellent recent C&D second so looks the way to go here. Vanilla Dancer also arrives at the top of her game so should ensure Donald McCain's mare doesn't have things all her own way, while handicap debutante Adaay Dancing can also have a say.
