Holly Hartingo^p⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 123| C

5/1

Runner-up on last three starts including when beaten a head in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.5f) 7 weeks ago, running as well as she ever has but run out of things in the last couple of strides. 5 lb higher here but this represents an ease in grade.

Form: 5132-22

Love Of Neymore²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Price| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 119| CD

15/8

Stepped up on return when scoring over C&D in December and ran well in stronger company since, latest when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Windsor (12/1) 26 days ago, doing well to get as close as she did given a severe error 4 out. Likeable type who should go well.

Form: 43-5134

Jalisco Star^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: L Horsfall| OR: 116| D

2/1

Much better over hurdles than fences, scoring at Uttoxeter in December then runner-up the last twice, unlucky not to finish closer after lacking clear run from 3 out on latest at Warwick (25f) 3 weeks ago. Career-high mark to contend with but remains one to be interested in.

Form: 2-6P122

Princess Keri¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Jones| T: Evan Williams| OR: 110

3/1

In fine form since reverted to hurdles, landing handicaps at Lingfield (2m) and Ludlow (21f) in November. Unseated when in control at Fakenham (2½m) last month but made amends 8 days later from the same mark in 4-runner mares' event at Hereford. 14 lb higher here but she's firmly on the up.

Forecasts

Love Of Neymore (15/8), Jalisco Star (2/1), Princess Keri (3/1), Holly Hartingo (5/1), Getaway Theatre (5/1)

Cases can be made for most of these, but the vote goes to PRINCESS KERI, who hasn't looked back since reverting back to hurdles and Evan Williams' 6-y-o can defy a significant rise in the weights to notch her fourth success of the season. Love of Neymore is a likeable type and she can give the selection most to think about, with last year's winner Getaway Theatre also not out of things with Sean Bowen a notable jockey booking.
