Form: 2P35/P6

Princesse Milania³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 97| D

Back-to-back winner in the autumn. Good placed efforts next 2 starts but found run of good form coming to an abrupt halt at Market Rasen (13/2) 33 days ago. Type to bounce back.

Form: 911338

Innisfree Lass^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 94| CD

Simply hasn't fired this season. Makes belated return to hurdles now but has won 2 of last 3 starts in this sphere (around 2 years ago).

Form: 2F-2P53

Queen Of Steel^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 89| D

6/5

Produced a career best when winning a 20.5f handicap hurdle at Leicester (9/2, 11 ran) 29 days ago. Up 5 lbs and should remain competitive.

Form: 611-531

Feeling Frisky¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 81

66/1

Didn't show much in a couple of bumpers for Kieran Burke and poor form at best over hurdles.

Form: 6-8638F

Lady Harriett^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: S Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 74| BF

4/1

Returned to form when third at Fakenham in first-time blinkers last month, shaping as if needing more of a test. However, pulled up on chasing debut 19 days ago, didn't go with encouragement. Returns to hurdles with cheekpieces back on.

Form: P3P-33P

Forecasts

Queen Of Steel (6/5), Asa (11/8), Princesse Milania (10/3), Lady Harriett (4/1), Innisfree Lass (9/2), Bluella Bresil (33/1), Feeling Frisky (66/1)

ASA bolted up in this last year off 5 lb lower so looks more than capable of following up having looked as good as ever when winning over fences at Catterick recently. Queen of Steel produced a career best when scoring at Leicester and is next best ahead of Lady Harriett.
