Kellebelle^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: R T Dunne| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 88

7/1

Well held in bumper/novice hurdles but showed much more equipped with a tongue strap when runner-up on handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f) 17 days ago, unlucky to bump into one so far ahead of her mark. Interesting if she can build on that now.

After Many Days^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 87

11/5

Maiden who has run well on 2 of her last 3 starts, looking set for better still for a long way when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 30 days ago. Up 2 lb on the back of that but she has a race of this nature within grasp on that evidence.

Form: 3P-4242

Getarose¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85

40/1

Hinted at promise when reaching the frame in maiden hurdles at Ffos Las (15.8f) and Hereford (19.5f) but made little impact in handicaps to date. Mark sliding as a result but she's tough to assess at present.

Natus Vincere^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 83| BF

13/8

Joined present yard from Laura Morgan having shown little and having been gambled on, never featured on stable/handicap debut at Leicester (4/1 fav) just over 4 weeks ago. Interesting to see if her supporters return from this unchanged mark.

Form: 1559-5

Prairie Queen^t⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 73

9/2

Still looking for first success but posted another creditable effort when fourth of 13 in 19f Taunton handicap when last seen in November. Place possibilities off the same mark provided she handles forecast testing ground.

Form: FP5344

Liloo D'ores^t,v1¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 70

9/1

Long-standing maiden who has showed no benefit following a second breathing operation. Sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (18/1) 17 days ago, running poorly again. First-time visor goes on but could only be considered if backed from falling mark.

Forecasts

Natus Vincere (13/8), After Many Days (11/5), Prairie Queen (9/2), Connies Hill (6/1), Kellebelle (7/1), Liloo D'ores (9/1), Getarose (40/1), Sweet Serene (50/1)

NATUS VINCERE never figured having been well supported on her respective yard/handicap debut at Leicester last month but she wasn't seen to anything like best effect and looks worthy of another chance from such a lowly mark with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle. After Many Days surely has a race of this nature in her grasp and is feared most, with Kellebelle completing the shortlist.
