Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: Ewan Whillans

Maxios mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Master Malt and bumper winner Echo Springs, stayed 3m. Interesting on paper.

Connells Cross²⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

Half-sister to numerous winners, including useful hurdler Fennor Cross, and showed ability when second of 5 in bumper at Perth (2/1) on debut/sole outing for Fergal O'Brien in May, albeit flattered by proximity to the winner.

Form: 2

Crimson Ocean¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: Dan Horsford

£50,000 3-y-o, Crystal Ocean filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including useful hurdle winner/very smart chaser Hell's Kitchen and useful chaser Militarian. Shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 10 in Wetherby bumper on debut back in November and should know more this time.

Form: 4

Datstheholyallofit

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: P Neville

Snow Sky mare. Dam unraced. Market should offer up some clues.

Forecasts

Crimson Ocean (11/10), Connells Cross (9/4), Datstheholyallofit (7/2), Bourbon Girl (12/1)

CRIMSON OCEAN showed ability on her debut at Wetherby in November and should know more this time, so she's the percentage call for an up-and-coming yard. Connells Cross ran to a similar level as the selection when runner-up at Perth on her sole outing for Fergal O'Brien in May, while the betting is likely to prove informative regarding the chances of the newcomers Bourbon Girl and Datstheholyallofit.
