Renesmee^p⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: K S McHugh⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael Keady| OR: 70

7/2

Unlucky not to win at Wolverhampton last month and made amends with narrow success at Chelmsford on Saturday. Has a 5 lb penalty to defy but re-united with an apprentice who she has an excellent record with.

Form: 0-66831

Party Bear^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 73| D

3/1

Confirmed she's still on the up when scoring with a bit in hand at Lingfield in January. Saddle slipped early next time and quickly back on track when close third in class 2 back at Lingfield 12 days ago, forced wide. Big shout at this lesser level.

Form: 8-62143

Hilltop⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 72| D

15/8

Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. In frame on next 3 outings but form has dropped off in 2 subsequent starts.

Form: 14328-4

Bear Rock¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 71| D

4/1

Right back on track following a break/returned to AW this winter, landing a 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in January. Found class 2 too competitive at Lingfield since but can bounce back.

Penny Mountain²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 56| C

8/1

Shed maiden tag in a 6f handicap here on New Year's Day and back to that level when second over C&D last month. However, she reportedly bled again so she needs treating with some caution.

Form: 4-13682

Forecasts

Hilltop (15/8), Party Bear (3/1), Renesmee (7/2), Bear Rock (4/1), Penny Mountain (8/1)

PARTY BEAR has had no luck on her previous visits here but she's been at the top of her game all year and remains of firm interest back down in class. Bear Rock is another who's back down in grade so is next best.
