Ip Up²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 112| BF| D

9/4

Chased home an unexposed one at Ludlow prior to finishing runner-up in conditions hurdle at Fontainebleau last time, and she should go close in her current vein of form.

Form: 3-43322

Lady Magic²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: T Symonds| OR: 111| D

5/1

Dual French bumper winner improved when successful second time up over hurdles at Kempton but wasn't in same form when fifth at Wincanton last time. Handicapper hasn't taken any chances with her opening mark, either.

Form: 5-11515

Pure Seduction⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Sutton⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 106| D

16/1

£30,000 4-y-o. Mount Nelson mare made a winning start over hurdles at Worcester but went with no promise on return from 18 months off/handicap debut at Doncaster. May come on for that, for all she doesn't look obviously well treated.

Form: 32/81-6

Mistral Milly^t1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 103

33/1

Fair maiden for Emma Lavelle in 2024 but tongue strap applied quickly following underwhelming reappearance/stable debut.

Form: 432/P4-9

Aj's Diamond^h²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon| OR: 102

11/10

Harzand mare. Dam, half-sister to stable's useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Highway One O One. Caught the eye under quiet ride when third (18/1) on qualifying run at Wincanton, and with that form working out well, she can improve again to make a winning handicap debut.

Form: 5-30463

Gower Spirit¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 97

9/1

Best efforts have come under soft/heavy conditions, and she found a run of good form coming to a halt when last of 8 in 2m handicap at Hereford (good) latest.

Form: P82248

Forecasts

Aj's Diamond (11/10), Ip Up (9/4), Lady Magic (5/1), Chatty Girl (6/1), Gower Spirit (9/1), Pure Seduction (16/1), Mistral Milly (33/1)

Ip Up is knocking on the door but may again be thwarted, handicap debutante AJ'S DIAMOND appealing most on the back of a promising qualifying run.
