Sea Thrift³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Robbie David⁽⁵⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 97| CD

9/4

Confirmed the promise of her chasing debut when winning a C&D handicap in January. Doubled her tally in this sphere when landing the odds in 3-runner contest at Southwell last time and she looks the one to beat back at this venue.

Form: 13F121

Away For The Night²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales| OR: 92

11/8

Modest maiden hurdler but at least matched that level at the first attempt over fences when second of 6 in handicap at Taunton last month. Can make his presence felt with more to offer as a chaser.

Form: 4-68752

Angel's Dream^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 80| C

3/1

Successful at second attempt over fences in a Lingfield handicap in November 2024 but has gone backwards from that effort since, though did have an excuse (bad mistake 4 out) when well-beaten fourth of 5 over C&D 20 days ago. Drops back in grade.

Form: F16-6P4

Pleasure Garden^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: K Jewell| OR: 67| CD

8/1

Made a winning chase debut over C&D back in April 2023 but hasn't been able to add to that since. After 10 months off, possibly needed the run when well-beaten third of 6 at Huntingdon 18 days ago, though he's 4 lb out of the weights here.

Form: 953-3P3

Forecasts

Away For The Night (11/8), Sea Thrift (9/4), Angel's Dream (3/1), Pleasure Garden (8/1), Gold Souk (20/1)

SEA THRIFT has quickly developed into a better chaser than hurdler, making it 2 wins from 3 completed starts in this sphere with a comfortable success at Southwell last month, so she holds leading claims of adding to her tally. Away For The Night made an encouraging chase debut when runner-up at Taunton and looks the chief threat.
