9/4
Finished last season on the up with success at Fontwell. Shaped as if another win may not be far away when chasing home a thriving sort at Doncaster (3m, soft) in January but found to have bled when well beaten at Warwick last month. The stable won this race last year.

9/2
Made a successful start for Neil King in 2½m course maiden hurdle in October. 3m Doncaster second in December shows he can be competitive in handicaps. Has run poorly twice since but it's possible a recent breathing operation and a return to Fakenham could spark a revival.

Dual hurdle winner for Olly Murphy and struck at the fourth time of asking for Andy Irvine in 23f Lingfield handicap in November. Claims if returning from a break in similar form.

Placed in a bumper and maiden hurdles but the form is only modest. Left Willie Mullins and off 4 months, well below par when remote third of 4 at Ascot (19f) 15 days ago. Steps up in trip now handicapping for the first time.

2/1
Now 0-15 over hurdles but did shape with promise on last month's first outing for new yard after a year off at Uttoxeter, racing with plenty of zest in front and briefly clear before tying up on the run-in. This might be her day.

8/1
Stoutly-bred gelding who has yet to seriously threaten in a handicap and might find this test a little on the sharp side.

8/1
Dual winner for Olly Murphy and back to form out of blue for new yard in refitted cheekpieces (retained) when springing a 28/1 surprise in 3m Southwell handicap last month. Claims if the headgear continues to do the trick.

25/1 winner of 25f Plumpton handicap on reappearance in September but has been largely below par since, including back at Plumpton on his recent return from a break.

Forecasts

Rialannah (2/1), Ilitch (9/4), Breezethroughlife (9/2), Raby Mere (8/1), Alan Bresil (8/1), Tropical Speed (18/1), The Wise Traveller (20/1), Mahon Falls (40/1)

Verdict

RIALANNAH shaped a good bit better than fifth suggests on her Uttoxeter stable debut and is taken to build on that and strike at the second time of asking for Lucy Wadham. Recent Southwell scorer Raby Mere may give her most to do ahead of Breezethroughlife.
