Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Leah Noreci⁽¹⁰⁾| T: James Moffatt

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Dominic Hislop⁽⁷⁾| T: C Bissett

250/1

Offered little when pulled up in novice hurdle at Ayr (2m, soft) on her debut in November. Lots more is required.

Oor Wish³³

Viscountess Nelson³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

4/9

Won sole start in points and she shaped well on her hurdling bow when second of 8 in novice at Plumpton (21f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Seems sure to progress for leading yard.

Form: 1-42

Celtic Alliance²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: S Bowen| T: G Elliott

7/4

Order of St George filly who made a winning start in 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Clonmel recently. Capable of building on it and a likely player. Stablemate of Dunsy Rock.

Form: 1

Quinnfinity

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Toby Wynne| T: R M Smith

150/1

€6,000 3-y-o, Jet Away filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Lone Wolf and bumper winner/fair hurdler Love At Sea. Dam dual winning pointer. The market can guide for this newcomer.

Forecasts

Viscountess Nelson (4/9), Celtic Alliance (7/4), Dunsy Rock (2/1), Frankies Fortune (16/1), Oor Wish (22/1), Sagonige (33/1), Aristelle (125/1), Quinnfinity (150/1), Bracing Brook (250/1)

Irish challenger DUNSY ROCK has to concede weight all round but still looks the way to go on the back of an emphatic Fairyhouse success with this longer trip also a plus. Nicky Henderson's Viscountess Nelson made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Plumpton and rates the main danger ahead of the selection's stablemate Celtic Alliance.
