Pure Seduction⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 100

5/1

Made a winning start over hurdles at Worcester in 2024 but has shown little on either start since returning from 18 months off. Now makes chasing debut with questions to answer.

Form: 3281/66-

A Little Something²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 89

8/13

Maiden who stepped up on her chase debut effort when runner up the last twice, including when going like the best horse at the weights over this trip at Fontwell 23 days ago. This looks an ideal opportunity for her to get off the mark.

Form: 72/3P22-

Little Wren^p⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Skelton| OR: 78

5/2

Proved herself much better over fences than hurdles when winning at Fakenham in January. Went off too hard upped to 25f last time and still may have more to offer if able to dominate back at this trip.

Forecasts

A Little Something (8/13), Little Wren (5/2), Pure Seduction (5/1), Miss Fedora (8/1), Ballyhiho (12/1)

A LITTLE SOMETHING shaped really well last time and can go one better at the expense of Little Wren who should be able to get into a good rhythm on the front end.
