La Belle Argentee^p,t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: David Bass| T: M Comley| OR: 91WS

10/3

Regressive for Dan Skelton but probably shouldn't be judged too harshly on her opening effort for this yard in first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap combination over C&D last month, possibly needed the run after 10 weeks off. Has had a breathing operation since and this will reveal more.

Form: 4/27P55-

Kates Choice^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: James Best| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 90

4/1

Made more of an impact than previously when second of 9 at Exeter (17f, good to soft) in April but she was still beaten 25 lengths. In mid-field when falling at the first here since.

Form: 69542-F

Barafundle Bay¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: David Noonan| T: Christian Williams| OR: 88

14/1

Modest 11f Flat winner who was in need of the experience in a pair of hurdle starts for David Killahena & Graeme McPherson in November. Makes a quick switch to handicaps now for a new stable and remains unexposed.

Form: 44-

Freddiemissmolli^h1¹⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Murphy| OR: 85

15/2

Displayed some promise in bumpers and while well held on her completed starts over hurdles, she could have more to offer now handicapping for a new yard (formerly with Debra Hamer) over a longer trip. Hood on for 1st time.

Form: 20/85U0-

Forest Spirit^p1²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 81

11/4

Fair performer on the Flat who showed first worthwhile form in this sphere when third in 7-runner C&D handicap 29 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and makes appeal from a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 09753-

Jlow¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: R Potter| OR: 81

5/1

Looked a handful retried in headgear when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good, 11/1) 16 days ago, dropping away quickly. Enough to prove despite easing mark.

Form: 46P46-P

Mya Du Clos⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr J J Murphy-Knight⁽⁷⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 86

10/1

Down the field sole outing in bumpers and has yet to make an impact over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Southwell (3m) on latest start.

Forecasts

Forest Spirit (11/4), La Belle Argentee (10/3), Kates Choice (4/1), Jlow (5/1), Miss Tiara (5/1), Mystical Mabel (11/2), Freddiemissmolli (15/2), Mya Du Clos (10/1), Barafundle Bay (14/1)

FOREST SPIRT showed her first worthwhile form over hurdles when third over C&D last month and, representing a yard that tends to thrive at this time of year, it’s reasonable to believe she could take another step forward, not least given her fair Flat form. Mystical Mabel and Kates Choice head up the opposition.
