Double Indemnity⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

4/1

Point winner. Shaped well when runner-up in novice at Carlisle on hurdling bow in February but pulled up in novice here (2½m) following month. Worth another chance after a break.

Form: 00-

Happy Harrison^t³⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: G Hanmer

40/1

Had a breathing operation (also tongue tied) before coming in last of 10 in bumper at Worcester 12 months ago. Makes hurdles debut with his fitness to prove.

Form: 7/0-

Chambers¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Kimber| T: Faye Bramley

20/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. Off 5 months and below that level when sixth of 14 switched to hurdles at Fontwell (2¼m) 17 days ago but should strip sharper for that debut run.

Form: 6

Earnest Belief^p,t1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

7/1

A fair maiden on Flat for John & Thady Gosden. Failed to build on an encouraging hurdling debut third at Carlisle when a well-held fourth at Hexham three weeks ago. Tongue tied and fitted with cheekpieces now. Not written off.

Form: 3-4

Ladies Day¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Andrews| T: T Ellis

4/7

Won sole start in point bumpers and fair form when runner-up 3 times in bumpers under Rules. Made mistakes but still shaped with some promise when second of 7 in novice at Fakenham (2½m) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Holds leading claims with more to offer.

Form: 32220-2

Winter Life⁵⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies

250/1

Modest Flat maiden for Charlie Johnston in 2024. Well held both runs for her new yard, though, so plenty to prove now going hurdling after 19 months off.

Form:

Mega Etoile¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 98

5/1

Progressing with experience over hurdles, coming in a very good third of 14 in novice at Fontwell (2¼m) 17 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not out of things.

Forecasts

Ladies Day (4/7), Kind Intention (7/2), Double Indemnity (4/1), Mega Etoile (5/1), Earnest Belief (7/1), Chambers (20/1), Happy Harrison (40/1), Go Try (100/1), Winter Life (250/1)

LADIES DAY has some fair form to her name in points/bumpers so is fancied to build on an encouraging hurdles debut runner-up at Fakenham and go one better. Mega Etoile has the form to play a part and rates the chief threat ahead of the Donald McCain-trained duo Earnest Belief and Double Indemnity.
