Joanna Hiffernan²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Callan| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 61

5/1

Bred to stay well and has displayed some ability in 4 outings, conceding first run to the winner when second of 4 on handicap debut at Leicester over 1½m 4 weeks ago. 2m looks worth exploring and she's not yet exposed.

Hope Rising⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Harry Vigors⁽³⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 55| D

2/7

Three-time winner over hurdles who was ridden from the front and produced a dominant display when exploiting a modest Flat mark at Lingfield a week ago, kept up to work. Has to be taken very seriously under a penalty.

Form: 7660/41

Simiyann^b¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Ryan Kavanagh| T: Ian Williams| OR: 57| D

15/2

Largely below form since successful twice in staying handicaps last year. Has made a bit more impact in recent starts and now has another change of headgear but stablemate Free World looks much more likely.

Zooter¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Planas| T: Jack Jones| OR: 63

25/1

Fair maiden but rather expensive to follow on the level at up to 1¼m. Displayed some aptitude for hurdling at Uttoxeter recently and stamina for 2m taken on trust in this code.

Form: 4-25343

Assured^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Warren Fentiman| T: T R Gretton| OR: 48

125/1

Modest maiden for Marcus Tregoning and offered nothing in 3 starts for new yard this season.

Form: 557-605

Forecasts

Hope Rising (2/7), Free World (6/5), Joanna Hiffernan (5/1), Simiyann (15/2), Zooter (25/1), Assured (125/1)

Easy last-time-out winners FREE WORLD and Hope Rising should come to the fore under their respective 5 lb penalties, with marginal preference for the Ian Williams-trained runner. Joanna Hiffernan looks worth a go at 2m and is the other one to consider.
