Velvet Whisper¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: E Bethell| OR: 72| D

4/1

Improved when winning in the mud at Nottingham (1¼m) and Musselburgh (12.5f) last autumn. Hasn't found the same form in her 3 outings this year but may have needed her latest one after 3 months off.

Form: 211-886

Jujubella^p³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 66| CD

6/4

Three-time course winner. Strong-travelling second over C&D in June and respectable third at Hamilton latest. Things didn't go her way at Galway last time and likely still in form. Gets the vote.

Rubellite⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hanlon| OR: 62| CD

4/1

Completed an all-weather double over C&D in June. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (1¼m, 16/1) 42 days ago. Her last 7 wins have come at 1½m or further, so this step back up in trip should suit her.

Found improvement when successful at Ayr in July and resumed winning ways in 3-runner handicap at Thirsk (1½m, good) since. Remains feasibly treated.

Princess Niyla¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 57

Seventeen runs since last win in 2025 but latest third of 11 at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm) creditable. Has form over this sort of trip and starting to look well handicapped.
