50/1
Point winner who was successful at this course on second outing in bumpers last season. However, has bled on both starts over hurdles, returning from 9 months off when tailed off in maiden at Worcester in August.

15/2
Fairly useful Flat winner over 1¼m for Ralph Beckett last year. Yet to score for current yard but was runner-up at Chester (12.5f) in June. Lesser effort at Beverley later the same month, though she's not ruled out now starting off over hurdles.

Fairly useful form when winning twice at around 1m on the Flat for Francis-Henri Graffard last year. €130,000 purchase for current connections, but after 9 months off (had a breathing operation) she was well held in handicap at Windsor in August. Still one to note on hurdles bow.

40/1
Dink filly. Dam, bumper/2m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chase winner (stayed 23f) Silver Forever. Represents leading yard, though looks to be the stable second string on jockey bookings.

Long-standing maiden on the Flat who has lost her way this year. Fared no better tried over hurdles when seventh of 8 in novice at this course (2½m) 17 days ago.

4/9
Fairly useful 3-time Flat winner at around 1½m for Michael Bell and placed in listed company on first 2 starts over hurdles for this yard. Disappointing the last twice, beaten at short odds in juvenile maiden at Fakenham in April, but she's fancied to get back on track after a break.

7/2
Justified support when winning both starts in bumpers, coming from last to first at Kelso in May before doing well to defy a penalty at this course 17 days ago. Interesting hurdling newcomer.

Forecasts

Tralee Girl (4/9), You Be Lucky Jean (7/2), Helmsley (15/2), Mia Sunshine (16/1), Mighty Dink (40/1), Blue Topaz (50/1), Sweet Cicely (300/1)

Verdict

Having made a promising start over hurdles, TRALEE GIRL hasn't been at her best in 2 outings this year but she's well worth another chance returning from a break for her leading yard. You Be Lucky Jean was successful both starts in bumpers and is feared most, while Mia Sunshine is respected given her ability on the Flat.
