Winning Irish pointer who confirmed earlier promise when winning 10-runner novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (2¾m, good to soft) in April. Not out of things on handicap debut.

Useful stayer on Flat. Scored over hurdles for Lucy Wadham last term. Fortunate winner on second run for this yard at Fakenham (2½m) in January and well held at Wetherby (21f, good) in March. Since had a breathing operation and not ruled out on return in refitted cheekpieces.

Dual Flat scorer in Ireland. Made a bright start to her hurdle career when winning juveniles at Hereford and Newbury before Christmas. Not in the same form when fourth in Victor Ludorum at Haydock (2m, good to soft) in February. Sort to bounce back now going into handicaps.

A fair winning hurdler/chaser who ended last season when seeing off 13 rivals in 3m Newbury handicap hurdle in March. The first-time cheekpieces worn there are retained. In the mix with stable going well.

20/1
Ex-French hurdler who scored readily on handicap debut at Hereford (2m4f) in March. Well below par when fifth of 8 at Kelso (21f, good to soft) following month. No surprise to see her bounce back after a break.

Useful at her best on Flat. Placed on both her starts over hurdles (around 2m) in maidens at Haydock and Fontwell in late spring. Comes here fit from Flat and one to consider going handicapping.

Made a winning hurdles debut at Sedgefield last October and proved very consistent in defeat thereafter, signing off with a good fourth of 8 in juvenile at Sandown (2m, good to firm) in April. This longer trip promises to suit so she's a player on her return for in-form yard.

Winning pointer/hurdler. Made a winning debut over fences at Huntingdon (3m) in January but well held both subsequent runs at Plumpton and Fakenham. Reverts to hurdles after 7 months off with something to prove.

Remains a maiden but hurdling better and running consistently well this season, runner-up for the second time in 4-runner handicap at Bangor (17f, good) last month. Can go well again.

Forecasts

Onefournine (2/1), Jammy Jay (9/2), Kosasiempre (11/2), Only One Blue (13/2), Miss Cynthia (7/1), Flash Bardot (7/1), Love Sonnet (18/1), Miss Carbo (20/1), Where's Cato (33/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for lots of these but the vote goes to ONLY ONE BLUE who returns on a handy-looking mark for her in-form handler with this step up in trip also looking a plus. Dan Skelton's Miss Cynthia resumes on the back of a breathing operation and heads the list of dangers, while Kosasiempre and Flash Bardot also need considering.

  1. Only One Blue13/2
  2. Miss Cynthia7/1
  3. Kosasiempre11/2
