Blue Topaz^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Hogan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 100| D

6/1

Point winner who got off the mark at fourth time of asking in this sphere when readily taking 5-runner novice hurdle at Hereford (2m, good to firm) 19 days ago. Likely capable of better yet.

Form: 41P-731

Little Lady Rock²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J M Quinlan| T: Nick Scholfield| OR: 109

2/5

Placed in all 3 bumpers for Ryan Potter last year and has improved with each start over hurdles for new yard this season, latest when second of 7 in novice (11/4) at Chepstow (3m, good to soft) 23 days ago, travelling as well as any. Will take all the beating.

Form: 22-8132

Briery Rose²⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: H D Daly

9/1

Showed a bit in bumpers on first 2 starts but her hurdling debut in April suggested she may be being brought along with handicaps in mind.

Form: 5/85-

Moyanna²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: T R George| BF

13/2

Made the frame in both bumper outings thus far, latest when third of 7 at Sedgefield 25 days ago. Needs more to take a hand on switch to hurdling but this longer trip should benefit her.

Form: 3-3

Forecasts

Little Lady Rock (2/5), Blue Topaz (6/1), Moyanna (13/2), Briery Rose (9/1)

This can go to LITTLE LADY ROCK, who is going the right way over hurdles and only found a promising debutant too good at Chepstow last time. Hereford winner Blue Topaz is the forecast pick.
