Just Milly⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: D A Jacob| T: J Mackie

10/3

Signs of promise in bumpers and stepped up on her hurdling debut when winning at Doncaster on good ground in December. Has to carry a penalty for that success but extra furlong should suit here.

Dewberry^t⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: M D Grant| T: G Deacon

250/1

Well beaten in bumpers and a similar result on hurdling debut here in November. Subsequently pulled up and looks likely to struggle here.

Form: 57-0

Joy's Spirit⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr H Hunt⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Henderson

12/1

Finished 20L fifth in a point-to-point bumper at Barbury Castle in January and behind when falling over 2m4f in a point-to-point subsequently. Makes her rules debut for a leading stable here.

Form: 5F

Katy P⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White

7/2

Placed in a couple of bumpers including for this yard at Warwick in November. Stepped up on her hurdling debut (seventh) when finishing third at Hereford in January. Interesting if repeating that effort here.

Listen For Me²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Webber

33/1

Pulled up in two point-to-point efforts but caught the eye when running on well late on in a similar event at Whitfield last month. This likely to prove tougher but worth a check in the market on her rules debut.

Form: P/P28-3

Little Acorn⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry

15/8

Finished fourth behind a useful mare at Taunton over 2m3f in February when last seeing the track. Previously hadn't been beaten far in an extended 1m7f novice hurdle and represents a top stable in this.

Form: 47/5544-

Royal Debutante¹²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber| OR: 108

9/2

Placed twice here over hurdles including when runner-up over an extended 2m3f on good-to-soft ground in November but well beaten off a mark of 110 subsequently. Likely to run well returning to this track.

Form: 8/32731-

She Told You So^h¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Stock⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Wall

300/1

Well beaten in a bumper and pulled up on hurdling debut at Ludlow in January. Beaten 47L in a six runner event subsequently and she's likely to fair better once tackling handicaps.

Form:

Sugar Storm^t1¹⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Shoemark| T: F O'Brien

66/1

Well beaten in two bumpers including a mares Listed event at Cheltenham on her debut. Looks up against it in first time tongue tie on hurdles debut.

Form: 0055-

Time Wise⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Ian Popham| T: R T Phillips

250/1

Beaten over 140L when making her hurdling debut at Warwick in December and pulled up over C&D subsequently. Plenty to prove here.

Forecasts

Little Acorn (15/8), Just Milly (10/3), Katy P (7/2), Royal Debutante (9/2), Joy's Spirit (12/1), Listen For Me (33/1), Sugar Storm (66/1), Time Wise (250/1), Dewberry (250/1), She Told You So (300/1)

LITTLE ACORN can take this opening mares novice hurdle having run well behind a useful rival at Taunton a couple of months ago. The selection hails from a yard with a 50% strike rate (8/16) in recent weeks and she can get the better of Royal Debutante who returns to novice company here following a handicap defeat last time out. Of the remainder Joy's Spirit represents a leading yard while the consistent Katy P is another to note in this.
