Melangerie^h²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson

6/1

Made a big step forward last time out on her first two runs in bumpers looking a far different horse on that start. Will need to improve again to defy a penalty even coming from a stable that does very well in this sphere.

Form:

Pique Rock^h1¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

7/2

Should be capable of more than she has shown so far after a first run that she had some ability in a Listed bumper. Didn't have the best experience when fifth in a Bangor bumper (travelled well for much of the journey) and would not be a surprise to see her build on those two runs here.

Form: 956-

The Wicket Chicken¹³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N D Fehily| T: N P Mulholland

10/3

Irish point-to-point winner who showed promise on her bumper debut but ran too freely on her subsequent start at Carlisle. The soft ground may not have suited that day and she remains with a positive profile.

Form: 1353-

Grania O'Malley³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

10/3

Yard area little quiet at the moment but this one did show ability and no little promise on her debut when second at Southwell. That form has yet to be tested but the winner was more experienced and she enters the mix here.

Form: 22-

La Fille Francaise³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: C Poste| T: R Dickin

20/1

Poor form so far in bumpers with two outings five months apart offering only minor promise and far more needed here.

Form: 6

Mark's Folly

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

3/1

Dam was closely related to high class hurdler and smart chaser Accordian Etoile. Stable has plenty of success in this sphere and one to view positively if the market speaks in her favour.

Form: 5-

Non-Runners

Oriental Cross

Weight: 10-9| Age: 4

Forecasts

Mark's Folly (3/1), Grania O'Malley (10/3), The Wicket Chicken (10/3), Pique Rock (7/2), Melangerie (6/1), Oriental Cross (8/1), La Fille Francaise (20/1)

An interesting finale with quite a few that you could give a chance to although Melangerie may find it hard to give away the penalty to some useful types. If the stable was in better form Grania O’Malley would be the selection but they have been a little quiet of late. PIQUE ROCK has shown promise on both her starts and should be able to show some better form that she has so far. Both Mark’s Folly and The Wicket Chicken are worth a market check in a race that may well end up looking decent form.
