Selected odds by:

Angels Antics¹⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Bargary⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

6/1

Subject of market support on her debut in a bumper here (good) back in May and shaped nicely behind the impressive Storm of Intrigue. Looks sure to make her mark over hurdles and very much one to consider.

Form: 2

Arian²⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: J L Flint

3/1

Displayed huge improvement on her third start at Bangor when taking a competitive-looking bumper and showed up well on her hurdling bow at Lingfield (2m4f, heavy) before falling two out. Can build on that.

Form: 6/51F-

Bonnie Black Rose^h1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A J Whiting

100/1

Nice enough pedigree, but has been beaten huge distances at long odds in all three starts spanning over two years. Hard to make a credible case for.

Form: 0/05

Grania O'Malley¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| BF

6/4

Has shown remarkable consistency in bumper events, finishing a runner-up on all four occasions. Has handled soft ground and it's unlikely to be long before she finds a race over hurdles. Shortlist material.

Form: 22-22

Hollow Park¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Katy Price

40/1

Runner-up in an Irish maiden mares' point-to-point in February but only limited promise shown in a series of novice hurdle events since over further than this. Likely to fare better when sent handicapping.

Form: 20F-74

Moontripper⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: P C Dando| OR: 85

40/1

Shown her strongest form in point-to-points, and barring a runner-up effort in a 2m2½f Newton Abbot mares maiden hurdle in June, she hasn't shown much under rules. Readily opposed in this company.

Form: P25558

Queen Of The Wind¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard

33/1

Half-sister to a couple of useful winners but unfancied and soundly beaten when making her debut in a Stratford bumper on good ground last month. Likely to do better over hurdles in time but possibly best watched for now.

Form: 0

Waiheke

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: L Heard| T: P Hobbs & J White

7/1

A half-sister to the fair winning chaser Todareistodo. Unraced in bumpers, she makes a racecourse debut with her powerful yard recently amongst the winners and positive market vibes would make her interesting.

Form:

Woolstone One^h1³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: Miss E C Lavelle

3/1

Looked a really promising sort when winning her first two bumpers for Harry Fry but raced with little zest on her hurdling debut at Worcester last month following a long absence. Has since changed yards and the introduction of a hood may help.

Form: 110/6

Forecasts

Grania O'Malley (6/4), Woolstone One (3/1), Arian (3/1), Angels Antics (6/1), Waiheke (7/1), Cooperess (20/1), Queen Of The Wind (33/1), Moontripper (40/1), Hollow Park (40/1), Bonnie Black Rose (100/1)

Probably a decent maiden hurdle and it will be interesting to see if a switch of yards and a first-time hood can reinvigorate Woolstone One following a disappointing reappearance. Arian showed up well for a long way on her hurdles debut at Lingfield but it would be no surprise if useful bumper performers Grania O'Malley or ANGELS ANTICS had her measure on their respective hurdling debut's, with preference for the latter who is likely to relish this easier surface.
