Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR:  129
6/1
Third in Listed company at Newbury in December and matched that performance back there over 2m4½f (soft) last time out when scoring by 4L. Looks capable of stepping up to this level and being competitive on that evidence.

Horse silk
Banjo Girl36
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: L P Aspell| T: L Wadham| OR:  119
12/1
Has won novices' contests at both Southwell and Fakenham at around 2m this season and was not beaten far under a penalty at Leicester last time. Back up in trip here, which may enable her to eek out improvement. Will need some.

Horse silk
If You Say Runt48
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: P F Nicholls| OR:  130
4/1
Has made a very promising start to her career, winning twice at up to 2m3½f since going hurdling this season. Well beaten in Listed company last time, but if she can return to the form of her Wincanton win then she has decent claims.
4
Horse silk
3/1
Improving mare who has put together two wins at Ludlow (both 2m, soft) in recent months, the latter under a penalty. Step up in looks a good move on pedigree and she may well take another step forward this time. Contender.
5
Horse silk
Midnight Tunet27
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A J Honeyball| OR:  125
5/1
Has made good progress this term, winning at Wincanton (2m5½f, soft) and Kempton (3m, soft). Stopped very quickly in this grade at Ascot last time, but can be forgiven one off day and should not be dismissed lightly here.
6
Horse silk
Naranja28
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR:  120| D
10/1
Another who is making strides forward this season and she followed up her November Lingfield win with success on her handicap debut at Chepstow (2m3½f, heavy) last time. Up 8lb and in grade here and needs to raise her game again.
Maiden after five starts, though just one of those over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m4½f, soft) last time. While that was a commendable effort, she is going to need a decent amount of improvement for it to take a hand at this level.
8
Horse silk
Redemption Songp147
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: K Frost| OR:  119| BF
16/1
Wasn't disgraced at this level in an Aintree bumper last year and made a good start over hurdles when winning a Market Rasen maiden (2m4½f, good to soft) in November. Respectable efforts under penalties since then, but has a bit to find.
9
Horse silk
Sensulano22
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: Noel Williams| OR:  126
13/2
Has stepped up on some solid bumper form over hurdles this year and won a 2m5f mares' novices' contest at Warwick (heavy) last month, despite looking a bit awkward. Potential for more from her and she is respected now upped in grade.
10
Horse silk
50/1
Has been making gradual improvement in a truncated first three runs of her career. Beaten 19L on hurdles debut at Doncaster last time and, although she might better that today, she needs an awful lot more to make an impact in this field.

Forecasts

Melangerie (3/1), If You Say Run (4/1), Midnight Tune (5/1), All Currencies (6/1), Sensulano (13/2), Naranja (10/1), Banjo Girl (12/1), Oh Michelle (14/1), Redemption Song (16/1), Viking Queen (50/1)

14:25 Sandown - 16 February 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A good contest in prospect and although the bare form of her Ludlow wins is not the best on offer here, the step up in trip can help MELANGERIE improve and that might be sufficient to complete a hat-trick. Both If You Say Run and Midnight Tune would have decent claims if they can put disappointing last efforts behind them, while All Currencies and Sensulano are others that merit closer inspection.
  1. Melangerie
  2. Midnight Tune
  3. If You Say Run
