8/1

Debut for Yeats mare who was a £20,000 purchase last May. Dam was a decent performer over hurdles and fences so should win races in due course.

Kilcullen Bellamy⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Lewis Gordon| T: Evan Williams

10/1

Won Irish point-to-point in December in which only two finished. First start for new connections and may need a run or two to acclimatise to this sphere.

Form: F-1

Mrs Miggins⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe

12/1

Led for much of the way and eventually finished a fair third on debut at Exeter in January. Yard does very well at this track and any market support would enhance her chance.

Form: 3

Rosy World²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Miss S Smith

1/1

Shirocco mare out of good jumping dam. Failed by only head to make a winning debut at Ascot last month and looks to have been found a winnable opportunity to get off the mark on that evidence.

Form: 2

Theatre Mix¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mrs Jo Supple⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Du Plessis

50/1

Homebred Fair Mix mare, fourth in a point-to-point flat race and now makes Rules debut. Looks up against it and likely to need more time.

Form: 4

Cedar Valley

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

5/1

32,000 euros daughter of Flemensfirth from a decent female jumps line. Wouldn't need to be a world beater to figure on debut representing top connections.

Form:

Mechelen^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Michael Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe

12/1

Malinas filly out of dam who won race on the Flat, over hurdles and fences. Any market move for her would be significant. Wears a hood for this racecourse debut.

Form:

Sienna Royale

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: C Gethings| T: N J Hawke

25/1

£10,000 filly by Sholokhov, half-sister to three individual jumps winners. Bred to win races and may be ready to go first time. Worth a market check for any ineterst.

Form:

Wilde Spirit⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

10/1

10,000 euros daughter of Oscar, half-sister to two individual winners. Yard in fine form of late (3-8 over the last fortnight) and a bold display wouldn't be anything of a surprise.

Form: 84

Forecasts

Rosy World (1/1), Definitelyanoscar (9/4), Cedar Valley (5/1), Cushuish (8/1), Kilcullen Bellamy (10/1), Wilde Spirit (10/1), Mechelen (12/1), Mrs Miggins (12/1), Sienna Royale (25/1), Theatre Mix (50/1)

Quite a few unknown quantities here but the form shown by ROSY WORLD on debut when narrowly beaten at Ascot very much sets the standard. Cedar Valley, Wilde Spriit , Mechelen, and Definitelyanoscar could all prove capable of getting involved, so this really is a race in which positive and neagtive market moves are well worth taking into consideration.
