She's Gina¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J McGrath| T: J W Mullins| OR: 111| D

5/2

Good effort to finish second in a competitive race at Wincanton last time. Up 1lb, but is likely to produce another solid effort under her regular pilot.

Form: 0571F2

Llantara^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 108| D

10/3

Off the mark when bolting up on heavy ground at Towcester by 15 lengths. This sharper track and better going pose a different challenge and she has to cope with an 11lb rise.

Form: 270251

Red Four⁷²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 105| D

66/1

Three wins from seven starts over hurdles, but she has been off the track for two years so has clearly had some issues. Best watched on this return to action.

Form: 33711P/

Sue Be It^t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: J E Moore| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 102

15/2

Without a win over hurdles after nine attempts and latest efforts at this venue and Plumpton did not suggest that is about to change. Handicap mark is falling, however.

Form: 2-8U255

Shroughmore Lass⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 102| D

11/4

Only win over timber came at Chepstow in November, but she is a consistent sort who has run well since then. That said, she has been beaten three times off this mark so she needs to find something extra.

Form: 671342

Flight To Nowhere^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: L Heard| T: R J Price| OR: 98| D

13/2

Off the mark at the 10th attempt when scoring in clear-cut style at Chepstow. Handicapper has raised her 10lb which slightly tempers enthusiasm.

Form: 48F481

Nicely Done^t¹³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: P J Brennan| T: S Durack| OR: 92

16/1

Out of the frame in three starts in bumpers and four over hurdles. Makes her handicap debut and needs to step up on what she has achieved so far.

Form: 454990

Forecasts

She's Gina (5/2), Shroughmore Lass (11/4), Llantara (10/3), Flight To Nowhere (13/2), Sue Be It (15/2), Nicely Done (16/1), Red Four (66/1)

Llantara and Flight To Nowhere both won last time, but the handicapper has had his say and they face stiff tasks off their revised marks so the selection is top-weight SHE'S GINA, who ran well in a more valuable contest last time and is up only 1lb. Red Four is worth keeping an eye on as she returns from two years off the track, while the consistent Shroughmore Lass is likely to figure.
