Selected odds by:

Far Cry⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: H Morrison

20/1

Finished a promising third on debut in an AW bumper at Lingfield in January (runner up an Ascot winner next time), but disappointing latest so has a point to prove now switched to turf for the first time.

Form: 36-

Jimmy's Sister

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton

80/1

Unraced Denounce mare out of an unraced US dam (Sementina); half-sister to 2m-2m3f chase winner Little Jimmy.

Form:

Lady Marwah^h1⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore

9/4

Shown obvious signs of ability on all three starts so far despite shaping as if an increased test of stamina will see her in an even better light. Highly tried; but this is easier as the first time hood is applied.

Form: 749-

Millie Khee^h1

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: Mrs L Pearce

33/1

Hooded unraced tenth foal by Sakhee out of the 1m2f winning dam Cugina. Sister to the useful bumper/hurdle/Flat winner Cousin Khee; so expect the market to be helpful with regards her chance.

Form:

Pine Moss

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Maxime Tissier⁽⁵⁾| T: L Wadham

25/1

Unraced second foal by Shirocco out of a 2m4f-2m7f hurdle winner (Pochard). Half-sister to Hexham bumper winner Emperor Sakhee (Karen McLintock).

Form:

Sheila Tanist^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: B I Case

20/1

Took a weak four runner mares Point-to-Point in March 2018, but never involved on rules debut in a Ludlow bumper last month (2m good).

Form: FU1-0

Skin Deep²¹

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

9/2

Presenting mare who cost £56,000 as a three-year-old (dam a half-sister to Yanworth). Got the message late on debut at Wincanton last month (2m good) when a keeping on 6L third to Lilliput Lane; further progress highly likely.

Form: 3

This Lovely Lady

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: O Murphy

20/1

Unraced seventh foal out of a maiden dam (Princesse Rooney), but is a half-sister to various winners including Miles To Milan (2m3f hurdle/3m chase). One for the future rather than the present.

Form:

Amethea²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling

25/1

Yeats filly who cost €26,000 as a three-year-old, but looked weak on debut at Ludlow last month (weakened) and might well simply need more time in order to progress.

Form: 9

Lancaster Rose⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: S Thomas

50/1

Vendor buy back for £4,500 at three. Plugged on to finish third of six on debut in a modest contest at Catterick in March (2m soft), so likely to find things happening quickly enough at this equally tight track.

Form: 3-

Perfect Myth²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Stan Sheppard⁽³⁾| T: H Whittington

14/1

Has plenty of experience and led for much of the race at Ludlow last month before weakening to finish just over 4L fifth to Lust For Glory. Respected; but others are open to more improvement.

Form: 23-5

Significant Other

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

5/1

Unraced Fame And Glory filly who cost €11,000 as a foal. Out of Etoile Margot, she is a half-sister to four winners including the classy Village Vic and Royal Village. One to watch on pedigree and recent stable form.

Form:

Sunrise Ruby

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: James Bowen⁽³⁾| T: N J Henderson

3/1

Unraced third foal by Sholokhov out of Maryota (half-sister to Yanworth). Cost just €5,200 as a yearling, but with a top trainer and claimer ridden so respected.

Forecasts

Lady Marwah (9/4), Sunrise Ruby (3/1), Skin Deep (9/2), Significant Other (5/1), Perfect Myth (14/1), This Lovely Lady (20/1), Far Cry (20/1), Sheila Tanist (20/1), Amethea (25/1), Pine Moss (25/1), Millie Khee (33/1), Lancaster Rose (50/1), Jimmy's Sister (80/1)

Significant Other (Dan Skelton) and Sunrise Ruby (Nicky Henderson) are notable newcomers whilst the likes of Far Cry, Perfect Myth and Lady Marwah will be winning races once sent over obstacles, but it's difficult to look beyond the Alan King trained SKIN DEEP. She got the message all too late on debut at Wincanton last month, but was spotted making stealthy late progress, and with Wayne Hutchinson taking over in the saddle she's a strong fancy to get off the mark at the second attempt.
