11/10

Wore cheekpieces (retained since) when the impressive 20L winner over a novice contest at Southwell (good) in May. Decent effort despite finishing third of four subsequently and looks a leading contender once more.

Form: 952-313

Bella's Vision¹⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: R T Phillips

66/1

Well beaten in a couple of bumpers late last year and it was a similar story on hurdling debut at Exeter (2m1f, soft) in February. Probably best watched on her return from a break.

Form: 008-

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill

7/1

Finished 8L second in a point-to-point at Portrush (good-to-yielding) in May. Bought for £15,000 subsequently and interesting to see how she fares on Rules debut.

Form: S2

Sheila Tanist^h,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Kielan Woods| T: B I Case

16/1

Winner of a four runner point-to-point in March. Fair form under Rules since but more needed if she's to take this contest.

Form: FU1-086

Thelunarschooner²⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: R Johnson| T: W Greatrex| BF

6/4

Bumper winner on first start for this yard last August and ran well to finish runner-up over an extended 1m7f at Towcester (good-to-firm) last October. Of interest on her seasonal debut.

Form: 7/0162-

Reason To Believe²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: T Scudamore| T: D G Bridgwater

20/1

Attempted to make all when finishing 19L fourth on hurdling debut at Worcester (2m, good-to-firm) earlier this month. Likely to have improved for the experience.

Forecasts

Grania O'Malley (11/10), Thelunarschooner (6/4), Kiruna Peak (5/1), Pottlereaghexpress (7/1), Sheila Tanist (16/1), Reason To Believe (20/1), Bella's Vision (66/1)

GRANIA O'MALLEY can register her second hurdling success in this novices' contest restricted to mares. The selection has winning form on the forecast good ground and can get the better of Thelunarschooner who is returning from an absence. Third place can go the way of Pottlereaghexpress who is making her hurdling debut.
