Stainsby Girl⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Whillans⁽³⁾| T: D W Whillans| CD

11/4

Won very easily by 17L here on debut (soft) in December. Is the trainer's sole winner in this discipline this season, but if she can come up with a similar effort, when she will be tough to beat despite her penalty.

Form: 1

Aurora Thunder⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Blair Campbell⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

15/2

Not devoid of ability in three starts so far, including on good/fast ground. However, needs a fair amount of improvement to be a genuine challenger here.

Form: 634

Colorado Gold³⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin⁽⁷⁾| T: D Bourke

50/1

Well held in a point-to-point and then on her debut in this discipline at Catterick last March, when with Tom Lacey. Has since changed hands and can only watch after 11-months off.

Form: 45-

Fair Minx

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Rachel McDonald⁽⁵⁾| T: A M ThomsonWS

14/1

First foal. Dam point/2m7f-3m2f chase winner, out of point winner. Has had wind surgery prior to this debut. Trainer 0-4 in bumpers this season (usually 19%). Market check advised.

Form:

Mrs Davies⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish

3/1

Has shown some ability in point-to-points and was bought for £30,000 in December. In good hands, and trainer is 29% in this sphere over the past five seasons. Could make a good debut.

Form: F2

Red Reminder³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: C Grant

66/1

50-1 and well held on debut in a Kelso bumper (good) last month. Others make greater appeal coming into this.

Form: 8

Tortuga Bay^t1³²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Lucy Alexander| T: J Ewart

5/1

Won on debut in a point-to-point last April and cost £60,000 a few days later. Makes debut for a trainer who is without a bumper winner this season, but not written off. Wears tongue-tie.

Form: 1-

Apache Valley

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ewart

9/1

First foal of a triple 3m hurdle winner who is a half-sister to two Flat winners. Stablemate of Tortuga Bay and market can guide, although this filly perhaps second string on jockey bookings.

Form:

Paris Dixie⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Miss J A Camacho

13/2

Modest form in three runs so far, despite twice making the frame. Needs plenty of improvement.

Form: 033

Forecasts

Stainsby Girl (11/4), Mrs Davies (3/1), Tortuga Bay (5/1), Prussia With Love (6/1), Paris Dixie (13/2), Lugg River (7/1), Aurora Thunder (15/2), Apache Valley (9/1), Fair Minx (14/1), Colorado Gold (50/1), Red Reminder (66/1)

STAINSBY GIRL sluiced up here on debut and if she returns in that sort of mood then she is going to be very tough to topple despite the 7lb penalty she carries. Prussia With Love and Mrs Davies are both interesting newcomers for whom a win would not be a huge shock, representing stables with good record in this sphere.
