Getariver^t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

5/2

Having won a Point-to-point, did well to overcome the drop back to 1m6f to land her Bumper (both on good). More to come for top yard.

Form: 11

Delta Rose

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

16/1

Robin Des Champs mare that fetched €34,000 as a three-year-old. Dam was useful over hurdles and market check needed on rules debut.

Form:

Dylan's Sea Song⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: M D I Usher

100/1

Dylan Thomas mare that was 50/1 when tailed off on Newbury debut in January when she lost a shoe. Hard to fancy on the back of that.

Form: 8

Glasha's Peak⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

13/2

Half-sister to the useful Peggie's Venture (placed at Listed level in bumpers). Ran well when fourth on debut at Taunton and will be of interest if able to build on that now.

Form: 4

Henrietta Bell¹²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: H Whittington

11/2

Runner-up in a mares' maiden Irish point-to-point on testing ground. Shaped with plenty of promise on rules debut at Aintree in October and has place claims at least if able to build on that now.

Form: 2-4

Highdawn

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr M Legg⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs F M Shaw

40/1

Alflora mare that cost €19,000 as a three-year-old. Sister to useful hurdler Aegean Dawn. Dam unraced half-sister to Gold Cup winner Cool Dawn.

Form:

Lady In Hiding

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood

9/2

Stowaway mare who's price rose from €5,000 as a foal to €28,000 as a four-year-old. Dam was a useful bumper winner and market check needed here on debut.

Form:

Nonesuch³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen⁽³⁾| T: N J Henderson| BF

9/1

Cost €155,000 as a three-year-old. Half-sister to four winners including some useful ones and out of a dam who was a Grade 1 French winning hurdler. Held on both starts to date but still early days and could be progress to unlock.

Form: 35

Oyster Perch⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R H Buckler

66/1

Related to a few hurdles winners but on breeding, she'll want a bit of time and more of a trip. Outpaced and never on terms on debut at Taunton.

Form: 7

Ruby Ring⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: B Pauling

25/1

Sulamani half-sister to a point-to-point winner and dam comes from a good family. Well held on debut but leading rider keeps the faith and could be improvement to come.

Form: 8

Atlantic Sunshine

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: T E Whelan| T: Mrs N S Evans

100/1

Fight Club filly; dam was a flat winner in Germany but a maiden over hurdles. Yard 0/8 in this sphere so far and others have stronger claims.

Form:

Lovely Jubbly

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Phelan

20/1

Harbour Watch filly who cost just £600 as a two-year-old. Related to plenty of winners on the flat. Yard 1/22 in this sphere.

Form:

Swincombe Wiz

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard

13/2

Westerner filly. Dam winner over fences at 2m3f and half-sister to useful performers Swincombe Flame and Swincombe Scorchio. Market good guide to expectations on debut.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Getariver (5/2), Lady In Hiding (9/2), Henrietta Bell (11/2), Glasha's Peak (13/2), Swincombe Wiz (13/2), Anightinlambourn (8/1), Nonesuch (9/1), Delta Rose (16/1), Lovely Jubbly (20/1), Ruby Ring (25/1), Ivy's Shadow (25/1), Highdawn (40/1), Oyster Perch (66/1), Dylan's Sea Song (100/1), Atlantic Sunshine (100/1)

As always with these contests the market will be a useful guide. GETARIVER made a lovely winning start at Ludlow and should be better at this trip. Glasha's Peak may well chase her home. Newcomers Lady In Hiding and Swincombe Wiz are worthy of market checks.
