Selected odds by:

Max O¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Armson

100/1

Has won a pair of point-to-points but regressed in that sphere and tailed off at 66/1 on 3m debut over hurdles so readily passed over.

Form: 332-P46

Monzino⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 72

100/1

No ability under either code and veteran who is impossible to make any sort of case for.

Form: 63/4P8R-

Winding Roe²⁷

9/4

Initially his second at Cartmel last time looked disappointing but the horse who beat him has won again since and looks a decent prospect so that form can be upgraded. Wind operation since as well.

Form: 3-32

Dorette²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Dave Crosse| T: O Murphy

20/1

Lost a shoe last time so that may account for poor looking run. Stepping up in trip and may do better when handicapping after this. Trainer also has the bottom one but this one ridden by owner's retained jockey.

Form: 13-39

Jane Lamb^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 110| BF

7/4

Placed twice in four runs over hurdles though hasn't finished her races off strongly in previous runs at this trip so trip a slight worry.

Form: 25/3-229

Seeubackincoppers¹⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

20/1

Upsides when falling two out in point-to-point in Ireland on second start. Sold since for £10,000 and now making debut under rules. Market should guide.

Form: PF-

Smart Getaway¹³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy

7/4

Similar level of form in trio of bumpers and showed similar ability when second on hurdling bow. Now joined Olly Murphy for £6,500 and Champion jockey takes over in the saddle.

Form: 64/32-

Forecasts

Smart Getaway (7/4), Jane Lamb (7/4), Winding Roe (9/4), Seeubackincoppers (20/1), Dorette (20/1), Max O (100/1), Monzino (100/1)

The Cartmel second of WINDING ROE looks better with the winner having gone in again since and if the wind operation brings about improvement he can get off the mark. Smart Getaway may step up on her Fontwell second for this yard and looks the main danger with Jane Lamb next in.
