Selected odds by:

Ballinamona Flyer⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: A Phillips

40/1

Has raced eight times in point-to-points where she was unable to taste success. Her best effort came two starts back when she was second of seven at Stradbally (3m). One to watch on her British debut under Rules.

Form: 4P5-32P

Bluebell Sally⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: C J Gray

33/1

Point-to-point winner who has had two runs under Rules now. She was fourth of seven on her debut at Newton Abbot (2m5½f), while she then finished sixth of 12 at that same track over 2m2½f. Needs to improve.

Form: 22U646

Dorette^b1²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Dave Crosse| T: O Murphy| OR: 97

12/1

Won a bumper on her debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f) but since campaigning over hurdles, she has struggled. She was pulled-up on her latest attempt at Southwell (2m4½f). Has blinkers on for the first time here. Not to be discounted.

Form: 13-39P

Lucky Purchase^h1⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner

50/1

Makes her hurdles debut here following two modest runs in bumpers. She was last of five on her opening start at Newton Abbot (2m1f) and then improved to come home fourth of seven over that same C&D. Hood on for the first time here. One to watch.

Form: 54

Pogo I Am⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry

1/1

Has shown some promise in her four starts so far where she has shaped like she will appreciate this step up in distance. She was fourth of seven last time at Ffos Las (2m). Leading contender here.

Form: 623-4

Saintbury Lady⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'BrienWS

28/1

Has had two starts under Rules now. She started at Fontwell (2m1½f) in a bumper where she finished fourth of five, while last time, she was eighth of nine over hurdles at Southwell (1m7½f). First run since wind-op. Best watched.

Form: P-48

Teeton Power^v1¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss Kelly Morgan| OR: 100

7/2

Point-to-point winner who is making her debut over hurdles here. Her most recent effort came over fences at Market Rasen (3m) where she was fourth of nine. Steps down in trip here. Has to be respected.

Form: S1P-634

Charlotte Du Berry¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁷⁾| T: Christian Williams

100/1

Has failed to shine in her two starts so far. She unseated her rider on her debut here over 2m on debut, while last time, she came home 10th of 12 at Market Rasen (2m½f). Difficult to make a case for.

Form: U-0

Foxy Singer¹⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J McGrath| T: C Hobson

40/1

Was fourth of six on her debut at Hereford (2m) when going off at 5/1. She has since scored in a point-to-point at Kingston Blount (2m5f). Having her first run for her new yard here. One to consider.

Form: 41-

Lexi^t1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy

40/1

Has struggled on both of her appearances over hurdles. She was third of four at Market Rasen (2m4½f) on her debut, while on her latest start, she was pulled-up at Southwell (2m4½f). Tongue-tie on for first time here. Needs to improve.

Form: 3P

Sitron⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 95

3/1

Produced her best performance to date last time in four starts when she was third of eight at this track over 2m. Stepping up in trip here which makes here interesting. Has each-way claims if she builds on her latest attempt.

Form: 5F43

Non-Runners

Carpool⁴⁰

Weight: 11-0| Age: 5

T: Evan Williams J: Isabel Williams

Forecasts

Pogo I Am (1/1), Sitron (3/1), Teeton Power (7/2), Dorette (12/1), Carpool (12/1), Saintbury Lady (28/1), Bluebell Sally (33/1), Lexi (40/1), Ballinamona Flyer (40/1), Foxy Singer (40/1), Lucky Purchase (50/1), Charlotte Du Berry (100/1)

POGO I AM has performed well so far over hurdles but this distance is likely to suit her better as the shorter trips were just on the sharp side for her. Take the mare to break her maiden at the fifth attempt in this. Teeton Power is making her debut over hurdles but from what she has shown so far over fences, you'd have to expect her to be in the mix, while more can be expected of Carpool on her third start over hurdles.
