4/1

Doncaster juvenile winner in March and also scored on Flat in July. Off 12 weeks, possibly just needed run when fifth in 17f Carlisle handicap back hurdling last week. Good claimer offsets penalty.

Form: 931-5

Timetoroe⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Brodie Hampson⁽³⁾| T: A Watson

4/1

Failed to progress in bumpers last term but back on track with all-the-way win in 2m Bangor mares' novice hurdle in August. That form nothing special so will likely need more under penalty.

Form: 1/2399-1

Epaneema²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Lee Edwards| T: K Frost

125/1

Fair maiden at best on Flat (stays 1½m) on the Flat in Ireland but well held for this yard in 2020. Hurdle debut.

2/1

Made winning debut in Southwell bumper in September. Failed to meet expectations on hurdles bow at Market Rasen but could easily leave that bare form well behind now.

Form: 15

Invincible Sea^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Dave Crosse| T: Mrs L C Jewell

300/1

Modest form at best on the Flat and hasn't shown much in a couple of runs over hurdles.

Form: 9-0

Midnight Ginger³⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

7/4

Taking winner on bumper debut last December. Only fourth in Market Rasen listed event the following month but still rates a decent hurdle prospect for her leading yard.

Form: 14-

Midnight Mary²⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: T J O'Brien| T: S Edmunds

28/1

Only minor promise in a couple of bumpers last spring so doesn't strike as an obvious type to make a winning start over hurdles.

Form: 56-

Forecasts

Midnight Ginger (7/4), Go Chique (2/1), Kobra (5/2), Champagne Terri (4/1), Timetoroe (4/1), Midnight Mary (28/1), Epaneema (125/1), Invincible Sea (300/1)

GO CHIQUE made her hurdles bow in what has turned out to be a good race and can leave that bare form behind for a top yard with an excellent strike-rate here. Midnight Ginger showed more than enough in bumpers last term to suggest she can make her presence felt in a race like this now hurdling, while German Flat recruit Kobra is likely better than she showed at Leicester on Monday..
