Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| CD

13/8

Won both bumpers last season, the first one here on heavy. Should be up to making presence felt in race like this now hurdling.

Form: 11-

Cateline²⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington

22/1

Best effort in bumpers when fourth at Newbury in February but she did enjoy the run of things from the front. Switches to hurdles after 8 months off.

Form: 564-

Coquelicot^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| BF| D

6/5

Triple bumper winner last term, including Kempton listed. Jumping not up to scratch when second on Fontwell hurdle bow last month but could be different proposition with that experience behind her.

Gabrielle Du Seuil^h1⁵⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 120WS

28/1

Fourth bin a couple of hurdles in France in 2019. Taken a bit of time to get her back but is a potential improver for new yard. Has had wind surgery. Also wears a hood.

Form: 4/4-

Gazette Bourgeoise²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case

33/1

Better effort in bumpers 7 months apart when 8 lengths fourth at Aintree weeks ago. Doesn't strike as an obvious type to make a winning start over hurdles.

Form: 7-4

Gold Clermont²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

40/1

Won 3-runner event on sole point start. Some promise when fourth at Hexham on hurdle debut but not in the same form over this C&D since.

Form: 1-40

Legendary Rhythm²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

40/1

Has only hinted at ability in a Sedgefield bumper and C&D maiden hurdle so far.

Form: 5-6

Lemon Hill^t²⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

150/1

Fifth in a couple of maiden hurdles for Jamie Snowden last winter. Improvement will be required if she's to make a successful start for her new trainer Donald McCain.

Form: FU4/55-

Midnight Antics²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: T Collier

250/1

Showed promise on the first of starts in bumpers for Sue Smith in spring 2019 but well held in C&D maiden on last month's return for her new trainer.

Form: 25/0

Minnie Mahler

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: James Best| T: M Young

400/1

£2,000 Mahler mare. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class hurdler/smart chaser (winner up to 25f) Identity Thief. Would be a surprise winner on debut.

Form:

Pure Bliss^t1²⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| DWS

9/2

€100,000 buy after Irish point win and successful rules debut in bumper a year ago. Breathing problem when pulled up at Ascot next time and has had wind op ahead of this hurdle bow. Also tongue tied.

Form: 1/1P-

Forecasts

Coquelicot (6/5), Anythingforlove (13/8), Pure Bliss (9/2), Cateline (22/1), Gabrielle Du Seuil (28/1), Gazette Bourgeoise (33/1), Legendary Rhythm (40/1), Gold Clermont (40/1), Lemon Hill (150/1), Midnight Antics (250/1), Minnie Mahler (400/1)

COQUELICOT was turned over at short odds on her hurdling debut but her jumping could be sharper with that experience behind her and she has to be worth another chance given the level of her bumper form. Hurdle newcomers Anythingforlove and Pure Bliss were also successful in bumpers and could be the pair to give her most to do.
