Selected odds by:

Ask The Lady³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

9/1

Ask mare. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (2½m-3m winner) Uimhiraceathair. Placed twice from 4 starts in points, including latest (Oct 25). Makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 624-3

Blue Bikini²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

25/1

Showed ability when fourth in a bumper at Warwick on debut, albeit seeming in need of a stiffer test, so this sharp track is unlikely to suit.

Form: 4

Booley Beach²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington| BF

4/1

Out of a bumper winner and, having been strong in the betting, made a positive start when a strong-travelling second at Musselburgh on debut. This is a stronger contest but she's open to improvement.

Form: 2

Burrows Treat

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry

8/1

Muhtathir filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler Burrows Edge and useful hurdler Burrows Park. dam, 1¾m winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser De Boitron. Noteworthy newcomer.

Form:

Chantilly Haze

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: P C Dando

100/1

Black Sam Bellamy mare. Dam (h145) bumper/2m-2¾m hurdle winner. Stable not known for winning newcomers.

Form:

Clara's Lily

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R J Price

125/1

Dream Eater filly. Dam ran twice in bumpers. Doesn't make much appeal.

Form:

Groovy Kind

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

5/1

£44,000 3-y-o, Masked Marvel filly. Dam 19f chase winner. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

Form:

Jaunty Freyja²⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: B Eckley

11/1

Related to winners and showed a fair bit to work on when a staying-on third (went in snatches) at Taunton 8 months ago. Should have learned from that, so could take a hand if she's tuned up.

Form: 3-

Lady Malarkey²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott

100/1

Bred for longer trips and seemed in need of experience when seventh in at Warwick on debut. Unlikely to feature.

Form: 7

Lexi's Choice

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

14/1

Presenting filly. Half-sister to 5 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser Johns Spirit, stayed 3m, and smart hurdler/very smart chaser The Game Changer. One for the longer term.

Form:

Lily Glitters³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly

28/1

Cheap Shirocco filly who showed a bit when fourth at Taunton on debut but will probably be outclassed here.

Form: 4

Little Peachey³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Du Plessis

40/1

Bred to show more further down the line but was readily left behind by the principals when fifth in a bumper at Newton Abbot on debut. Hard to fancy.

Form: 5

Meadowsweet

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson

10/3

€46,000 3-y-o, Getaway filly. Dam (h95), 2m/17f hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Emcon. Of obvious interest on debut.

Form:

Millie Round

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

20/1

Fame And Glory filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser The Flame. Noteworthy newcomer, though he's likely to need more time.

Form:

Rose Ohara

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: Jamie Snowden

17/2

Kayf Tara filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Rose To Fame. Dam (h120), bumper/2m-2¾m hurdle winner, sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Twelve Roses. Makes appeal on paper.

Form:

What A Pleasure³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss H C Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Down

150/1

Half-sister to a bumper but debut at Taunton was short of promise. Up against it.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Meadowsweet (10/3), Booley Beach (4/1), Groovy Kind (5/1), Burrows Treat (8/1), Rose Ohara (17/2), Ask The Lady (9/1), Jaunty Freyja (11/1), Lexi's Choice (14/1), Millie Round (20/1), Blue Bikini (25/1), Lily Glitters (28/1), Little Peachey (40/1), Chantilly Haze (100/1), Lady Malarkey (100/1), Clara's Lily (125/1), What A Pleasure (150/1)

ASK THE LADY has gained plenty of experience in points and now starts out for a stable with a terrific record in bumpers, so a bold showing is expected. This looks a potentially strong race, however, and there'll likely be fierce opposition from the likes of form-pick Booley Beach and Meadowsweet, who makes plenty of appeal on paper.
