Vereina¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan Johns| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 95| CD

25/1

Relished the testing conditions when scoring over C&D and at Bangor last November. However, she's failed to complete on each of her last 3 starts, including when pulled up on recent reappearance here.

Form: 115UP-P

Jessie Lightfoot¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 93

9/2

Seemed to show plenty of ability when fourth on Leicester hurdle debut/reappearance last December. Has failed to build on that since, though, and she has a bit to prove now.

Form: 67/497-6

The Feckenham Fox²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: James Davies| T: M Young| OR: 93

18/1

Little impact in 3 runs between the flags, and hasn't pulled up any trees in as many starts under Rules in maiden/novice hurdles. Big step forward needed up in trip on this handicap debut.

Form: PF/3-077

Dharma Rain^p,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: J McGrath| T: C Hobson| OR: 91

12/1

Form is patchy and first career win over 19.2f at Fontwell last time was owing to the six that finished in front of her being disqualified for taking the wrong course. Others preferred.

Form: 75/2P3-1

Shallow Run^p,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 90

15/2

Best effort yet under Rules when second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) upped to 21.2f on Sedgefield handicap debut last month. Nudged up just 1 lb and she's one for the shortlist.

Form: 4038-02

Coachella Green^p1,t1³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Alain Cawley| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 88

16/1

Winner of a maiden point back in April 2017, but has offered little in 3 starts under Rules for 2 different yards. Hard to warm to here, for all that going up in trip for this handicap bow may help.

Form: 1PF/0P-6

Splash The Cash³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 87

9/2

Yet to pick up a race, but she closed off last season with a decent effort at Wetherby. Sedgefield (21.2f) reappearance spin was probably needed and, now 2 lb lower, she's not without hope.

Form: 36853-7

Kalaya^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 86

18/1

Just about produced her best effort yet over hurdles when third in a heavy-ground Fontwell handicap (19.2f) last time, but was one of half-a-dozen that took the wrong course and were disqualified.

Form: 7834-PD

Something Rosie^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Dave Crosse| T: O Signy| OR: 85

40/1

Placed in Irish points, but little in the way of promise under Rules in mares' maiden/novice hurdles. Handicap debut.

Form: 56/2-868

Ainmisfearr³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 85

40/1

Modest maiden for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland and well held on debut for new yard at Hexham (16.2f) last month.

Form: 00-3608

Getaway Flyer^t1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: D Brace| OR: 83| D

14/1

Dual winner between the flags, but no impact in 4 starts under Rules. Tongue strap enlisted now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 21/15-96

Just Henny^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 82

4/1

Failed to make an impact in novice events, but showed more when first past the post on recent handicap debut over 19.2f at Fontwell (subsequently disqualified for taking wrong course). Merits respect.

Form: 2/08P-7D

Barton Rose¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 75| CD

28/1

Winless since scoring over fences here in 2017 and beaten a long way back in this sphere at Ludlow recently.

Form: P73-FP0

Glencoum Lass²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: James Bowen| T: T Lawes| OR: 74

12/1

Maiden Irish pointer who will need to leave efforts in novice hurdles well behind if she's to make an impact on this handicap bow.

Form: 452/P-85

Smashing Lass²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: R D Day| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 72

40/1

Poor performer on the Flat who remains with little worthwhile form over hurdles.

Form: 49-0608

Someone You Love^t1¹²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 71

40/1

Shown next to nothing in trio of novice hurdles and hopes pinned on combination of first-time tongue strap, step up in trip and switch to a handicap sparking exponential improvement.

Form: P00

Dr Jane^p1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: James Best| T: R Walford| OR: 70

33/1

Not badly bred but looks limited judged on what she's shown in maiden/novice hurdles at up to 18.5f. Cheekpieces applied for this handicap debut.

Form: 9P0

Rann Of Kutch³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 68

100/1

Appears to be of little account, if anything taking a step backwards on handicap bow at Sedgefield.

Form: 6-697P

Annieareyouok²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Huw Edwards⁽⁷⁾| T: M Young| OR: 67

100/1

Showed nothing for her former stable and pulled up on return/debut for new yard in Plumpton selling handicap.

Form: P40-P

Forecasts

Just Henny (4/1), Jessie Lightfoot (9/2), Splash The Cash (9/2), Shallow Run (15/2), Glencoum Lass (12/1), Dharma Rain (12/1), Getaway Flyer (14/1), Coachella Green (16/1), Kalaya (18/1), The Feckenham Fox (18/1), Vereina (25/1), Barton Rose (28/1), Dr Jane (33/1), Smashing Lass (40/1), Something Rosie (40/1), Ainmisfearr (40/1), Someone You Love (40/1), Rann Of Kutch (100/1), Annieareyouok (100/1)

In a race bigger on quantity than quality, SHALLOW RUN could be the answer. She took a step forward with cheekpieces enlisted when hitting the crossbar at Sedgefield and will surely go close if at least matching that form here. Splash The Cash is feared most ahead of Just Henny and Kalaya, both of whom seemingly improved when first and third past the post respectively at Fontwell last time.
