Selected odds by:

Harmonise¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: Miss S West| OR: 103

20/1

Scored on the Flat in October but turned in modest effort back hurdling when only seventh of 11 in 2m handicap (9/1) at Leicester 16 days ago. Up in trip now with work to do.

Form: 55UP/5-7

Cobra Angel²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 99

12/1

Best run over hurdles on handicap debut when fourth in 21f Exeter handicap last month only to run poorly back down in trip there last time. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 46P5-40

Kestrel Valley^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 98| D

17/2

Better than ever to make a winning return at Ffos Las (20f) and in good form until belwo-form fourth there last month. Sort to bounce back so not ruled out.

Form: P3-1344

Kingsmill Gin^h1²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 95

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden who (16/1) was pulled up on handicap bow at Exeter (21.6f) on return 23 days ago. Hooded now with plenty to prove.

Form: 033-P

Tuscan Pearl³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott| OR: 95

22/1

Has hinted at promise over hurdles, and not disgraced when fifth of 15 in 19f handicap at Stratford 37 days ago. Needs another step forward if she's to open her account though.

Form: 36-65

Maliboo⁵⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 93

16/1

Winning pointer who showed ability in two runs at 2m over hurdles when last seen on track 18 months ago. Up in trip for handicap bow on comeback so no forlorn hope and she's worth a market check.

Form: 25F1/43-

Ayr Of Elegance^p⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 91| D

25/1

Opened hurdles account for Henry De Bromhead in Ireland last year, but has yet to fire for new yard, running poorly in a first-time tongue tie at Hereford last time. Hard to warm to.

Form: 7-89880

Balladame¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: T R George| OR: 89

4/1

Improved since handicapping, good second of 11 at Leicester (20.5f) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 779-732

Youvebrokenmydream⁴⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 87

40/1

16/1, much improved form when second in 2m handicap hurdle at Worcester 14 months ago but not seen out since. Up in trip for comeback run with fitness a concern.

Form: 909/852-

Poet's Reflection¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 87

25/1

Modest maiden hurdler who looked in need of run after 9 months off when fading fifth of 14 in 2m handicap (33/1) at Ffos Las 16 days ago. Up in trip and not ruled out with that run under her belt.

Form: 4/5874-5

Peltwell¹⁰⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 86

25/1

Lightly-raced mare who has hinted at promise only to run poorly when pulled up in 22f handicap at Fontwell last time. Has bit to prove now.

Form: 3624-6P

No No Tonic²⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 86

12/1

Unreliable maiden who signed off for last term with good second in first-time cheekpieces in C&D handicap. Back after 9 months off now so others more persuasive.

Form: 765542-

Sawpit Sienna^p,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Aidan Coleman| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 84| D

3/1

Much improved on yard debut (cheekpieces and tongue strap on) when landing 20f Fakenham handicap last month. Hit with 5 lb rise but still lightly raced so not taken lightly.

Form: 5P908-1

Miss Harriett^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Benjamin Poste| T: P Gundry| OR: 83

25/1

Modest maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when sixth of 18 in 18f handicap at Exeter 11 days ago. Needs another step forward.

Form: 5487-06

Spirit Of Rome^p,t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 83

5/1

Landed 19f Fontwell handicap in October and has continued in good form, third of 13 in 17f Exeter handicap 23 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 48-0163

Princess Roania^t⁷⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: M G Nolan| T: C J Gray| OR: 81

80/1

It's now twenty two runs since last win back in 2015, and she was well below par on first run since leaving Peter Bowen when sixth in 26f handicap at Newton Abbot 78 days ago. Hard to enthuse over.

Form: P357/4-6

Kayf Sera Sera^b1,t1⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 81

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden who was well held on return in 19f novice hurdle at Fontwell. Blinkers/tongue strap on now going handicapping with lots to find.

Form: 0/480-0

Non-Runners

Jessica Rabbit¹⁸

Weight: 10-8| Age: 6

T: D Killahena & G McPherson J: Kielan Woods

Forecasts

Sawpit Sienna (3/1), Jessica Rabbit (7/2), Balladame (4/1), Spirit Of Rome (5/1), Kestrel Valley (17/2), No No Tonic (12/1), Cobra Angel (12/1), Maliboo (16/1), Harmonise (20/1), Tuscan Pearl (22/1), Kayf Sera Sera (22/1), Miss Harriett (25/1), Ayr Of Elegance (25/1), Peltwell (25/1), Poet's Reflection (25/1), Youvebrokenmydream (40/1), Kingsmill Gin (50/1), Princess Roania (80/1)

Lots with question marks against them here but JESSICA RABBIT is consistent and arrives in top form so can defy a 5 lb rise and follow up her recent Doncaster victory with that form having already been franked. Sawpit Sienna was much improved when making a winning debut for Sam Drinkwater so rates the chief threat, although in-form duo Balladame and Spirit of Rome can have a say too.
