Steel An Icon²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: M R Channon

3/1

Flat-bred who knew her job when making a successful start in Newbury bumper 27 days ago, just kept up to work in the closing stages. Bold bid expected under a penalty.

Form: 1

Howzat Hiris³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Joe Colliver| T: Micky Hammond

50/1

Remote sixth of 12 in bumper at Wetherby (12.4f, heavy) on debut 14 days ago. Will need to leave that run well behind.

Form: 6

Maroochi

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen⁽³⁾| T: A King

11/2

Presenting filly. Dam (c109/h108), 19f-2¾m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 3½m) Roulez Cool out of useful 17f-21f chase winner Makounji.

Form:

Splashing³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: P A Kirby

9/1

Half-sister to numerous winners. Ignored in the betting but promising start when third to the ultra-impressive filly Eileendover over C&D. Not discounted.

Form: 3

Tweed Skirt

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

4/5

Martaline filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Petticoat Tails, stayed 3m, and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Call To Order. Highly respected on debut.

Forecasts

Tweed Skirt (4/5), Steel An Icon (3/1), Maroochi (11/2), Splashing (9/1), Howzat Hiris (50/1)

A chance is taken on TWEED SKIRT, who is related to a bumper winner and represents a top stable. Steel An Icon sets a clear standard of those with experience and Maroochi is another appealing newcomer for a stable with a good record in this discipline.
