Selected odds by:

Rainyday Woman^t⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Megan Nicholls| T: P F Nicholls| D

5/4

Showed promise for Pam Sly last term and unbeaten in two outings for current yard, including a listed event at Huntingdon (something to spare) 81 days ago. Up to defying a penalty.

Form: 32-11

Ballybough Mary³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| BF| D

9/1

Well-bred point winner who opened her account under Rules at Hereford and improved further when second at Kempton last time. Capable of making an impression up in grade.

Form: 21212

Billams Legacy⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| D

25/1

Much improved from Uttoxeter debut, becoming the third winner out of that race when landing Wetherby contest in November. Creditable second at Doncaster since, but needs more now.

Form: 512

Code Name Lise²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| D

14/1

€85,000 Fame And Glory mare who built on a pleasing start at Warwick when off the mark at Ascot 3 weeks ago. Had a bit up her sleeve, so should be more to come.

Form: 21

Dazzling Glory^h²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

22/1

Winning pointer who found only one too good at Hereford on Rules debut and has more to offer, so not a forlorn hope despite a step up in class.

Form: F2412

Flirtatious Girl⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| D

13/2

From a successful NH family and knew her job well as she landed a punt on debut at Warwick on debut. Backed it up with a good second in this company at Huntingdon, so should be thereabouts again.

Form: 12

Marshmallo⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly

25/1

Stepped up on an encouraging start when defying odds of 20/1 at Doncaster last time, looking suited by the emphasis on stamina. Will likely be outclassed in this company, though.

Form: 61

Precious⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: A J Honeyball

22/1

Well-bred filly who knew her job when making a successful debut at Plumpton 89 days ago. Has a lot more on her plate now, however.

Form: 1

Sheila Nash³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington| D

33/1

Fairly useful operator who opened her account at the fourth attempt at Kempton last time but looks vulnerable to less-exposed types in this company.

Form: 62-U1

Speech Bubble⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: Noel Williams| D

40/1

Well backed and made a winning start to her career at Ffos Las but came up well short at this level at Huntingdon subsequently. May yet improve after a break.

Form: 16

Step To The Top^h⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: Noel Williams| BF

16/1

Showed useful form when placed in bumpers last term but was underwhelming at Doncaster on reappearance. Bit to prove with a hood refitted.

Form: 322-3

Swincombe Fleat⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: A J Honeyball

40/1

Confirmed debut promise when opening her account at Fontwell a couple of months ago. Needs a much more significant step forward if she's to make a similar impression up in grade, though.

Form: 41

Ucanaver^t¹¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| BFWS

17/2

Improved from debut (for Adam West) when bolting up at Fontwell on debut for this yard in October. Seemingly amiss when well fancied for a listed event at Cheltenham next time. Remains with potential.

Form: 2-18

Alexandra Romanov¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West

150/1

Sixties Icon filly who made a positive start when second at Warwick on debut but lacks potential compare to the majority of her rivals.

Form: 2

Legendary Grace⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

125/1

Just modest form in bumpers to date, so looks well out of her depth in this company.

Form: 22R5

Tweed Skirt⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

10/1

Martaline filly who looked above average when making a successful debut at Wetherby a couple of months ago, well on top at the finish. Worth considering with scope for significant improvement.

Form: 1

Non-Runners

Miss Lamb⁵⁶

Weight: 11-0| Age: 5

T: Jedd O'Keeffe J: Non Runner

Finest View⁴⁰

Weight: 10-6| Age: 4

Forecasts

Rainyday Woman (5/4), Miss Lamb (5/1), Flirtatious Girl (13/2), Ucanaver (17/2), Ballybough Mary (9/1), Tweed Skirt (10/1), Finest View (12/1), Code Name Lise (14/1), Step To The Top (16/1), Dazzling Glory (22/1), Precious (22/1), Marshmallo (25/1), Billams Legacy (25/1), Sheila Nash (33/1), Speech Bubble (40/1), Swincombe Fleat (40/1), Legendary Grace (125/1), Alexandra Romanov (150/1)

RAINYDAY WOMAN has made a terrific start for Paul Nicholls and displayed a positive attitude when landing a similar event at Huntingdon in December, so she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten start for the yard. Flirtatious Girl, ran well at this level following a successful debut, and looks the main danger, ahead of Ballybough Mary and Tweed Skirt.
