Selected odds by:

Chosen Shant^t1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: Ian Williams| OR: 100

5/1

Caught the eye when fourth in maiden hurdle (22/1) at Warwick on penultimate start but failed to build on that when well beaten on handicap debut at Southwell last time. Tongue tie now applied.

Form: 943-44

Zip Pearl²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93

15/2

Took a step forward stepped upped in trip for her handicap debut when second of 4 at Bangor (19.6f, soft) 22 days ago, headed between last 2 but keeping on. Should be in the mix from same mark.

Form: 0853-2

Para Queen¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 91

14/1

Modest Flat winner for Heather Main. Showed a bit on yard/hurdles debut when fifth in a Sedgefield novice (16.8f) in November but below par under both codes since.

Form: 50-4

Miss Bamby²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: J Mackie| OR: 88

11/1

Improving gradually over hurdles, probably not been seen to best effect in all 3 starts so far and she is more interesting than most upped in trip for her handicap debut.

Form: 096-35

Crossfirehurricane^t⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 87

7/2

Has hinted at ability in bumpers/over hurdles, in the process of running creditably when unseating 2 out at Newton Abbot when last seen in April. Percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 8/7899U-

Pretty Stranger¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 84

9/2

Showed more than previously upped markedly in trip for handicap debut when third of 12 at Ffos Las (23.9f, good, 33/1) 18 days ago. Enters calculations if building on that effort.

Form: F5535-3

Daraz Legacy⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: F Brennan| OR: 82

50/1

No impact in 3 races over hurdles last year and fared no better after 6 months off at Exeter recently. Plenty to find on handicap bow.

Form: 8846-

Dynamic Kate^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: J E Moore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 77| BF

9/2

Lightly-raced hurdler who finished a running-on fourth of 13 on handicap bow at Taunton (19f) on penultimate start. Unable to build on that promise at Fakenham last time and must get back on track.

Form: 80704-4

Misscarlett^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: B S Hughes| T: P A Kirby| OR: 71

7/1

Modest stayer on the Flat who ran well after a wind op at Perth last month and backed that up back on the Flat at Hamilton 13 days ago. Should continue to give a good account.

Form: 7P468-4

Forecasts

Crossfirehurricane (7/2), Dynamic Kate (9/2), Pretty Stranger (9/2), Chosen Shant (5/1), Misscarlett (7/1), Zip Pearl (15/2), Miss Bamby (11/1), Para Queen (14/1), Waterlefe Getaway (14/1), Daraz Legacy (50/1)

PRETTY STRANGER showed more than previously upped markedly trip when finishing third on her handicap debut at Ffos Las 18 days ago. She's one of the least exposed in the field and gets the nod to open her account at the fifth time of asking. There should be more to come from Miss Bamby so she's feared most on her handicap bow, ahead of Zip Pearl and Waterlefe Getaway.
