Jaunty Soria^p1²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 98| BF| CD

7/1

C&D winner who added to tally at Perth in September. Faded over 22f here last time but this trip more suitable. Also has cheekpieces added.

Form: 37-441P

Bleue Away^t⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 96

7/2

Has recorded good runner-up efforts in handicap hurdle/chases at Worcester this season. Likely to be winning soon.

Form: 7P85-22

Jessica Rabbit^t⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 87| D

85/40

Just 1 win from 26 starts but she is largely consistent and has come down to a mark she's more than capable of going close from.

Form: 3223U5

White Hart Lady²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 85| BF

5/2

A touch disappionting since her bumper debut success but her recent course handicap debut third was a step back in right direction and her unexposed profile gives her the potential to build on that.

Form: 54/9F8-3

Snug As A Bug^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 83

8/1

Much improved for this yard, including a win at Newton Abbot in September. Run of good form came to a halt at Exeter last time but could bounce back.

Form: 4P2126

Baby Sham¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 89

16/1

Modest 1m winner on the level but only poor form in juvenile hurdles of late. Goes up in trip for handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 7P535

Forecasts

Jessica Rabbit (85/40), White Hart Lady (5/2), Bleue Away (7/2), Jaunty Soria (7/1), Snug As A Bug (8/1), Baby Sham (16/1)

WHITE HART LADY might be worth siding with to build on last month's course handicap debut third. Bleue Away rates an obvious danger after a pair of good runner-up efforts this term, while Jessica Rabbit finds winning difficult but is capable off this sort of mark.
