Une De La Seniere^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 121

4/1

Three-time winner over hurdles in the last year under this rider and she probably isn't overfaced for her chase debut. Will stay and looks one of the leading players.

Form: 412-314

Schiaparannie²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs V Makin| OR: 117| C

11/4

Fairly useful handicap hurdler who faced a stiff task for her first crack chasing in listed mares' contest at Bangor back from 6 months off. This is easier and she's won here in the past.

Form: 51759-5

Alpha Carinae^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 117| D

18/5

Point/bumper winner who showed fairly useful form at up to 3m over hurdles last term but ran below that level after 8 months off/wind op on first go chasing at Kempton 22 days ago. Tongue tie back on.

Form: 12430-3

Whatsdastory^p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 117| CD

11/4

Won 3m mares' maiden hurdle here at the end of 2019 and has had plenty of experience over fences since, albeit while proving expensive to follow. Underperformed on return at Ffos Las in cheekpieces.

Form: U2225-4

Another Theatre³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 113| C

11/2

Better than ever when resuming winning ways over hurdles at Sedgefield (19.8f) in March. Disappointing since, however, dropping away at Wetherby both starts this term. Lower mark back chasing.

Form: 901P-49

Forecasts

Schiaparannie (11/4), Whatsdastory (11/4), Alpha Carinae (18/5), Une De La Seniere (4/1), Another Theatre (11/2)

UNE DE LA SENIERE is interesting on her chase debut and could be worth chancing to make a winning start in this sphere. Whatsdastory disappointed on her Ffos Las return but certainly has the form to take a hand if bouncing back. Alpha Carinae could also do better if coming on for her Kempton run.
