Zambella¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 142| CD

4/11

Prolific in listed mares' events, landing this corresponding race last year and taking her tally to 5 with ease at Doncaster a fortnight ago. Very much the one to beat.

Form: 2F2-411

Allavina^t1³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 130| DWS

17/2

Fairly useful hurdler who easily landed the odds in 2m Perth novice in the spring. Shaped as if in need of the experience on chase debut/return and has had a breathing operation since. More to come.

Form: 21101-7

Costly Diamond^t⁷⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: William Shanahan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 114| D

50/1

Front-running chaser who was better than ever when making all at Sedgefield in September. Put up her best effort over hurdles since but will need a career-best effort to feature back over fences.

Form: 2-53214

Maskada²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 133| BF| D

10/3

Fairly useful hurdler who scored at Hereford and Newbury in 2020/21. Already bettered that form over fences (placed all 3 starts) and looks the one to give Zambella most to think about.

Form: 122-323

Forecasts

Zambella (4/11), Maskada (10/3), Allavina (17/2), Costly Diamond (50/1)

This looks to revolve around last year's winner ZAMBELLA, who notched a fifth listed success in effortless fashion at Doncaster a fortnight ago, and Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge should take all the beating here. Maskada gets the vote over Allavina for the forecast spot.
