11/4

Fair winner at 17f on Flat for Mick Appleby. Similar form when placed both starts over hurdles and now makes a quick switch to handicaps.

Form: 23

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 98| D

3/1

Much improved on the back of a breathing op when landing 2m novice at Hexham in December. That remains a standout effort, though she did shape better than the bare result at Sedgefield last time.

Form: 7PP-1P6

She's A Rocca^t⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 87| D

5/6

Off 4 months and tongue tied before good third of 10 in 2m handicap hurdle at Doncaster 42 days ago. Can give another good account from only 1 lb higher. Engaged 2.45 Carlisle Thursday.

Form: 47P-743

Forecasts

She's A Rocca (5/6), Taragrace (15/8), Bella Bluesky (5/2), Nikolayeva (11/4), Just Jess (3/1)

There was plenty to like about TARAGRACE's handicap debut success at Doncaster and she still looks ahead of the assessor despite being hit with a 7 lb rise. She's A Rocca, who, like the selectioncan, is engaged at Carlisle on Thursday, give another good account, with Bella Bluesky also respected.
