1/1

Low-mileage mare who scored over hurdles last term and improved to make successful chase debut at Fontwell (26f) in December. Solid efforts in defeat both starts since and she's one to consider here.

Form: 142-132

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 125

9/2

Made winning start over fences at Wincanton on Boxing Day and best effort since when runner-up over 20f here in February. May of found race coming too soon at Uttoxeter the following day.

Form: 514P22

Schiaparannie⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs V Makin| OR: 120| D

7/2

Well backed and proved different proposition to score over fences at Southwell (3m) in November. More on her plate at listed level since and this a more suitable target.

Form: 59-5135

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107

11/2

Kept busy over fences last year on back of success at Hexham (20f) in June and not disgraced when third over extended 23f at Musselburgh last month. Mark has eased a little more.

Forecasts

Wouldubewell (1/1), Schiaparannie (7/2), Belle De Manech (9/2), Methodtothemadness (11/2)

WOULDUBEWELL boasts a positive profile, successful on return over fences at Fontwell prior to running even better in defeat in handicaps at Haydock/Lingfield. Still unexposed at around this sort of trip, she's fancied to put up another bold showing. Belle de Manech may emerge as the chief threat.
