Admiral's Sunset^t¹⁶³

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: James Davies| T: D Weston| OR: 105| C

22/1

Finally off the mark over fences here (17f) in August and quickly followed up at Worcester (16.5f) a month later. Never figured from higher marks in 3 subsequent starts and this run may just be needed on return.

Howdilyoudo^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 103

9/4

Enjoyed a productive spell over hurdles last year, winning twice at up to 23f prior to filling runners-up spot final 2 starts. Good third on return at Ffos Las (21.8f) in April and that should have put her spot on ahead of this switch to chasing.

Rose Ohara^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 94

9/1

Modest maiden hurdler who showed some improvement for switch to chasing when runner-up in 4-runner mares' handicap at Worcester (23f) last month. That didn't look the strongest of contests but not ruled out.

Form: 0/69442-

Achy Breaky Heart^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: M F Harris| OR: 88| BF

3/1

Hurdles/chase winner who failed to meet expectations on return over hurdles at Huntingdon (25f) 10 days ago. Still, not underestimated back over fences having scored comfortably from a 4 lb lower mark in this sphere back in the autumn.

Form: 22114-7

Daenerys Stormborn^t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: David Noonan| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 83

6/1

Long-standing maiden who has yet to better poor form in handful of starts over hurdles/fences for present yard, never involved over timber at Ludlow (21.2f) last month. Needs to sharpen up in the jumping department back over fences.

Form: 503P38-

Princess Midnight^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: J Tizzard| OR: 77

3/1

Dual winner over fences over 2m last term who ran respectably back from 5 months off when third at Worcester (20f) in April. Operating from 2 lb out of weights here but no surprise to see her give a good account.

Forecasts

Howdilyoudo (9/4), Princess Midnight (3/1), Achy Breaky Heart (3/1), Daenerys Stormborn (6/1), Rose Ohara (9/1), Admiral's Sunset (22/1)

HOWDILYOUDO proved a model of consistency over hurdles last year, winning twice at up to 23f. With a solid placed effort on return at Ffos Las under her belt in April, she could be worth siding with now her attentions are switched to chasing. Achy Breaky Heart wasn't at her best over hurdles recently but rates a player back over fences. Princess Midnight completes the shortlist.
