Selected odds by:

Lutinebella¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| CD

1/1

Runner-up twice before deservedly getting her head in a course bumper in February. Excellent third in Grade 2 company at Aintree and she's a useful hurdles recruit.

Form: 4/2213-

Maridadi¹⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King

18/1

Lightly raced bumper winner who has finished runner-up twice on the level this year. Left Hughie Morrison and isn't an easy one to weigh up.

Form: 31/00-

Notnowlinda²¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

11/8

Bought for £85,000 after winning her sole Irish point in November and made a cracking start under Rules when third in a listed contest at Cheltenham in January. Occupied same spot at Newbury and is in top hands now switched to hurdling.

Form: 133-

Sallyann²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

40/1

Related to winners and displayed ability when third twice in bumpers last winter. Never involved in a pair of maiden hurdles subsequently and may be one for handicaps.

Form: 3384-

Tiger Print²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: W De Best-Turner| OR: 74

300/1

Of little account on the Flat and showed nothing sent hurdling.

Form: 9P-9

Hedychium¹⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins

50/1

Modest form in bumpers so needs to be transformed by switch to hurdling.

Form: 947-4

Lady Gwen¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams

7/1

Half-sister to the yard's smart chaser Moonlighter and displayed ability both starts over hurdles during the spring, runner-up at Exeter. That sets the standard back from a break.

Form: 52-

Miss Curiosity²¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

66/1

Modest form in bumpers and looks a work-in-progress over hurdles.

Form: 52845-

Valentine Getaway

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: K Brogan| T: J & A O'Neill

18/1

€26,000 3-y-o, Getaway filly. Closely related to useful bumper winner/smart hurdler Queens Brook, and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Buster Thomas. Dam unraced. Newcomer for top yard.

Forecasts

Lutinebella (1/1), Notnowlinda (11/8), Lady Gwen (7/1), Maridadi (18/1), Valentine Getaway (18/1), Sallyann (40/1), Hedychium (50/1), Miss Curiosity (66/1), Tiger Print (300/1)

LUTINBELLA and Notnowlinda were both useful in bumpers and promise to do well over hurdles for leading yards. Marginal preference is for the former given she achieved slightly more in that discipline. Of the rest, Lady Gwen remains capable of better as a hurdler.
