Runasimi River¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 102

25/1

Registered her seventh hurdles success off a 14 lb higher mark at Hereford last November. However, she hasn't shown much in 3 starts for new yard over fences this season and needs to bounce back now returned to this sphere.

Form: 676-655

Walk In My Shoes^p1,t²⁷⁸

11/8

Runner-up sole start between the flags and placed in mares' novice hurdles at Uttoxeter and Warwick on first 2 starts under Rules last season. Ended that campaign on a low-key note (undergone a wind op since) but will be a danger to all if able to get back on track here with cheekpieces enlisted.

Form: 2/3357-

Galante De Romay²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Kai Lenihan⁽⁶⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 97

7/2

Well-bred type who stepped up on what she showed last season when third in a 8-runner Ffos Las novice (15.8f, soft) on return. Yard in good form and this 6-y-o can be expected to improve for this step up in trip now handicapping.

Form: 53P-3

Rio Silva²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Daire Davis⁽⁸⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 77

7/2

Yet to trouble the judge and while she wasn't entirely disgraced when sixth of 13 on return in a 2½m Uttoxeter handicap, she will need to raise her game in order to emerge on top here.

Form: 4669U-6

Shesupincourt¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Beau Morgan⁽³⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 75

6/1

Has looked very modest so far and latest effort over 19f at Fontwell wasn't overly inspiring. However, she wasn't beaten far over the same C&D on her penultimate start and this stiffer test could be just what she needs.

Form: 598-646

Shesasuperstar^p1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Tristan Durrell| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 62

10/1

Maiden Irish pointer who has failed to make any sort of impact in 3 runs over hurdles. 12 lb 'wrong' at the weights on this handicap debut and equipped with first-time cheekpieces.

Form: P22-857

Forecasts

Walk In My Shoes (11/8), Galante De Romay (7/2), Rio Silva (7/2), Shesupincourt (6/1), Shesasuperstar (10/1), Runasimi River (25/1)

Easily the most appealing of these is GALANTE DE ROMAY, who was doing all her best work at the finish when third on her reappearance in a Ffos Las novice and the combination of this stiffer test and the switch to handicap company can precipitate improvement. Walk In My Shoes is likely to emerge as the main danger, provided she is able to get back on track following a 9-month break, and Shesupincourt is best of the rest.
