6/1

Well prepared following 6 months off to land 3-runner mares' handicap at Hereford in October. Promised more than what she ultimately delivered having travelled well for a long way at Cheltenham (20.6f, good) last time but leading claims here all the same.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr George Hiscock⁽⁷⁾| T: R Walford| OR: 105

5/1

Dual winner over hurdles (at up to 21.3f) last season and fair encouraging start over fences on return at Kempton in November. In trouble a long way out at Cheltenham next time, though, and she has bit to prove on the back of that.

Mad About Sally³²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones| T: O Signy| OR: 99| BF| D

6/4

Benefited from a more patient ride when opening her account in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in December. Probably best to overlook subsequent Ffos Las display and she could have a part to play if her jumping passes the test now switched to fences.

Form:

River Tyne⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 94

3/1

Winless following half-a-dozen attempts over hurdles but twice ran well at this venue. Yet to match pick of her form in that sphere, in 2 starts over fences but her mark is easing all the time, so she's not one to be writing off.

Form:

Tazka^b⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 93| CD

15/2

Sole win over fences was registered over C&D in September 2020. Hit the crossbar twice off higher marks than this last summer and while she has needs to bounce back following a couple of non-completions, she will be a threat if on-song.

Forecasts

Mad About Sally (6/4), River Tyne (3/1), Electric Annie (5/1), Whatsdastory (6/1), Tazka (15/2)

The vote in this trappy-looking contest goes to WHATSDASTORY, who didn't find as much as looked likely when sixth at Cheltenham in December but she's now 2 lb lower in a weaker race. If Mad About Sally takes to fences at the first attempt she could be the one to follow the selection home, though a back-to-form Tazka would also be a threat.
