Ask My Heather^h,t1³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett

150/1

Well held in a trio of starts so far, faring no better in first-time hood when last of 8 at Newcastle 30 days ago. Tongue strap now also applied.

Form: 408

Ballywhatsit^b1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson

80/1

After running out on debut, completed but offered little when seventh of 8 in bumper at Wetherby 11 days ago. Best watched with blinkers now reached for.

Form: R7

Here Comes Georgie

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: P Neville

9/2

€8,000 3-y-o, Geordieland gelding. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to temperamental but useful hurdler/chaser (2m-2¾m winner) Dicosimo. Market could be informative.

Form:

Lisnamult Lad^t1¹⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Ben Harvey⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell

9/4

Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) Regal Heights. Cosy winner of his sole start in points and he's respected on his Rules debut (wears tongue strap).

Form: 1

Lune De La Mer⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

7/1

Placed on the third of his 3 starts between the flags last year and, after 10 months off, some encouragement when third on Rules debut at this C&D in February. Can get involved with improvement to come.

Form: P73-3

Mister Smarty²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: Miss T Jackson

125/1

Sent off at big odds (200/1) but hinted at ability when eighth of 11 in bumper at Wetherby on his debut 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Still, looks to have a tough ask here.

Form: 8

Nae Bother At A'

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Ryan Mania| T: H Graham & G Rutherford

25/1

Yeats gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Barbary Master, stays 3m. Dam unraced. Yard 0-9 with their bumper runners this season.

Form:

Carrigeen Kali²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander

15/2

Ran to similar level as previous outing when fourth at Carlisle last month, despite being unsuited by the run of the race. Can build on that effort to get off the mark.

Form: 944

Cracking Rhapsody

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans

28/1

€7,500 3-y-o, Sans Frontieres gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Cracking Destiny. Dam, maiden pointer, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Cracking Find.

Form:

Jepsone⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Patrick Turley

11/2

Racinger gelding. Half-brother to fair French chaser As de Carpat and fair hurdler/chaser in France Fiancee du Large. Dam fair French hurdler (2¼m winner). Fourth on only start in points. Watch for market clues.

Form: 4

Northern Cardinal

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

9/2

Bathyrhon gelding. Half-brother to 1½m French bumper winner Impudent. Dam little impact over jumps in France. Could go well on debut.

Forecasts

Lisnamult Lad (9/4), Northern Cardinal (9/2), Here Comes Georgie (9/2), Jepsone (11/2), Lune De La Mer (7/1), Carrigeen Kali (15/2), Nae Bother At A' (25/1), Cracking Rhapsody (28/1), Ballywhatsit (80/1), Mister Smarty (125/1), Ask My Heather (150/1)

CARRIGEEN KALI has made the frame on her last 2 starts, faring best of those held up when fourth at Carlisle last time, so she could be ready to open her account this time around. Lune de La Mer showed encouragement amidst greenness at this C&D on his Rules debut and is feared most, ahead of point-winner Lisnamult Lad.
