Araglen Star⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer

40/1

Signs of ability first two starts but latest effort at Hexham (4 days ago) lacked encouragement and she has something to find.

Form: 860

Belle Saint¹¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams

20/1

From a good family but not much encouragement when down the field at Ludlow first time out. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 0

Bethpage⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle

12/1

Sixth of 12 in bumper (22/1) at Newbury (16.3f, good to firm) on NH debut 55 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should take a step forward from that.

Form: 6

Call The Dance¹¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| BF

5/2

Closely related to smart hurdler/useful chaser Thomas Campbell (bumper winner), and half-sister to numerous winners. Encouragement when fourth at Ludlow 112 days ago and there's improvement on the cards. Leading claims.

Form: 4

Cotoneaster^t1³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan| T: Noel Williams

150/1

Looked in need of experience when only eighth of 10 at Cheptsow on debut. Now tongue tied but probably more one for the longer term.

Form: 8

Crimson Ruby⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Dylan Kitts⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex

18/1

Half-sister to fair hurdler Prussia With Love, stays 23f. Down the field at Huntingdon on debut 78 days ago and will probably need more time.

Form: 0

Crystal Times²⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King

16/1

Related to winners but only fifth on debut at Uttoxeter 9 months ago. Not seen since and has left Neil Mulholland, so best watched unless the market speaks in her favour.

Form: 5

Lucky Rose³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings| T: Noel Williams

5/1

Better effort (fair form) in bumpers when second of 9 at Lingfield on debut. Not disgraced when fourth over C&D last time and shouldn't be completely ruled out.

Form: 24

Malago Rose³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Todd| T: Simon Earle

12/1

Half-sister to bumper winner and made an encouraging start when a staying-on fourth at Taunton 39 days ago. Improvement on the cards, so can't be dismissed.

Form: 4

Mighty Duchess^t1³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: B I Case

100/1

Runner-up in a point but didn't give enough encouragement on Rules debut at Chepstow to make her of interest in this. Tried in a tongue tie.

Form: P26

Spice Heaven¹⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: Jamie SnowdenWS

40/1

Down the field at Warwick 163 days ago and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 0

Sunday Soldier²³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien

13/2

Didn't come up to expectations for Gordon Elliott and might need this first run for 7 months on debut for a new yard.

Form: 75

Jersey Gem¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: O Sherwood

33/1

Out of a bumper winner but will have to step up markedly from her debut over C&D if she's to make a serious impact.

Form: 6

Young At Heart¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Eddie Edge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Wadham| BF

3/1

Closely related to 2 winners on Flat, including smart 1½m/1¾m winner Eagles By Day. Positive start when third at Fakenham 18 days ago and should benefit from the experience, so looks a big player.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Call The Dance (5/2), Young At Heart (3/1), Lucky Rose (5/1), Sunday Soldier (13/2), Bethpage (12/1), Malago Rose (12/1), Crystal Times (16/1), Crimson Ruby (18/1), Belle Saint (20/1), Jersey Gem (33/1), Spice Heaven (40/1), Araglen Star (40/1), Mighty Duchess (100/1), Cotoneaster (150/1)

CALL THE DANCE is well bred and left the impression she'd improve for her debut at Ludlow in January, so a chance is taken on her to see off Young At Heart, who also made an encouraging start. Bethpage is the pick of the remainder.
