Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

9/1

Scorpion mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/modest hurdler Little Else. Dam (c112/h118) 2m-2¾m hurdle/chase winner. Makes some appeal on paper.

Form:

Dora's Addrezz^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Reed| T: B Barr

50/1

£1,400 3-y-o, Schiaparelli mare. Dam ran once in bumper. Wears tongue strap. Others make more appeal.

Form:

Dunalong

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott

13/2

Dunaden mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including very smart hurdler/high-class chaser Dashel Drasher, stays 25f, and fair hurdler Popping Along. Very much one to note for all she's bred to be a stayer.

Form:

Madame Pompadour⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Gundry

16/1

Pour Moi mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/top-class chaser Santini and bumper winner/useful hurdler Dusky Legend, stayed 2½m. Unplaced both starts in point bumpers (latest Mar 18).

Our Nel^h⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: H Fry

13/8

Promising Rules debut when fourth in an 18-runner Warwick bumper in November. Disappointed at Ascot since but has been given another break and is an obvious player if she can bounce back.

Form: F40-

Prelinsia²⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner

125/1

Related to winners but big price and showed nothing at Chepstow 6 months ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 0-

Edmond^p1⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Bryan Carver| T: B R Millman

3/1

Nathaniel filly who has shown ability on each of her three starts to date but will likely need to find improvement if she's to open her account. Headgear goes on.

Form: 453-

Manala

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Paul O'Brien| T: N J Henderson

4/1

€45,000 3-y-o, Walzertakt filly. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Harapour. Very interesting newcomer.

Form:

Pearl Beauty³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

100/1

Failed to beat a rival at Wincanton first time out and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 6-

Forecasts

Our Nel (13/8), Edmond (3/1), Manala (4/1), Dunalong (13/2), Aprille Mai (9/1), Madame Pompadour (16/1), Dora's Addrezz (50/1), Pearl Beauty (100/1), Prelinsia (125/1)

DUNALONG is a half-sister to Dashel Drasher and, although she'll be suited by longer trips in time, it might be worth chancing that she has enough ability to make a successful start. Manala is another notable newcomer and Our Nel is the pick of those with experience.
