6/4

Runner-up in a point and made the ideal start under Rules when scoring at a big price at Cheltenham 174 days ago. Sets a good standard and deserves strong consideration under a penalty.

Form: F21-

Brucio^t¹⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford

4/1

Shaped with encouragement at Punchestown on debut and, while disappointing at Wexford next time, she remains with some potential back from 144 days off.

Form: 5-6

Backdoorflush

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

11/2

Mount Nelson filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Finnthemagician. Dam (h127) bumper/2m/17f hurdle winner (stayed 21f). Makes plenty of appeal for a yard going great guns.

Form:

Bishop Hill²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

28/1

Has showed ability on both starts to date but has a fair bit to find if she's to open her account.

Form: 5-3

Listentoyourheart

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

9/4

Getaway filly. Dam (b100) dual bumper winner. Noteworthy newcomer for shrewd stable.

Form:

Threeofthetee

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Ross Chapman| T: P A Kirby

28/1

Valirann filly. Half-sister to modest chaser Trumps Benefit and poor hurdler Game Beaaa. Dam unraced.

Form:

Vanilla Dancer

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: William Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: C Grant

66/1

Dragon Dancer filly. Half-sister to 4 winners, including bumper winner Vanilla Run and ungenuine/poor hurdler Van Mildert. Worthy of interest if the market speaks in her favour.

Form:

Western Glen

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: G Boanas

66/1

Westerner filly. Sister to fairly useful 21f hurdle winner Top Target. Dam unraced.

Forecasts

Micks Jet (6/4), Listentoyourheart (9/4), Brucio (4/1), Backdoorflush (11/2), Bishop Hill (28/1), Threeofthetee (28/1), Vanilla Dancer (66/1), Western Glen (66/1)

BACKDOORFLUSH is bred to go well in this sphere and she represents an in-form yard, so a chance is taken on her to get the better of Micks Jet who, admittedly, sets a good standard on his impressive Cheltenham success five months ago. Listentoyourheart is another one to note on debut.
