Selected odds by:

Moviddy^t¹⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: J J Burke| T: Noel Williams| OR: 118| D

10/3

Irish point winner who won twice over hurdles and is very much the type to do better in this sphere, so makes plenty of appeal on first outing for 6 months.

Form: 1/31291-

Plenty Of Time^t³²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: M G Nolan| T: S Hosie| OR: 116| C

12/1

Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Off 10 months. Makes chase debut. First run for yard after leaving Gay Kelleway. Won her only start betweent he flags, so not a forlorn hope if she attracts some support.

Form: 121/8-

Somespring Special^t¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 114

11/4

Won twice over hurdles in the spring and is still unexposed, so very much one to note switched to chasing (ex-pointer) for a stable that should have her tuned up.

Form: 2P531-1

Presenting A Queen¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 113

4/1

Won 2 bumpers and a 19.5f Chepstow novice hurdle on her first 3 starts under Rules. Showed signs of temperament later in the campaign but she has a background in points, so bigger effort can't be ruled out on seasonal/chasing debut.

Form: 1/12420-

Porter In The Park²¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 107

2/1

Irish point winner who showed much improved form over hurdles when making a winning handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.7f) in January. Held form subsequently and should take to this sphere. Stable is firing, so merits consideration back from 7 months off.

Forecasts

Porter In The Park (2/1), Somespring Special (11/4), Moviddy (10/3), Presenting A Queen (4/1), Plenty Of Time (12/1)

An intriguing event comprising of five ex-pointers who are all making their chasing debut. MOVIDDY and Somespring Special are still very much unexposed and likely to do better in this sphere, so they make most appeal, with Porter In The Park hard to dismiss.
