8/1

Bumper/hurdles winner but well below that level in 6 starts over fences so far. Making early mistakes prior to taking a heavy fall at Ffos Las (19.4f) 26 days ago. Assessor continues to relinquish his grip but percentage call to look elsewhere.

Form: 3/6P-4PF

My Girl Lollipop⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case| OR: 91

6/1

Maiden who ended time with Stuart Edmunds in good form, again making the frame when third in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f) in May. However, easy to back and offered little making yard/chase debut when pulled up at Catterick (25.2f) 47 days ago. This ought to reveal more.

Form: 0P23-3P

Desert Fortune³³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 90

9/4

Runner-up only start in bumpers but never pulled up any trees over hurdles, pulled up at Huntingdon (25f) when last seen 11 months ago. Still, she is a former winner in points so worth noting if the market speaks in her favour now tackling larger obstacles.

Form: 2/4795P-

Bobbi's Beauty²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 81

5/6

Successful in an Irish point and comes here having showed more than previously over hurdles when runner-up on handicap debut at Ffos Las (15.8f) 26 days ago. Feasible to think the switch to chasing could see her in a better light now.

Form: 10-P072

Autumn Blaze^b¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 61

125/1

Offered little in bumpers/over hurdles and similar story in 2 tries over fences in recent weeks. Hard to fancy from out of the weights.

Form: 0463PP

Forecasts

Bobbi's Beauty (5/6), Lincoln Lyn (11/10), Desert Fortune (9/4), My Girl Lollipop (6/1), Penny Mallow (8/1), Autumn Blaze (125/1)

Having finished runner-up to a subsequent winner on her penultimate start, LINCOLN LYN ran out an authoritative winner at Wetherby 33 days ago and a 5 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Chase-debutantes Desert Fortune and Bobbi's Beauty may emerge as the chief threats.
