Selected odds by:

Gone Away Madam²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: H Cobden| T: N B King| BF| D

12/1

Blue Bresil mare who made the perfect start at Uttoxeter in June but underperformed when only fourth at the same course. Off 7 months subsequently but could feature if she's back on track.

Form: 14

Jasmine Bliss^t⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| D

7/4

Bought for £50,000 after getting off the mark in Irish points at the third attempt in April and confirmed the promise of her bumper debut when opening her account at Wetherby last time. Unlikely to have reached her limit.

Form: 481-41

Geturguccion^h1¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: A King

4/1

Fetched £100,000 after finishing in the money in a couple of maiden points last year. Appealing jumps pedigree (half-sister to dual bumper winner/useful hurdler Saylavee) and very much of interest on Rules debut.

Form: 3-2

Northern Air¹¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

11/4

£105,000 purchase after easily landing an Irish maiden point on debut in November. Yard saddled the potentially smart Dysart Enos to win this race 12 months ago and it will be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting.

Form: 1

The Dream Goes On⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Cillin Leonard| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole

50/1

Out of a winning hurdler and has hinted at ability in bumpers at Warwick and Newcastle. Likely capable of better but probably more one for the longer term.

Form: 98

Wednesday Addams^t⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case

7/1

Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Nov 12) and showed plenty when second of 11 to Jasmine Bliss in bumper at Wetherby 49 days ago. Did well under the circumstances that day, so could turn the tables.

Form: P212

Not Now Nathaniel³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: D McCain Jnr| D

14/1

Nathaniel filly. Half-sister to fairly useful 7f winner Thunder Roar. Made ideal start when scoring at Newcastle a month ago and, while this is a much stronger race, she can't be ruled out.

Form: 1

Banny Hill Lass

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: N B King

33/1

£5,500 3-y-o, Blue Bresil filly. Dam (h124) 2m hurdle winner, also 1½m-13.3f winner on Flat.

Form:

Goddess Afrana

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

80/1

Fracas filly. Dam, maiden on Flat (stayed 1½m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 19f) Tidal Watch.

Forecasts

Jasmine Bliss (7/4), Northern Air (11/4), Geturguccion (4/1), Wednesday Addams (7/1), Gone Away Madam (12/1), Not Now Nathaniel (14/1), Banny Hill Lass (33/1), The Dream Goes On (50/1), Goddess Afrana (80/1)

GETURGUCCION was a six-figure purchase from points and she's related to a dual bumper winner, so she's worth chancing to make a successful Rules debut. Wednesday Adams and Jasmine Bliss fiilled the first two positions at Wetherby last time and they're likely to be involved once more.
