Casa No Mento¹⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 123| D

10/11

Fairy useful bumper winner who created a good impression in winning her first 2 starts over hurdles (both at 2m, good). Lost little in defeat in a Taunton listed event on most recent outing and sound claims despite conceding weight all round here.

Form: 120-112

Either Or⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul O'Brien| T: N J Henderson

9/4

Winning pointer in Ireland who built on a promising Warwick bumper second when making a successful start to her hurdle career there (19f, heavy) in January. Possibly amiss when pulled up in Sandown Grade 2 a month later but she's very much the type to bounce back.

Form: F41-21P

Jaminska⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 110| D

11/2

Juvenile hurdle winner last winter who ran well when hitting the frame first 2 starts this term. Fell over extended 19f here in January though and not at her best when fourth of 7 in mares' novice at Market Rasen (16.5f) a month later. Subsequent 53 day break may help ahead of this.

Form: 21-23F4

Ellies Sister⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: William Featherstone⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Jamie Snowden

150/1

Knew more than on debut and shaped like a stayer when second of 11 in Hereford bumper last January. However, low-key efforts in pair of hurdle runs since, pulled up abck from 8 months off at Wincanton 93 days ago.

Form: 52-5P

Extra Cover⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: H D Daly

125/1

Jack Hobbs mare who makes plenty of appeal on paper but seemingly lacking for sharpness when well beaten fourth of 7 in a Huntingdon bumper on debut 6 weeks ago. This should reveal more now attentions switch to timber.

Form: 4

Get Sky High⁵¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Fergus Gillard| T: D Skelton| D

15/2

Point/bumper winner who showed plenty to work on sent hurdling after 19 months off when third of 14 in a maiden at Hereford (16.2f, soft) in November 2022. Not seen since but yard's runners rarely lack for fitness and she has to be considered.

Form: 13212/3-

Gone Away Madam⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| D

50/1

Blue Bresil mare who made the perfect start when comfortable winner of a Uttoxeter bumper (15.7f) last June. Not in quite the same form back at that venue a month later and well held back from 7 months off at Newbury (16.3f) 6 weeks ago. Hurdles debut.

Form: 148

She's My Shadow⁴⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Liam Harrison| T: R L Llewellyn

40/1

Jet Away mare. Dam (h95), lightly raced over hurdles, 1½m winner on Flat. Placed on last of 3 starts in points (Dec 2022) and market should prove a useful guide on Rules/hurdles debut.

Form: P2/3-

Forecasts

Casa No Mento (10/11), Either Or (9/4), Jaminska (11/2), Get Sky High (15/2), She's My Shadow (40/1), Gone Away Madam (50/1), Extra Cover (125/1), Ellies Sister (150/1)

Impressing when winning each of her first 2 starts over hurdles, CASA NO MENTO lost little caste in defeat when runner-up in a mares' listed contest at Taunton when last seen in December. Her rider takes off a handy 7 lb back from a break and she could be the answer. Either Or is best not judged on her Sandown run and remains capable of better, whilst Get Sky High needs considering despite an absence to overcome.
