Settings
Selected odds by:
Well held in 3 qualifying runs in mid-winter but placed in a bumper at the start of her career and upped her game when second at Fakenham 27 days ago, shaping like this even stiffer test would suit. Good shout.
|
Returned to form on the back of a breathing op when successful at Market Rasen a year ago and ran at least as well when narrowly denied at Perth (3m) in September. Not at best since but latest run at Ayr best excused.
|
Consistent mare who scored at Hereford in October. Right back on track when second at Wincanton 18 days ago and is one to consider back up in trip.
|
Bumper/hurdles winner but not the most consistent, typically following a solid fourth at Doncaster with a brace of lesser efforts, albeit she went off too hard at Taunton on latest. Visor replaces cheekpieces.
|
Has made the frame in all but one of her 6 starts since venturing down the handicap route, and her latest third at Ludlow on return was another solid showing. Should be on the premises again.
|
Much improved when getting off the mark at Worcester (2m) a year ago and consistent in the main since. Not seen since running poorly in Uttoxeter 7 months ago but worth monitoring in the betting on return.
|
Winning pointer but has yet to offer anything of note under Rules and looks set for another struggle.
|
More miss than hit since opening her account in a Stratford novice in June 2022 and while her latest run on the Flat was a creditable effort, she's opposable on balance.
|
Successful twice during middle part of 2023 but struggled to land a telling blow since.
|
Now dipped below last winning mark but well held both completed starts this term and tends to save her best efforts for Newcastle. Back over hurdles.

Forecasts
Chatty Chich (7/4), Valentine Getaway (4/1), Bluebella (9/2), Malina Jamila (13/2), Kentford Mallard (11/1), Quiet Thunder (14/1), Headscarf Lil (16/1), Baby Sham (22/1), Catlin (40/1), Chief Lady (80/1)
CHATTY CHICH was well backed prior to an improved showing on handicap debut at Fakenham and, with this longer trip/more conventional track in her favour, she's well fancied to go one better at the possible expense of the reliable Kentford Mallard. Valentine Getaway is another to consider.
