Our Laura B¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 105| D

17/2

Improved for the switch to handicapping, winning a pair of mares' events at Newcastle (both at 20.3f) last spring. Poor runs last 2 outings and will likely need the run after 4 months off.

Form: 12/144P-

Spot On Soph^h,t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 101

9/2

14/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, heavy) 35 days ago. Hood back on. Should give another good account.

Form: 132254-

Bright Sunbird¹⁷¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies| OR: 98| D

28/1

Regained the winning thread when accounting for 9 rivals at Stratford (26.4f, good to soft) last July. Poor run at Hereford 4 months later and not seen since. Others make more appeal.

Form: 243518-

Western Glen^h⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: G Boanas| OR: 95

50/1

Well held in 2 bumpers and yet to make an impact over hurdles.

Form: 798858-

Miss Arabella⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 93

18/1

Runner-up on her final start in bumpers. Yet to match that form over hurdles but should have learned a bit and switches to handicaps after 82 days off.

Form: 4P/2623-

Moore Clouds³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Callum Bewley| T: A Wilson| OR: 93| C

17/2

Doubled her chase account here on Boxing Day and back on track to some degree when third at Market Rasen a month ago. Returns to hurdling now.

Form: 143163-

Cailin Dearg^t⁷⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 92| CD

10/1

Bounced back to capitalise on a handy mark and enhance an excellent record here when scoring over C&D 77 days ago. Should go well again.

Form: 40/0971-

Barrons Land⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 92

12/1

Runner-up four times in Irish points and filled the same position in a Doncaster bumper on her Rules debut in January. Signs of encouragement over hurdles and expected to be suited by this step back up in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 24/2244-

Mrs Tabitha^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 86

6/4

Debut bumper winner at Bangor and left previous hurdling form well behind when justifying support in a 9-runner event on handicap debut at Ludlow. Could be a good deal more to come and every chance she can follow-up.

Form: 1/P071-

Izzy Bell^t¹³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 82

66/1

Has yet to better poor form so easily passed over.

Form: 36/P6PP-

Fairland^p,t1¹¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR: 79

11/1

Poor maiden who again failed to see things out when fifth in a handicap here 4 months ago. Tongue tie could make a difference but others have more solid credentials.

Form: 657P55-

Le Fou's Keep^t¹⁸³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: H Burns| OR: 79

100/1

Poor maiden hurdler who was pulled up at this course when last seen 6 months ago and is hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 6P7/63P-

Star Of Markinch⁵⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 72

200/1

Made the frame last 2 of 3 starts in points but little impact under Rules and looks set for another struggle from out of the weights.

Form: 833FP/P-

Kurphy^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 71

40/1

Limited hurdler who arrives on the back of a poor showing at Perth 16 days ago and looks set for another struggle from out of the weights.

Form: 589P56-

Forecasts

Mrs Tabitha (6/4), Spot On Soph (9/2), Our Laura B (17/2), Moore Clouds (17/2), Cailin Dearg (10/1), Fairland (11/1), Barrons Land (12/1), Miss Arabella (18/1), Bright Sunbird (28/1), Kurphy (40/1), Western Glen (50/1), Izzy Bell (66/1), Le Fou's Keep (100/1), Star Of Markinch (200/1)

MRS TABITHA improved markedly to make a winning hurdling debut at Ludlow recently and she's the type to go on progressing, so she can go in again. Barrons Land is an interesting handicap debutante and Cailin Dearg goes well here, so they're the main dangers.
