2/1

Going the right way over hurdles now, opening her account at this course last month before following up over C&D (good to soft) 8 days ago (left in front last). Yard in form and looks sure to make a bold bid from the front for the hat-trick under a double penalty.

Form: 2/7F21-1

Love At Sea²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: T Gallagher

40/1

Winning pointer who was regressive in bumpers and went with little encouragement tried hurdling after 15 months off when well held at Warwick (16f, good to soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Upped in trip but best watched.

Form: 12040/7

Oneforthefairgreen¹⁹

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

11/1

Fair form on 2 of her 4 starts in bumpers in Ireland and showed a bit more than previously in this sphere when third in mares' maiden at Fakenham (20f, good) earlier this month, staying on gradually. Can build on that with Bowen taking over.

Form: 3/72PP-3

Yesanna¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

11/1

Blue Bresil mare who failed to meet expectations that saw her go off near the top of the betting when seventh of 13 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good) on debut earlier this month. Represents a top yard, so worth a second look making a quick switch to hurdling.

Form: 7

Dameofthecotswolds¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 105

4/5

Stepped up on previous form over timber when second in juvenile handicap at Cheltenham last month, suited by strong pace. Shaped better than the bare result from 4 lb out of the weights at Kelso (16.2f, good) earlier in the month and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles.

Forecasts

Dameofthecotswolds (4/5), Miss Maverick (2/1), Oneforthefairgreen (11/1), Yesanna (11/1), Dorset Lady (14/1), Love At Sea (40/1)

DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS has been banging at the door, and, getting weight from her 5 rivals, this looks a good opportunity for Nigel Twiston-Davies' 4-y-o to open her account back in novice company and upped to 2½m for the first time. Miss Maverick arrives chasing a hat-trick, but she may have to settle for silver carrying a double penalty, with hurdling-debutante Yesanna rounding off the shortlist.
