Selected odds by:

Beau Della^h1³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine

8/1

Showed fair form when in the frame all 3 starts in bumpers, albeit giving trouble at the start at Kelso on latest outing. Hood applied for hurdle debut and bred to be suited by the longer trip.

Form: 4-22

Bing Belle^t⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball

6/1

Offered more than she had in a bumper 6 months earlier in a first-time tongue strap when fourth of 13 in a novice hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 43 days ago.

Form: 0-4

Final Escape²⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

4/1

Half-sister to 4 winners, including fair hurdler/useful chaser Final Assault and fairly useful hurdler Last Encounter. Produced a promising first effort when second of 14 in a Galway bumper on sole outing for Margaret Mullins. Sold for 40,000 gns after and is an interesting hurdling newcomer.

Form: 2-

Gaot^t⁸⁰⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 87| BF

12/1

Modest maiden hurdler. Ran respectably when fourth at Newton Abbot on final start in 2021/22. Sold from Harry Fry's stable for £9,000 after and absent since.

Lady Showtime¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

150/1

Only hinted at ability on her second outing in bumpers and achieved little on her recent Worcester hurdling debut. Up in trip.

Form: 7-66

Leave Her To Me⁴³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

22/1

Built on debut promise when landing 7-runner bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good) in August 2022. Well held at Cheltenham 8 months later and missed the following season. First run for yard after leaving Fergal O'Brien.

Form: 910/

Moonshine Girl¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D J Gilligan⁽³⁾| T: P J Gilligan

33/1

Well held in maiden hurdle/bumper.

Form: 06

My Girl Katie^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris| OR: 82

14/1

Poor maiden hurdler who disappointment at Stratford last time and is up against it on these terms.

Form: 667-357

Scarlet O'Tara¹⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole

7/4

Showed promise in bumpers and has done the same both starts over hurdles, including when a staying-on third at Hereford (21.7f) back in January. Remains capable of better, for all that the drop back in trip is a slight concern.

Form: 524/73-

Tique⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 92| C

8/1

Bumper winner at the fourth attempt here in May 2023 but has shown just modest form at best in 7 hurdle outings, tending to make mistakes.

Form: 44674-5

Forecasts

Scarlet O'Tara (7/4), Final Escape (4/1), Bing Belle (6/1), Beau Della (8/1), Tique (8/1), Gaot (12/1), My Girl Katie (14/1), Leave Her To Me (22/1), Moonshine Girl (33/1), Lady Showtime (150/1)

FINAL ESCAPE produced a promising first effort when second of 14 in a Galway bumper on debut for Margaret Mullins 9 months ago and, having been sold for 40,000 gns in October, she makes plenty of appeal now starting out over hurdles at an ordinary level. Scarlet O'Tara undoubtedly remains capable of better, for all that the drop back in trip may not be ideal, while Beau Della ought to be up to making her presence felt judged on her bumper exploits.
