Selected odds by:

Trump Lady²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: S Hosie| OR: 99| CD

14/1

Dual winner earlier in her career and, with a reappearance from a lengthy absence under her belt, she returned to something like her best when scoring over C&D in May. Pulled up at Southwell since, so needs to bounce back.

Form: 615/81P

Sailing Grace^t1³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Godfrey| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 94| C

14/1

Made a winning debut here in autumn 2022. Returned from an absence to finish fourth on 19f Fontwell handicap debut in March but below form since.

Form: 12P/3P-6

Only Fools^h,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 87

7/2

Dual hurdle winner last season, latterly at Fontwell (19f, heavy) in March. Not at best when seventh at Worcester a couple of weeks ago, but could bounce back.

Form: 125-637

Fenney Brook¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Katy Price| OR: 85

13/2

Has slipped in the weights and was right back on track when third at Market Rasen a fortnight ago. Worth a chance to build on that encouragement and capitalise on a handy mark.

Form: 1930-63

Maroochi³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 82| BF| CD

9/4

Winless since 2022 but she arrives in decent nick, third of 10 at this course last time. Drops back in trip and should give go well again.

Form: 3053-83

J'ventile⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Jones| T: O Signy| OR: 81

28/1

Little impact in bumpers/over hurdles. Steps up in trip for handicap debut but there's still a bit to prove.

Form: 75/0P8-8

Demelza Carne³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 78

40/1

Yet to show much in bumpers/over hurdles but there could be more to come up in trip/switched to handicaps.

Form: 86P-P7

Luna Run³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 74

3/1

Good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, good, 5/1) 36 days ago, well positioned. Still not fully exposed and can make her presence felt if able to build on latest effort.

Form: 4/7745-2

All Blues^b1,t⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: David Noonan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 73

33/1

Modest form on Flat in Ireland and little impact so far over hurdles. Needs blinkers to perk her up.

Form: 8554-5

Forecasts

Maroochi (9/4), Luna Run (3/1), Only Fools (7/2), Fenney Brook (13/2), Sailing Grace (14/1), Trump Lady (14/1), J'ventile (28/1), All Blues (33/1), Demelza Carne (40/1)

Several arrive with chances but FENNEY BROOK is arguably the best handicapped and she gets the marginal vote over C&D winner Maroochi, who has been holding her form well. Luna Run is less exposed than that pair and shouldn't be dismissed.
