Devon Skies¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 93

6/4

Well held in 2 bumpers but offered more when fourth in maiden at this course (16.8f) on hurdling debut. Ran to similar level when second at Newcastle (16.2f, good) 2 weeks ago and she promises to be suited by this step up in trip. Respected.

Form: 0-042

Florita³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathan England| T: S England

100/1

Runner-up on the last 2 of her 3 starts in points but has finished well held both starts in maiden hurdles, the latest at this course (16.8f, soft) last month. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 6/22-88

Myfavouritesister¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: P Neville

28/1

From the family of yard's star jumper The Real Whacker but didn't make much impact in a pair of bumpers in the spring, before hanging badly left when tailed off at Aintree on return. Has work to do sent hurdling.

Form: 55-0

Reel Rosie¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

10/3

Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat (stays 1½m) and some promise when fourth of 10 in mares' maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on hurdling debut 13 days ago. Could be in the mix as she goes up in trip.

Form: 4

Trysting Thorn³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: I A Duncan

14/1

Making third start in bumpers, showed improved form when third of 12 in mares' event at this course last month. Bred to be suited by this longer distance as she makes hurdling debut.

Form: 8-53

Winds Of Winter⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: I Jardine| OR: 87

15/8

More encouragement since switched to handicaps, including when runner-up at Perth (20.2f) on stable debut in September. Ran to similar level when third at the same course (16.2f, soft) last time and she can give her running again back in a maiden.

Form: 00-6623

Crackerjack Queen²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis

16/1

Failed to complete both starts in points, having every chance when falling the second time. Is bred to stay well and shaped accordingly when ninth of 12 in mares' bumper at Uttoxeter on Rules debut last month. Upped in trip for her hurdles bow.

Form: UF-9

Forecasts

Devon Skies (6/4), Winds Of Winter (15/8), Dazzlelikethis (9/4), Reel Rosie (10/3), Trysting Thorn (14/1), Crackerjack Queen (16/1), Myfavouritesister (28/1), Florita (100/1)

Representing last year's winning trainer/jockey combination, DAZZLELIKETHIS held every chance when falling at the last in an Irish point and she could be capable of making a successful start over hurdles. Devon Skies bumped into a promising type on her second outing over hurdles and is feared most, ahead of Reel Rosie.
