Audacious Annie²⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| D

18/1

Half-sister to numerous winners and justified strong market support when making a successful debut in a Wetherby bumper around a year ago. Easy to pick holes in that form, though, and didn't fire in listed company at Market Rasen 9 months ago.

Form: 16-

Crying Lightning

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

50/1

€26,000 3-y-o, Shirocco filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Guitar Pete. Tough starting point for a newcomer.

Form:

Everest²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore

66/1

Kayf Tara mare who was a promising second of 11 on her Southwell debut in June but failed to build on it over C&D three weeks ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 27

Hay Meadow⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| D

100/1

Point winner who made the ideal start under Rules when landing a 5-runner bumper at Perth 51 days ago. This demands a lot more, though.

Form: 51-1

Korinthia²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

15/8

Filly who hails from top yard and has looked an excellent prospect in landing her first two starts, again impressive at Limerick last time. Sets the standard with more to come.

Form: 11

Riviera Walk³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

33/1

Half-sister to French hurdler/chase winner Diamantaire and just held on when making a successful debut at Sedgefield 38 days ago. Should do better, so not out of place in this company.

Form: 1

Seo Linn⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey| D

5/2

4/5, Built on promising debut when winning 8-runner bumper at Ballinrobe (16.4f, soft) in August followed by a respectable fourth in a listed event at Gowran. Not a forlorn hope.

Form: 214

Settle Down Jill²⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

10/1

€8,000 3-y-o, £120,000 4-y-o, Affinisea filly. Half-sister to 2 winners, including fair chaser Soloman Lane. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Nietzsche. Won only outing in Irish points (Feb 2024) and significant that top yard starts her out at this level.

Form: 1-

Siog Geal²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| BF

7/1

£80,000 buy after winning her sole outing in Irish points in February and showed plenty when a clear second at Aintree first time out under Rules. Not discounted.

Form: 1-2

St Irene¹⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse| D

17/2

Out of a hurdling winner and well prepared for debut when scoring at Southwell 6 months ago. Could take a step forward if fit for this.

Form: 1

Strong Run²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien

12/1

Sister to useful bumper winner/very smart hurdler Strong Leader and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Strong Glance. Solid start when runner-up at Uttoxeter and, given her pedigree, can be expected to improve.

Form: 2

That'll Do Moss¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: F O'Brien| D

16/1

Successful on second of 2 starts in points and maintained unbeaten record in 7-runner bumper at Market Rasen 5 months ago. This demands a lot more.

Form: 51-1

Non-Runners

Jasmine D'airy¹⁹¹

Forecasts

Korinthia (15/8), Seo Linn (5/2), Siog Geal (7/1), Jasmine D'airy (8/1), St Irene (17/2), Settle Down Jill (10/1), Strong Run (12/1), That'll Do Moss (16/1), Audacious Annie (18/1), Riviera Walk (33/1), Crying Lightning (50/1), Everest (66/1), Hay Meadow (100/1)

KORINTHIA has looked well above average to date and her yard has no peer in this division, so she's preferred to Jasmine d'Airy, who made a successful start under Rules for her former yard at Tipperary 6 months ago. Point winner Settle Down Jill looks a big danger.
