Regal Renaissance²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 110

13/2

Resumed winning ways over hurdles at Chepstow in March and backed it up with 2 good efforts, just touched off at Ludlow on chase debut in May. Shaped as if in decent heart after 6 months off when fourth there 4 weeks ago, a mixed round of jumping seemingly taking its toll late on. Can build on that.

Form: 2312-24

Lady Jago¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 110| BF| C

9/2

Won only start in Irish points. Promise in 3 bumpers and bright start over hurdles this autumn, landing mares' maiden here (21f) before good second under a penalty next 2 starts. Of interest on handicap/chase bow.

Form: 735-122

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 109| BF| D

5/2

Opened his account in this sphere at Lingfield in February. Signed off with a creditable fourth from out of the weights at Cheltenham and made a respectable return at Ludlow last month. In the mix.

Form: 271B4-5

Jeune Belle²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 108

20/1

Useful bumper winner who landed short odds on her 2m Lingfield hurdle debut in December. Failed to kick on after, however, and pulled up at Fakenham on chase bow/return.

Form: 21PP3-P

Fancy Stuff^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: T R Gretton| OR: 102| D

22/1

Bumper winner who failed to progress over jumps for Dan Skelton. However, she's come good over fences this season, impressing greatly with the way she moved into contention when scoring at Bangor in June. Was notably easy to back after 5 months off when always behind at Southwell 4 weeks ago.

Form: 666-115

Cluain Aodha²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 100| C

3/1

Fair handicap hurdler who belied unflattering odds sent chasing after 15 months off when third at Uttoxeter 20 days ago. Big shout off same mark if this doesn't come too soon.

Form: 4/254F-3

Lady Pretender²⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 99WS

4/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France. Changed hands for €130,000 but well held over hurdles both starts for this yard. Off 8 months. Switches from hurdles to chase.

Form: 56/2257-

Forecasts

So Said I (5/2), Cluain Aodha (3/1), Lady Pretender (4/1), Lady Jago (9/2), Regal Renaissance (13/2), Jeune Belle (20/1), Fancy Stuff (22/1)

CLUAIN AODHA made a promising start over fences after an absence when third at Uttoxeter and looks the one to beat off the same mark. Irish point winner/progressive hurdler Lady Jago is an interesting recruit to chasing and is feared most.
