Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110| D

4/1

Successful final 2 starts in 2022/23 before an 18-month absence. Stepped up on comeback run when fifth of 10 at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in December, but wasn't in the same form at Wincanton last time. She's now below her last winning mark, though.

Form: 211/353

Moviddy^p,t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: Noel Williams| OR: 106| D

4/5

Winning hurdler but without a win over fences. However, from her falling mark there has been better signs last 2 starts, beaten only by a progressive type at this C&D (good to soft) last time. Could be ready to open her chase account.

Form: 4-46832

Inspiratrice^h⁴⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 104| BF

13/2

Improved over fences last season, finishing a good second of 5 in mares' novice at Exeter (17.5f, heavy) final outing in 2023. However, failed to repeat that effort in handicap at Leicester next time, so she needs to get back on the up after 13 months off.

Form: 30/4622-

Aunty Christine^h²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: L Wadham| OR: 89

4/1

Offered little in bumpers last season but showed more when making the frame in 2 of her 3 qualifying runs over hurdles. However, in first-time hood she finished down the field sent handicapping at Warwick (19f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Form: 70-3549

Forecasts

Moviddy (4/5), Sainte Doctor (4/1), Aunty Christine (4/1), Inspiratrice (13/2)

MOVIDDY has been heading back in the right direction on her last 2 starts, runner-up at this C&D last month with the winner going on to score at listed level, so she can take advantage of her reduced mark this time around. Sainte Doctor has also dropped to a handy mark and is feared most.
