Selected odds by:

Supreme Malinas⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

4/1

Irish point winner who landed listed bumper at Huntingdon in December. Recorded a solid third in Windsor bumper in January so she must enter calculations for top yard.

Form: F1-213

A Path To Ronda⁶⁷

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

8/1

16/1, made a winning start in 13-runner bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 67 days ago. This half-sister to the high-class hurdler/top-class chaser Simonsig is open to improvement. Likely player.

Form: 1

Celtic Queen^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden, posting her best effort when tongue tied and third of 9 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, soft) 35 days ago, clear of rest. This demands more though.

Form: 253

Charisma Cat⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| D

7/4

Looked a good prospect when going 2-2 in bumpers at Southwell and Warwick 6 months apart. Posted a good neck second of 10 in listed bumper at Market Rasen last time, just failing under a patient ride. The form choice.

Form: 112

Dream Shadow⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| BF| D

11/4

Irish point winner and scored in this sphere at Uttoxeter in October. Good third of 10 in listed bumper at Market Rasen 50 days ago. Very much one to consider.

Form: 113-13

Easy Love⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball

18/1

Cost €80,000 after winning an Irish point and 10-runner bumper at Plumpton (17.8f) in December. Can improve further so not ruled out.

Form: 1-41

Gower Spirit

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight

20/1

Yorgunnabelucky mare. Sister to 2 winners, including useful hurdler/chase winner Lucky Zebo. Market can guide for this newcomer.

Form:

Madame La Papillon²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Alice Stevens| T: L Morgan| D

50/1

Made a winning bumper debut at Huntingdon last spring and not disgraced after 11 months off when fifth of 13 in similar company at Warwick 28 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 1-5

Philippa's Choice⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: A Ralph| D

14/1

Built on debut promise when landing 8-runner bumper at Huntingdon 44 days ago, always holding on. May do better still so she can make her presence felt.

Form: F-41

Non-Runners

Roses All The Way²⁸

Weight: 11-2| Age: 6

T: D McCain Jnr J: B S Hughes

Forecasts

Charisma Cat (7/4), Dream Shadow (11/4), Supreme Malinas (4/1), A Path To Ronda (8/1), Roses All The Way (8/1), Philippa's Choice (14/1), Easy Love (18/1), Gower Spirit (20/1), Madame La Papillon (50/1), Celtic Queen (66/1)

CHARISMA CAT went down only narrowly at Market Rasen last time having been patiently ridden and is taken to quickly resume winning ways and go 3-4. Dream Shadow came in a place behind Alan King's mare that day and rates the main danger, although the unexposed Uttoxeter scorer A Path To Ronda could also have a say along with Supreme Malinas and Roses All The Way.
