Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

7/2

Successful sole outing in Irish points and built on encouraging Rules debut when landing a 9-runner bumper at Ludlow in January 2024. Failed to come close to that level both starts over hurdles, reportedly breaking blood vessel on back of another breathing op at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Hood on.

Form: 1/315-3P

Benignitas³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Alan Johns| T: Gordon Treacy

16/1

Modest Irish maiden on Flat in 2021. Has since won in points and displayed some ability when third of 12 at Chepstow (sent off 125/1) last month.

Form: 541/P33

Carro Attrezzi

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter

40/1

Blue Bresil mare out of a maiden hurdler who stayed 2¾m, herself a half-sister to smart chaser (stayed 21f) Easter Meteor. Yard is hardly a regular source of winning newcomers and others make more appeal.

Form:

Clover Pass²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 71

40/1

Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler but she's shown little in the way of promise herself so far, including in handicaps.

Form: 8/P-057P

Gloria Gainer

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph

11/1

Fifth foal, half-sister to fairly useful 23f hurdle winner Hi Ho Phoenix (by Phoenix Reach). Dam unraced half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 3½m) Up The Beat.

Form:

Jena D'oudairies³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 112| BF

2/5

Bumper winner last spring. Fair form when placed in mares' maiden/novice hurdles this winter and while she was disappointing on handicap debut last month, this looks a very good opening.

Form: 331-234

Miss Tiara²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott

33/1

Kayf Tara mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler Honey Jack. Dam (c123/h120), 2¾m-3¼m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to dual bumper winner Gaillimh A Chroi. Had wind surgery ahead of debut and didn't show much in a bumper at Exeter last month.

Form: 9

Edna E Mode^v¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: C Gethings| T: R Stephens

66/1

Modest maiden on the Flat but displayed no aptitude for hurdling both starts during the autumn for Stuart Edmunds. Visor on first time in this code.

Form: RP

Forecasts

Jena D'oudairies (2/5), Bellas Bridge (7/2), Gloria Gainer (11/1), Benignitas (16/1), Miss Tiara (33/1), Carro Attrezzi (40/1), Clover Pass (40/1), Paradise Park (50/1), Edna E Mode (66/1)

JENA D'OUDAIRIES isn't totally bombproof on the back of a tame handicap debut but with credible rivals very thin on the ground, she really should land this. Bellas Bridge would be a major threat if able to get near her bumper form.
