18/1
Winner of sole start in bumpers here back in 2023, but she hasn't threatened in 4 subsequent starts over hurdles (also 0-14 on the Flat since winning that bumper).

Caught the eye on yard debut when patiently-ridden tenth at Uttoxeter in December, but it would be something of an understatement to say that she has failed to build on that since. Tongue strap applied.

Age: 4|  Weight: 11-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR:  92
5/1
Fair Flat winner for Nigel Hawke and has finished in the money 3 times from half-a-dozen starts over hurdles, including in back-to-back 16.8f Newton Abbot handicaps for new yard the last twice. Big player.

17/2
Fair maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien. Winless following 6 attempts in this sphere, but placed both starts since going down the handicap route, latterly finding just one too good at Huntingdon (15.8f, good), and she merits respect.

10/11
Career best when easily opening her account at Fakenham (2m, good) last month. This 9 lb higher mark proved beyond her at Ludlow next time, but that was a 0-110 handicap and she's respected now eased into a 0-95.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Hogan| T: G Hanmer| OR:  82| BF
5/1
Remains a maiden over hurdles but has several creditable placed efforts to her name, not least when bumping into an improver at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) last time. Likely to be on the premises once again.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-1| J: Theo Gillard| T: Mark Gillard| OR:  79
20/1
Runner-up in a Plumpton bumper on debut, but hasn't built on that since and she's essentially opposable.

Penthouse Poppetp23
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-11| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR:  75
16/1
Remains winless both in points and under Rules (0-23 overall) and she was beaten a fair way when third of 6 over 2¾m here earlier this month. Hard to know whether this drop in trip will be a good or bad thing.

What An Iconh10
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR:  68
50/1
Poor maiden on Flat who has offered little over hurdles so far. Failed to get beyond the first flight (unseated rider) at Warwick recently and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Auntie Maggie (10/11), Clear Storm (5/1), Northern Rose (5/1), Formel Park (6/1), Window Of Time (17/2), Penthouse Poppet (16/1), Basilette (18/1), Lusso Milan (20/1), What An Icon (50/1), Intertwine (50/1)

18:30 Stratford - 31 May 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The vote goes to CLEAR STORM, who has lost little caste in defeat both starts at Newton Abbot for her new yard the last twice and she remains on a workable mark. The selection may have most to fear from Northern Rose, but Aunt Maggie and Window of Time are also plausible dangers.
