Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton| OR: 101| BF

Off the mark at the third attempt over fences in 23.5f Huntingdon handicap in April. Didn't jump well enough at Fakenham on return 3 weeks ago but entitled to be sharper here back down in class. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: 4/3221-4

3/1

A three-time winner last season and she posted her best effort of the current campaign when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) 18 days ago. Of interest again back chasing.

Made a winning chasing debut at Kelso in October 2024 but mixed record since, getting no further than the fourth when gambled on at Carlisle last week.

4/1

Still to score over fences and failed to see things out both starts since a creditable second at Fontwell on reappearance. Change of headgear.

Form: 72F-2P5

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 83

15/8

Surpassed lowly hurdles form when successful on chase debut at Market Rasen and quickly resumed winning ways there last week. Still unexposed and obvious claims under a penalty if seeing out longer trip (sister to a 3¼m winner).

Form: 0-54141

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: J Walton| OR: 71

28/1

Successful twice in handicap hurdles at Hexham back in 2022 but she's 0-16 in this sphere and up against it from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Florita (2/1), Asa (3/1), Overabottleofred (7/2), Innisfree Lass (5/1), Similar Story (7/1), West Lawn (33/1)

FLORITA is bred to stay this far so she can defy a penalty and make it 3 wins from 4 starts over fences. Asa went close to landing a gamble at Wetherby last month and remains of interest back chasing.
