Selected odds by:

Cherie D'am⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 131| BF| D

13/2

Progressed into quite a useful novice hurdler last season and sound start over fences when close-up last of 3 in a Carlisle novice (20f) 49 days ago. Promises to do better and is worthy of respect.

Form: 12123-3

El Elefante³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 130| D

7/1

Fairly useful hurdler, scoring twice over this sort of trip last term, and made a winning start to her chasing career in novice at Worcester on return. Solid third in listed event since and should be on the premises.

Form: 51F4-13

Ilovethenightlife³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 127| D

12/1

A fairly useful winning hurdler who built on an encouraging chasing debut when landing a Kempton handicap a month ago. This is tougher but may not have reached her limit.

Form: 1P53-31

Mary^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 108

150/1

Off the mark in big-field Stratford handicap (16.3f) in August. Would have won but for falling at Worcester on chase debut at Worcester in September but below form over hurdles last time and this looks a big ask.

Form: 412F23

Smiling Getaway⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N A Twiston-Davies| OR: 126| C

7/1

Winning Irish pointer who landed first 2 starts in mares' novice hurdles (on soft/heavy) last winter prior to finishing third in Grade 2 company. Improved again when making a winning chase bow/return at Ffos Las two months ago and can make her presence felt back up in class.

Form: 4/1130-1

Springtime Promise³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 129| D

12/1

Showed useful form when completing his hat-trick over hurdles in February. Not at best since, including on chasing debut at Carlisle last month, but return to testing conditions is in her favour.

Form: 11119-3

Telepathique²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 122| C

15/2

Boasts an excellent strike rate and maintained unbeaten record over fences when scoring at this course last month. Bold jumper with a good attitude, so well worth her place at this level.

Form: 10/21-11

You Wear It Well²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 141| BF| D

10/11

Won Grade 2 Mares' Novice Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2023 and successful return at Wetherby last November. Didn't really fire afterwards but solid start to chasing in listed contest at Bangor a month ago and is fancied to go one better.

Form: 13237-2

Forecasts

You Wear It Well (7/4), Cherie D'am (4/1), El Elefante (6/1), Springtime Promise (7/1), Ilovethenightlife (7/1), Telepathique (10/1), Smiling Getaway (10/1), Mary (33/1)

YOU WEAR IT WELL is the best hurdler in this field and made a positive start to chasing when runner-up in a similar event at Bangor last time, so she gets the marginal vote over Telepathique, who has made a terrific start in this sphere and promises to go well again. Cherie d'Am is one of several others to consider in a fascinating mares' event.
