Selected odds by:

Dorset Lady^t²⁰⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: R P McLernon| T: G Brown

50/1

Modest bumper performer in Ireland who made the frame once from 3 starts in maidens on the Flat. Yet to fire over hurdles for this yard, however.

Form: 7/393-PP

Future Fortune⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex

13/2

Made a winning debut in bumper at Hereford last October but she came in a well-held fourth on her hurdling bow at Huntingdon (2m4f) in November. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 1830-4

Granny Hawkins²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

14/1

Runner-up in a Southwell bumper on debut in June 2023 but below that level on both completed start over hurdles since. May still do better when handicapping though.

Form: 208-F7

I've Madeupmymind²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| BF

15/8

Showed promise in bumpers and again when third of 9 in novice hurdle (13/8) at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. Likely player with more to offer.

Form: 245-33

Loud And Proud⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Megan Fox⁽⁷⁾| T: Harry Derham

50/1

Has offered little in two maiden hurdles over C&D, coming in ninth of 11 on latter occasion 9 days ago.

Form: 442-369

Somethingtosomeone⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: Ben Clarke

15/2

13/2 and hooded, encouraging third of 7 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) on NH debut 44 days ago. Also runner-up on sole start in Irish points so can take a step forward.

Form: 2-3

Stylia¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Godfrey| T: A J Honeyball

20/1

Runner-up in an Irish point and hinted at promise when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy, 66/1) 16 days ago. May do better still.

Form: F2804

Miss Altea Blue^t1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 130

11/8

A fairly useful ex-French hurdler this summer. Looked in need of the experience on her yard bow when fifth of 10 in Newton Abbot juvenile in November. The clear form pick and she remains one to be interested in.

Form: 7-4225

Forecasts

Miss Altea Blue (11/8), I've Madeupmymind (15/8), Future Fortune (13/2), Somethingtosomeone (15/2), Granny Hawkins (14/1), Stylia (20/1), Dorset Lady (50/1), Loud And Proud (50/1)

Paul Nicholls' French recruit MISS ALTEA BLUE should have learned a lot from her debut fifth on these shores at Newton Abbot and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark. Ben Pauling's I've Madeupmymind has better days ahead of her and appeals as the one to chase the selection home, ahead of Granny Hawkins and Somethingtosomeone.
