Selected odds by:

Blazer Two^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

18/1

Modest handicapper at best on Flat (stays 1½m) who ran to a similar level sent hurdling in a first-time tongue strap after 10 weeks off (had breathing operation) when fourth in 5-runner affair at Market Rasen (16.6f) 3 weeks ago.

Form: 4

Clondaw Fame⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Ewart

8/1

Finished fourth in 3 Irish points and having undergone a breathing operation ahead of his belated Rules debut, showed ability while looking a tricky ride with a hood fitted when second of 7 in 2m novice at Ayr in November. Place claims again.

Form: 444/2

Farmer Jimmy²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

20/1

Type to do better at longer trips in handicaps after this run.

Form: 3-675

Follow The Leader^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Coltherd| T: J S Wainwright

40/1

Pulled up sole start in points and jumped none too fluently when well held on Sedgefield hurdling debut 3 weeks ago.

Form: P-8

Forsa Bay³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: L Morgan

5/1

Showed more than on hurdling debut when fourth of 8 in novice at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) 33 days ago, not knocked about. May do better still.

Form: 0-74

Marquee Lights^h¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby

66/1

Pulled up in 2 maiden hurdles and easily passed over.

Form: PP

Rogue Sea^h1²⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

5/1

Fairly useful at best on Flat (stays 11f), well held in handicaps both starts in 2024. Still of some interest on hurdle debut. Hooded.

Form:

Isabel De Clare²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond

7/1

Showed more than in a pair of bumpers when fifth of 10 in maiden hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, soft, 100/1) on debut in this sphere 21 days ago. That form is just about the best on offer but the drop back in trip isn't sure to suit.

Form: 5-65

Joto²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Paul Collins

40/1

Is seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind and needs this for a mark.

Form: 6450

Queens Wish²⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

10/11

Shantou mare who was bought for €140,000 after winning sole outing in Irish points and is a half-sister to useful 2m hurdle winner/smart chaser Potters Point and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Slanelough, probably stays 3m. Makes plenty of appeal in a winnable-looking race.

Snapaudaciaheros^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies

20/1

Just modest form when making the frame all 3 outings in bumpers and made an inauspicious start over hurdles fitted with a hood at Catterick the previous month.

Form: 4238

Forecasts

Queens Wish (11/8), Rogue Sea (11/4), Isabel De Clare (6/1), Forsa Bay (7/1), Clondaw Fame (8/1), Blazer Two (14/1), Farmer Jimmy (25/1), Follow The Leader (66/1), Snapaudaciaheros (66/1), Joto (100/1), Marquee Lights (100/1)

An ordinary-looking maiden and the one who stands out is QUEENS WISH, who transferred to Dan Skelton's yard for €140,000 after winning her sole outing in Irish points. She can get her Rules career off to the perfect start, with Forsa Bay and Clondaw Fame the pair fancied to give her most to do.
