5/1 |
Baby Shally
Scored on hurdle debut at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) last December and bettered that form when placed in Listed race at Doncaster (3m, soft) in March; pulled up in valuable handicap later that month and absent since but connections are evidently keen to switch this winning Irish pointer to chasing.

Lilting Verse
Bumper/hurdle winner who made pretty good start to chasing career when third in tactical race at Ffos Las (2m5f, good to soft) six weeks ago; moves up in trip here and features prominently in calculations.

Tune The Chello
Well treated on old Irish form and has conditions to suit here but has been absent since beaten in a match for Donald McCain in February 2023 and her current ability is tricky to gauge; the betting may provide clues.

Moonlit Potter
Led close home in Lingfield maiden hurdle (2m3f, soft) in February and was not discredited when second here (2m4f, good) in March; makes chase/handicap debut after 243-day layoff and should have a future over fences.

Jeune Belle
Bumper/hurdle winner last season but stopped quickly and was pulled up when switched to fences for last month's handicap debut and again failed to finish at Warwick on Thursday.

Melusine De Pail
0-6 over hurdles but returned from break with respectable third at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month and last year's Irish point win bodes well for her prospects over fences; no surprise if she features.

Raindance Queen
Not beaten far when seventh at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month, her second chase, but is effectively 13lb higher from out of the weights here and can't be recommended.
