Sweet Honey B (M)
Winner of sole start between the flags and showed promise on Rules debut in a bumper at Aintree in October 2023. Followed that with decent placed efforts in maiden/novice hurdles and was entitled to need last month's reappearance/handicap …

Gower Spirit (M)
Sprung 28/1 surprise in Uttoxeter maiden (heavy) in November but has failed to back that up since, for all that an overly-aggressive ride in first-time cheekpieces (discarded here) didn't help on second run in handicap company at Chepstow …

Ballerina Boxer (M)
[H]
Fair ex-Irish 3m hurdles winner in June but she was out with the washing at Limerick when last seen in October/final run for William Harvey. Opposable on debut for new yard.

Feet On The Ground (M)
Remains a maiden but latest second in an 8-runner Southwell handicap (20.4f, good to soft) is up there with the best of her efforts under Rules. Remains on a workable back up 2 lb and she has to enter calculations.

Noble Grace (M)
Encouraging start to career when second of 18 in bumper at Cheltenham last spring. No great shakes in 3 qualifying runs in this sphere but likely to be better off now handicapping and she's one to note in the betting.

Jessie Jump Jet (M)
Lightly-raced maiden who posted a good fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) last February. However, she was pulled up at Southwell the following month and, absent since, is probably best watched starting out f…

Fay Ce Que Voudras (M)
[TP1]
Has found things tougher since opening her account in a similar event here around 2 years ago but, on the upside, she's now some 15 lb below that winning mark. Yard saddled the winner of this 12 months ago and a bold show would be no great…

Make Sunshine (M)
[T]
Maiden under various codes and while she wouldn't be without each-way hope if able to reproduce the form of her C&D third off a 6 lb higher mark last spring, her subsequent efforts have lacked spark.

Jamaicaine (M)
FAV
Much improved when getting off the mark in 13-runner C&D handicap (good to soft) last month. Hiked up 10 lb but it could be that things have now clicked for her and she's a major player.

Harthill (M)
Off for over 2 years following shock Stratford success and, unsurprisingly, shaped as if needing the run when well held at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago. Entitled to strip fitter now but others preferred all the same.

Time Was (M)
Maiden under Rules who shaped encouragingly from her reduced mark after 5 months off when second to a thriving stablemate in 9-runner handicap at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) in November. Since undergone a wind op and likely to make …

Formel Park (M)
[P]
Appeared to be on her way to a winning chase debut when departing 2 out at Ludlow in November. Atoned for that when scoring at Sedgefield 7 days later but she was pulled up back there next time and she's 0-8 in this sphere.

Lady Fortune (M)
[T]
Lightly-raced sort who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 9 in handicap at Market Rasen (23f, good) on final run for Max Comley last summer. Absent since and will probably need the run starting out for ner new yard here.

Still looking for first success but posted another creditable effort when fourth of 13 in 19f Taunton handicap last time. Place possibilities off the same mark.
