Beauty In The Park (M)
Proved disappointing on hurdles debut (on the back of breathing surgery) when fifth at Wincanton last month but had shown promise when making the frame in a pair of bumpers last season and is likely capable of better in this sphere.

Bee's Kiss (M)
Point winner but sent off long odds and offered little in a brace of outings over hurdles at Wincanton and Exeter last month.

Chatty Girl (M)
Flat-bred mare who won a Newbury bumper last December. Good second in 2m Windsor novice on her hurdles debut in November but failed to build on it when fifth of 8 in novice at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs to bounce ba…

Eremenko (M)
FAV
Well-related Walk In The Park filly who made a winning start in bumper at Southwell in May. Only ninth in listed bumper at Cheltenham on her return but she is worth another chance now going hurdling.

Four Decades (M)
A half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Before Midnight but she has shown little in a couple of bumpers and much more is needed switched to hurdles.

Gilded Glance (M)
Passing Glance mare. Dam fairly useful 2m-21f hurdle winner. The market can guide for this newcomer.

Heron In The Park (M)
[H]
Winning pointer who made a successful Rules debut in Newbury bumper in March. Hooded when a very good fifth in 2m novice hurdle there in November and unseated rider 4th at Kempton (16f) 22 days ago. The clear form pick.

Klassy Pearl (M)
Runner-up both starts in Irish points and she shaped with promise when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Catterick (15.7f, good, 12/1) on her Rules debut 20 days ago. Sure to do better and is well in the mix.

Lyrical Choice (M)
Placed in a pair of bumpers and hinted at promise on her hurdling bow when fifth of 12 in novice at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft, 22/1) 38 days ago. Can build on it.

No Risk Today (M)
[T1]
Fetched £100,000 after winning sole start in Irish points last February. Underwent a wind op before coming in fifth of 11 in bumper here 51 days ago. Respected on her first go over hurdles with tongue tie added.

Rene's Walk (M)
[H]
In the frame in a pair of bumpers but failed to build on her hurdling debut sixth when eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 31 days ago. May still do better for top yard.

She's Delighted (M)
£50,000 buy after winning an Irish point. Has shaped like a stayer in her two bumpers, seventh at Wetherby in November. No forlorn hope now starting out in this sphere.

Miss Carbo (F)
[H]
Fair ex-French hurdler who has shown similar form over hurdles for her new yard, fifth of 6 in listed mares' hurdle over C&D 18 days ago. Not ruled out with hood retained.

Upton's Mighty Oak (F)
