Queenie St Clair (M)
[H]
Maiden winner on the Flat in Ireland and improved to make a successful start for a new stable in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Wincanton on his Boxing Day return. Holds solid form claims under a 6 lb penalty.

Beauty In The Park (M)
FAV
Fair form when twice in the frame in bumpers and she took a big step forward from her hurdling bow when second of 13 in novice hurdle over C&D (soft) 17 days ago. The clear form pick.

Cast's Georgie (M)
Order of St George mare who came in just seventh of 9 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) on her debut 23 days ago. Lots more is needed.

Geordies Betty (M)
Encouraging debut third of 9 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) 23 days ago. This Geordieland mare can build on it.

Loro White (M)
9/1, hinted at promise when sixth of 12 in bumper at Uttoxeter on her debut 34 days ago, left poorly placed. This Dragon Dancer filly goes over hurdles now and can't be ruled out.

Shanagolden Girl (M)
Picked up for £60,000 after finishing runner-up on the second of her 2 starts between the flags last year. Joined a leading yard after but always behind in Exeter bumper and Taunton novice hurdle either side of Christmas.

| 2nd | 7 | — |
Yeld To Call (M)
Fair form in bumpers and similar level in a pair of novice hurdles, having a wind op before fourth of 11 at Newbury (2m) 20 days ago. No forlorn hope.
