Lydeard Girl (M)
Well held in bumpers but left previous efforts behind over hurdles switched to a handicap when second of 6 at this course (soft) 5 weeks ago, shaping like a stayer over a markedly longer trip. Bit surprising to see her back down in distanc…

Shanagolden Girl (M)
Runner-up in an Irish point but tailed off in a bumper and not much promise in 3 starts over hurdles. This step back up in trip/switch to a handicap could well see her in a significantly better light, however.

Independent Lady (M)
In a top yard but has shaped with only minor promise in a bumper/over hurdles so far. Opening mark reflects that and she could well leave those efforts behind back up in trip.

After Many Days (M)
FAV
[P]
Maiden who has found one too strong on 3 of her last 4 starts, most recently in 6-runner event at Huntingdon (heavy) last month. Up 1 lb on the back of that but she has a race of this nature within grasp on that evidence.

Moorsbrook (M)
[H]
Placed twice in bumpers and off 20 months prior to return/hurdles bow in December. Fared better than previously when fourth of 13 in 2m novice at this course (soft) 5 weeks ago and could raise her game again now tackling a handicap for the…

Jlow (M)
[T]
In decent nick over hurdles last summer but ran no sort of race switched to the Flat at Bath when last seen in September. Handicapper given her a squeak on return.

Getarose (M)
Back on track to a degree but didn't jump well enough to do any better when fourth of 6 in handicap at Huntingdon (heavy) last month. Would be no certainty to build on that here.

Conor Ring | Mrs C Williams | 5 | 71.2 kg |

Make Sunshine (M)
[H1]
Without a win in 18 races and has failed to complete all 4 starts this season, most recently when falling on chasing bow last month. Quickly back over hurdles and needs a first-time hood to be transformative.

Little Lady Lucy (M)
[P]
Showed more than previously over hurdles when fifth of 11 at Fontwell last May. However, she's gone backwards from that in 4 starts since, again showing nothing at Plumpton last month.
