Crystal Box (M)
80/1, eleventh of 13 in novice hurdle at this course (2m, soft) on her NH debut 31 days ago. This Crystal Ocean mare goes up in trip with lots to find.

Davita Blaze (M)
4/1, only sixth of 8 in bumper at Warwick (2m, soft) on her debut 33 days ago. Clearly thought capable of better so possibilities now going over hurdles.

Johnny's Belle (M)
15/2, third of 5 in bumper at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) on her debut 9 days ago. This Malinas mare is a winner in points and no forlorn hope starting out in this sphere.

Kernie D'airy (M)
FAV
Won maiden bumper at Durtal in November 2024 for Hugo Merienne. Changed hands for £155,000 after but a tailed-off tenth of 11 in listed bumper at Newbury on UK/yard debut 13 months ago. Not written off for good yard after an absence.

L'aventara (M)
Kayf Tara mare. Sister to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Braventara. Has won 3 of her 5 starts in points, including last 2 (latest February 21). Well in the mix on her hurdles bow.

Svelte Silhouette (M)
Hooded when a debut third in a Wincanton bumper in November. However, she has shown little in 3 hurdle runs since, going freely when ninth in 15f novice there 20 days ago.

Tipperary Star (M)
Placed on her first 3 bumper outings in 2022 but very lightly raced and has offered little since returning from over 2 years off. Others appeal more.

Isabella Islay (F)
[T]
Scalo filly who took a big step forward from her debut when a staying-on third of 9 in juvenile hurdle here 42 days ago. This step up in trip promises to suit. Big player.

931- | R Patrick | C Boultbee-Brooks | 4 | 66.2 kg |

Millady (F)
Little show in a pair of bumpers but much better signs on her hurdling bow when a running-on fifth of 7 in juvenile at Wetherby (2m, soft, 100/1) 27 days ago. Very much one to consider over this longer distance.
