Hello Cello (M)
[T]
Successful in similar company at Fontwell last October but didn't give her running on return to hurdles there last time, when possibly still feeling the effects of a fall over fences 3 months prior.
|
C P O'Shea | H Fry | 7 | 76.2 kg |

8/1

| 5th | 2 | — |
Mistral Blue (M)
Backed up last season's Hereford success when runner-up at the same track on reappearance, but she ran no sort of race when last seen at Huntingdon in early-December.
|
Fern O'Brien | F O'Brien | 8 | 75.3 kg |

| 4th | 3 | — |
Innisfree Pearl (M)
Made it back-to-back seconds in handicaps when chasing home an all-the-way winner at Hereford last time, and she ought to go close over this slightly longer trip.
|
Thomas Bellamy | A King | 5 | 75.3 kg |

| 1st | 4 | — |
Shesonnet (M)
Finished a flattering second at Uttoxeter before running poorly on qualifying run last December, and the handicapper hasn't done her any favours.
|
Harry Bannister | B I Case | 5 | 74.8 kg |

| 2nd | 5 | — |
Jessie Jump Jet (M)
[P]
Wasn't disgraced in first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap when third behind Innisfree Pearl at Hereford on her latest start, and she cannot be totally discounted over a slightly longer trip.
|
Benjamin Poste | S Drinkwater | 6 | 69.9 kg |

Flying Pimpernel (M)
Showed fair form to place in bumpers, and while she didn't make much of an impact in maidens, there may be better to come now handicapping over a longer trip.
|
Joe Anderson | Jamie Snowden | 5 | 69.9 kg |

| 9th | 7 | — |
Crystal Box (M)
Unpromising in points before finishing well beaten at long odds in a trio of hurdles. Does at least benefit from the switch to a low-grade handicap.
|
Tom Broughton | M Comley | 5 | 68.5 kg |

Jlow (M)
[HT]
Placed twice in handicaps last summer, and while below form in 3 starts this year, a hood is now added to her usual tongue strap and she's one to note for support off a much-reduced mark.
|
Lorcan Williams | R Potter | 5 | 68.5 kg |

11/1

Abbey Law (M)
[T1P]
Has lost her way since winning a maiden at Fakenham last year and hopes rest on the fitting of a first-time tongue strap.
|
Tom Cannon | L Wadham | 5 | 68.5 kg |

Burgeon (M)
Offered little in a trio of maidens this time last year, though hails from a capable yard, and at least warrants a look in the betting upped in trip on handicap bow.
|
Nick Slatter | D Killahena & G McPherson | 5 | 67.6 kg |

Eskimo Sam (M)
[HT]
Failed to come on for her handicap/stable debut when sixth of 7 at Newton Abbot last time. Now tried over a longer trip in a refitted tongue tie, but it's hard to be confident.

Lee Edwards | A Ralph | 7 | 67.6 kg |

Luna Run (M)
FAV
[P]
Reported to have a respiratory issue again when third of 9 at Plumpton on final start for Evan Williams last October, though she's had a breathing operation ahead of this first start for her excellent new yard, and looks interesting.

Paul O'Brien | Harry Derham | 7 | 65.8 kg |

Mc'flo (M)
Looks limited and has fared no better for the switch to handicaps.
