Jackie Hobbs (M)
FAV
£130,000 point winner started 2-2 in bumpers prior to finding less than looked likely in the Nickel Coin at Aintree. Straight back on track when winning with a bit in hand on hurdles debut/return at Newbury (carries 3 lb penalty here). Tha…

Amelia's Star (M)
Progressive in bumpers, running creditably in Grade 2 at Aintree final start last season and showed plenty on hurdles bow when runner-up at Huntingdon (15.8f) last month, pulling clear of the remainder. May improve upped in trip.

A Path To Ronda (M)
Went the right way in bumpers prior to readily scoring on her hurdling debut at Stratford (22f) on reappearance. Backed that up under a penalty but no match for Supreme Malinas in an Exeter novice (18.5f) last time. Still early days but wi…

Bittalemon (M)
[P]
Fair 1½m Flat winner for William Haggas who showed similar form to land a pair of Cartmel novices over the summer, latterly when putting her experience to good use against a clutch of hurdling first-timers. Remains to be seen how she fares…

La Zoubida (M)
Got off the mark in a Market Rasen bumper in February (before finding Grade 2 company too hot) but justified support to make a winning hurdles debut at Sedgefield. Followed up with bit in hand under a penalty at Kelso last time and improvi…

Park Princess (M)
[T1]
Looked a good prospect when winning a Newbury bumper on debut in December 2023 (not disgraced in better company after) and enhanced yard's fine record with horses making seasonal return when winning on hurdles bow at Ludlow last month. Ope…

Roses All The Way (M)
[T1]
Second on sole start in points and fairly useful runner-up in listed bumper behind Supreme Malinas last season. Shaped as if better for the run when third behind La Zoubida on reappearance/hurdle debut at Sedgefield and may have more to of…

Supreme Malinas (M)
Irish point winner whose bumper form had plenty of substance and she made an impressive start over hurdles when seeing off A Path To Ronda by 4 lengths at Exeter last month, quickened clear and well on top at finish. In excellent hands and…

Walks The Talk (M)
Walk In the Park mare who made a promising start over hurdles when justifying support at Roscommon and followed up under a penalty against geldings when making all (jumped well) to land a Kelso novice, only kept up to work late on. Could b…
