Galice Macalo

12st 2lb

J: Mr Peter Summers

T: Jane Williams

Returned to form with an easy win under Peter Summers when back over fences at Leicester (2m, soft) last month; that was a first chase victory at the 11th attempt and she beat only two rivals, but it's hard to knock that performance otherwise and a 4lb rise isn't harsh.

Galice Macalo

12st 0lb

J: David Noonan

T: Jane Williams

Returned to hurdles for a dominant 10l success at Chepstow in January (soft) off only a 3lb lower mark but lost her way a little afterwards; following wind surgery she seems back in good order judged on recent chase efforts (0-10 compared with 4-16 hurdling) and has plenty in her favour back in this discipline; should give it a good go from the front.

Form: 30-462 D

5 yo Filly

OR: 110

Form & Verdict
Has taken pretty well to chasing this season and was beaten under 1l when keeping on stoutly for second behind much higher-rated rival in Exeter novice (2m1f, soft; unraced on heavy) three weeks ago; mark can't be raised for that run and she'll be hard to beat if in similar form here.

Inspiratrice

11st 3lb

J: Sean Bowen

T: Nicky Martin

Hurdle winner in 2022 (2m, good to soft) who comes into it on the pick of her chase form, a close second at Exeter (2m1f, soft) in late 2023; has to show that drying ground suits but she's entitled to have a say after needing her comeback run following an absence.

Form: 32-U31 CD

Last run: 28 days

W: 11st 7lb

7 yo Mare

OR: 111

Form & Verdict
Opened chasing account at third attempt, making all in three-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) last month; the value of that form is open to question (odds-on favourite disappointed) but she's still on a workable mark if judged on hurdling form and still has low mileage.
