15-race maiden but has plenty of placed form and she got competitive a long way out before picked off by Shaw's Cross here recently; could easily go one better should this pan out differently.

Doyannie

10st 2lb

J: Rex Dingle

T: Anthony Honeyball

Everything fell into place for Plumpton win (2m1f, good) in February but she's not the easiest to win with and her finishing effort was weak there last time (2m3f); the blinkers tried then are soon discarded and the likelihood of a strong pace up front should benefit her; being 12lb out of the handicap makes life difficult.

Seemed to have quite a bit left in the tank when opening account under confident Rex Dingle ride at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month, her third start for Anthony Honeyball; 9lb higher here but should cope if the ground softens; must be considered in current form.

Struggled for Seamus Mullins but he won over fences on his final start for Henry De Bromhead (July 2021) and the ability is there if his new trainer can get him back on track; market interesting.

J: James Bowen

T: Warren Greatrex

2m1f chase win off today's mark in 2023 is his contribution to the Greatrex yard's 40% strike-rate with chasers here; mostly solid efforts this year since returning from absence, and the slight rise back up in trip is a likely plus having found it all happening too quickly at Plumpton latest (cheekpieces added, retained).

Scored three times over fences (at up to 2m4f) in the first half of 2023; quite lightly raced since but comes here on the back of a good third of nine in 2m5f handicap chase at Hereford 25 days ago; needs considering with cheekpieces added.

J: James Bowen

Three-time chase winner who is well handicapped on old form and returned from long absence with fairly encouraging run in February; only third best on merit when well-held second of five at Doncaster (2m3f, good) later that month but still considered here.

Form & Verdict
Appreciated chasing the strong pace back in trip over C&D (good to soft) four weeks ago and collared Doyannie, who played her part in the fast gallop; no good thing to confirm those placings off 3lb higher but clearly a contender.
