3rd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Had 10-34 strike-rate when trained in France, including four chase wins; not seen since finishing fifth in Listed handicap hurdle in October but will be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination and it will be interesting to see what Venetia Williams can do with her. |

22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Thorough stayer who gained last season's chasing win at Sandown (3m, good to soft) in March; not quite in same form at Plumpton later that month but has good record when fresh and begins her new campaign on a workable mark; had wind operation in August; good chance. |

31st Mar 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Third in Sussex National (3m4f) in January under Freddie Gingell on sole outing at this track; having a pretty solid campaign, winning at Sandown (3m, good to soft) on latest outing, and should be on the premises despite her return to career-high mark. |
4/1 |

9th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Finished a fine third in Listed chase at Newbury (2m7f, soft) and filled the same position in Plumpton's Sussex National (3m4f) 18 days later; found only one too good in the Grand Military Gold Cup over C&D (soft) last time despite being hampered and losing a shoe; solid claims. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Likeable mare with a consistent profile but her only chase win came off a 12lb lower mark and she's gone up 5lb for performing above herself in the face of a stiff task in a Listed race for mares last time (2m4f; fine at 3m and on soft); possibly flattered by that and opposable off current mark. |

26th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Had given some indications that a long-distance challenge might suit and, in a first-time tongue-tie after wind surgery, she was only 4l away over 3m5f at Bangor two months ago (heavy; Duke Of Deception runner-up); this now looks the way forward with her; respected. |

30th Oct 2024 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Improved when switched to fences with cheekpieces last term, winning 2m7f chases at Huntingdon (soft) and Lingfield (heavy); form tailed off after that but fair run after a break with no headgear (not on here either) earlier this month (2m5f, good to soft); not sure this will be her ideal track. |

Verdict
The forecast heavy ground swings the vote in favour of ROSE OF ARCADIA (nap). Second choice Haute Estime is interesting back at Warwick, while Fortunefavorsdbold remains unexposed over fences.[Steve Boow]
