Isabel De Clare
Showed some hurdling promise during the winter but was safely held on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in February, and her run in a good-ground maiden over that C&D last month was even more disappointing; moves up in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces.

- Miss Pippa Brown / V Thompson

40/1 |
Park Hind
0-18 under rules when trained in Ireland; won a five-runner maiden point for new connections last week but has a lot more on her plate here.

Rose Of Kalanisi
Irish raider with 0-14 strike-rate under rules; didn't run badly in a soft-ground handicap chase (3m) on latest outing in January but is quite tricky to weigh up on her return to hurdling for a new stable.

Tread Softly Now
2-4 since switched to handicaps and fitted with cheekpieces, the latter win gained here (2m2f, good; Winds Of Winter second) this month; not yet proven over this far but still makes more appeal than most of these.

Anamanda
0-11 over hurdles but has been knocking on the door since autumn; placed off this mark in competitive series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) last month and can cope with today's drop back in trip; high on the list.

10/1 |
Our Girl Sal
0-10 over hurdles in Ireland but won Irish point by 6l last month (yielding ground); well handicapped on some of her old rules form and well worth a glance in the betting before this stable debut.
|
|

|
- Winds Of Winter
- B S Hughes / I Jardine

|
10/3 |
Winds Of Winter
0-13 over hurdles overall but placed several times for current stable since last summer, most recently when close second to Tread Softly Now here (2m2f, good) two weeks ago; today's trip will also suit; respected.

Bleu Lagune
Showed no significant promise in four maiden/novice hurdles at around 2m4f but has lowly mark for handicap debut and is open to improvement.

- Joe Williamson / P A Kirby

Time Was
Ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) 17 days ago and is now 0-8 over hurdles but her second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) two starts ago was a pretty good effort and she has claims if judged on that.

- She Won't Mind

She Won't Mind
Unable to justify prominence in the betting when pulled up on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft) in December and not seen again since; remains unexposed and might benefit from combination of drop back in trip and refitted hood here, but it takes a leap of faith to support her.

- Far Away West
- Peter Kavanagh / H Burns

|
18/1 |
Far Away West
Ran well to a point when fourth at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) this month, her third start for Hugh Burns, but was beaten about 30l in the end and is now 0-16 over hurdles.

- Florita
- Jonathan England / S England

|
12/1 |
Florita
Runner-up in two of her three Irish points; soundly beaten on all four subsequent hurdling starts but showed a glimmer of promise at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) last time and is one to keep a close eye on in the betting before this handicap debut; tongue-tie fitted.

- Fairland
- Danny McMenamin / C Grant

|
20/1 |
Fairland
0-11 over hurdles; seemingly aided by addition of tongue-tie when twice running respectably at start of this season (2m4f, good) but has fitness to prove after ten-month absence.

- So Ladylike

So Ladylike
Ex-Irish veteran mare who came good for Nick Alexander at second attempt, under Natasha Cookson at Hexham (2m7f, soft) last spring; not in same form on any of three starts this year, though, and 1lb wrong today.
