Verdict
SAISISSANTE can record her second success over hurdles, having posted a likeable comeback effort at Hereford 18 days ago. Bellbird ran well at Carlisle last time out, and she can chase home the selection ahead of Asian Spice, with Harry Cobden an eyecatching jockey booking.

VerdictPlaced on the last of 3 starts in points back in 2022. Promising return to action when runner-up in novice/maiden hurdles at Chepstow (2m/19.5f) in April. Something amiss when pulled up (odds on favourite) at Southwell in May. Needs to bounce back from that but yard is very much respected.

VerdictRunner-up twice for Willie Mullins but showed little for Paul Nolan. More encouragement on debut for this yard in a 2m Kempton novice during the spring (in a share of third and keeping on when falling at last). Pitched into listed company on return 15 days ago (8th of 9), this is more her level.- 3. SaisissanteJ: James DaviesT: Noel WilliamsF: 713-3

VerdictLanded juvenile hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) in November 2023 and ran a respectable third at Newbury the following month. Blinkers discarded for comeback run 18 days ago but shaped encouragingly after a year off (raced keenly 3/8 at Hereford). Blinkers off again but remains of strong interest. - 4.

VerdictProved better than ever when gaining the third Exeter success of her career in 18.5f handicap in November. That form has been boosted since and she must enter calculations again with Harry Cobden who is 1 from 1 on this horse taking over in the saddle.

VerdictBuilt on previous promise when making all on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in October. Not in the same form when a well-held third under a penalty at Fontwell the following week (17.5f). Back in distance now and this looks a tougher race.

VerdictBenefitted from a patient ride when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in November and ran at least as well under a penalty when third at Taunton (19f, good) the following week. Poor run on softer ground at Ffos Las 6 days later but race likely came too soon for her.- 7. BellbirdJ: Charlie MaggsT: Donald McCainF: 3-1547282

VerdictFair maiden on the Flat in France. Scored for current yard at Ludlow (2m) in May and back to form when second at Bangor in September. Her penultimate run is forgivable and was last seen 42 days ago chasing home well-treated Harry Derham horse (Carlisle, Second of 10). That form reads well here. - Unnamed Favourite
