Rosie Mahler (Ire)

Age: 6
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

From a good jumping family (closely related to useful hurdler Favour And Fortune). Finished 2-length second in an ordinary Uttoxeter maiden (2½m, heavy) on hurdling debut last November. Certainly open to improvement up in trip, for all her yard has yet to hit top gear this season.

Jax Belle

From a family yard has had success with. Didn't pull up any trees in bumpers last year. Hinted at ability when mid-field in 12-runner Ludlow maiden on hurdling debut in February. Probably a longer-term project.

Capricciose (Ire)

J: Harry Skelton
T: Dan Skelton
F: 315-

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

From a good jumping family. Showed plenty of stamina to win Carlisle bumper. Did all she could when 15-length fifth in listed event at Sandown (2m) on debut for top yard. In the mix on her bumper form (all on soft), and she may well improve for the longer trip/switch to hurdling on return.

Trinity Street (Ire)

J: Sam Twiston-Davies
T: Henry Daly
F: 23254-

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

Expensive pointer who has made a positive start under Rules. Again behind Charisma Cat (borderline useful) when 9¾-length fourth in Grade 2 at Newbury (21f, good) in March. Sets the standard back in calmer waters, with the slightly longer trip no harm under conditions perhaps quicker than ideal.

Secret Des Lune

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

Aided by the run of the race/showed a good attitude when fair winner of a Plumpton bumper in March. Market foretold a quiet hurdling debut at Fontwell (2¼m) subsequently. Type who could improve up in trip this season, possibly in handicaps.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
14/05/26	Fontwell Park	2m 1f 162y	Good	6/9	Hurdle

Western Charm

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

Related to some above-average jumpers. Some mitigation for both starts following a comfortable heavy-ground bumper win (beat Secret Des Lune) at Wincanton last season. Market should offer plenty of clues switched to a markedly longer trip on hurdling bow, with yard also saddling Posh Chick.

Fountains Gala

Age: 6
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

Passing Glance mare who isn't badly bred. Offered little in a couple of completed hurdle starts last season. Needs this run for a mark.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
14/04/26	Newton Abbot	2m 5f 122y	Gd/Sft	-/10	Hurdle

Posh Chick

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

Winning pointer who improved/justified support when off the mark in a Plumpton bumper in April. Up against some better-bred rivals on hurdling debut, however, she's in capable hands and should benefit from the longer trip.

19/04/26	Plumpton	2m 1f 169y	Good	1/7	Bumper

Vajra (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

Steps up in trip having looked badly in need of the experience on her belated debut at Hereford (2m). Probably needs more time.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
13/10/26	Hereford	2m 53y	Gd/Frm	5/5	Hurdle

Timeform Verdict

Hopefully the ground doesn't dry out too much for TRINITY STREET, who looks the one to beat with sights lowered on return. Well-related Rosie Mahler may follow her home if improving as entitled from her debut effort, while Capricciose could be the pick of the hurdling newcomers.

Betting Forecast

3/1 Rosie Mahler (Ire), 50/1 Jax Belle, 7/2 Capricciose (Ire), 11/4 Trinity Street (Ire), 16/1 Secret Des Lune, 12/1 Western Charm, 250/1 Fountains Gala, 7/1 Posh Chick, 100/1 Vajra (Ire)
