THE TIMEFORM VIEW AUNTIE MAGGIE was well backed when finishing an encouraging second at Stratford last month and makes most appeal racing from a 2lb lower mark. Saisissante could be a threat if back to her best with headgear refitted, while Graecia and Kenmya may find improvement now handicapping, the latter one to note for market support.
RESULTS
TIMEFORM VIEW Winner of a 16.5f handicap and Taunton in January 2024 but hasn’t matched that form since. Did hint at a revival when runner-up in a 2m Ludlow handicap earlier this month. May yet be capable of capitalising on falling mark in first-time visor

THE TIMEFORM VIEW DIAMOND KODA is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough victory on the back of a string of good placed efforts. The returning Police Academy could prove the one to give him most to do with her yard going well, although Doc McCoy figures on a lenient mark if resurgent back hurdling.
RESULTS
TIMEFORM VIEW Points winner and made a successful start to hurdle career at Huntingdon on return last season. Struggled under a penalty next 2 starts, though and has offered little switched to fences this term. Handily weighted if this switch to timber sparks a resurgence.
