B Mrs K. Exall & Mr A. Exall Bresbet S

TIMEFORM VIEW Made the frame on a couple of occasions in bumpers. Yet to better poor form over hurdles, held again at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) just over a fortnight ago Step up in trip could bring out some improvement. TFRHHHHI BHA74

O C J Underwood and Caroline Fryer Caroline Fryer, Wymondham T

B Barrow Hill

TIMEFORM VIEW Both wins for her yard have come over C&D (including this race last year) under this rider Recent efforts have been rather flat though, and her mark continues to fall as a result.

Stewards Note:

MILANESE ROSE: Following its run on 2/11/2022 it was reported that the horse was impeded whereupon it stumbled.

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Gaia Vallis (FR), 6-1 Sadie Hill (IRE), 17-2 Kentford Mallard (GB), 12-1 Milanese Rose (IRE), Div Ine Tara (GB), 14-1 Hey Frankie (IRE), 16-1 First Venture (IRE), Bean Norty (GB), Ratoute Yutty (GB), 25-1 Makety (GB), 33-1 Elsieanne (GB), 40-1 Nancy Till (IRE), 50-1 Giveusacuddle (IRE)

GAIA VALLIS saw the 3m trip out with more conviction than had previously been the case when finishing runner-up at Taunton a fortnight ago, so David Bridgwater’s 7-y-o is fancied to go a place better and continue her fine run of form. The main danger may emerge from Sadie Hill, who narrowly got off the mark at Ffos Las last month and should be competitive again from just a 3lb higher mark. Div Ine Tara and Kentford Mallard can fight out third spot.
