Harry Skelton J O Cherry Knoll Farm, M&T Ward & D Skelton Dan Skelton, Alcester T B Atomic Winner Syndicate Ladbrokes, The Air Ambulance Service (Warwickshire & Northamptonshire) S TIMEFORM VIEW Won 3 times in a productive first season over hurdles last term and very good start to present campaign when second in a Grade 3 handicap at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft). Up 4lb for that but leading claims back in a race confined to her own sex. TFRHHHHH BHA137

Br B m Milan - Mhuire Na Gale (IRE) Jonathan Burke J
O Chasing Gold Racing Club
Harry Fry, Corscombe T B Margaret Treacy On His Own Stables Grosvenor Sport S TIMEFORM VIEW Useful hurdler who generally held her form last year and put in a good shift when third of 9 on return at Sandown (19.8f, soft). Entitled to come on for that and should make her presence felt. TFRHHHII BHA127

Br B m Passing Glance - Apple Days Bradley Roberts (7) J
O The Tweed Clad Fossils
Charlie Longsdon, Chipping Norton T B Mrs F. Marriott Merribelle Stable Llc S TIMEFORM VIEW Three wins last season and has performed with credit all 3 starts since returning to action in September, most recently at Ascot where she was 3 1/4 lengths second to Coquelicot. Enjoys a handy pull at the weights with that rival here and needs considering. TFRHHHHI BHA127

O Geegeez.co.uk PA
Anthony Honeyball, Beaminster T B Mme I. Corbani, A. Waugh & T. Waugh Geegeez.co.uk S TIMEFORM VIEW Triple bumper winner who is still lightly raced over hurdles and has resumed progress of late, landing mares’ handicaps at Ascot and Sandown. Up total of 11lb for that brace but couldn’t rule out with trip/ground no problem here. TFRHHHII BHA126
5 MIDNIGHTREFLECTION (GB) (24) 41/3F-P0 D 7 10-13
Br B m Midnight Legend - Hymn To Love (FR) Bryan Carver J
O Case Racing Partnership & Anita J Lush
Ben Case, Banbury T B Mrs C. J. C. Bailey David Andrews Construction Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Landed pair of mares’ handicaps at up to 25f during 2020/21 campain but lightly-raced since and offered little back from 6 months off at Sandown. TFRHIIII BHA122

David Bass J Kim Bailey, Cheltenham T B J. F. Perriss Kim Bailey Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Suffered a few near misses over hurdles last season but has more than made up for that this time round, making it 3 in a row when edging out a last-time-out winner from the Nicholls yard at Taunton (3m, good to soft). 4lb rise tolerable but she’s up in grade here. TFRHHHII BHA121

Tom Cannon J
O Mr R Peters and Mr T Ford
Lucy Wadham, Newmarket T B Mr Tom Ford Weatherbys Hamilton LLP S TIMEFORM VIEW Ended last season with a decisive success in a 21f novice here. Below par in handicaps won by Coquelicot at Ascot and Sandown this time round, though, and she needs to get back on track. TFRHHIII BHA119
DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2021: EMMPRESSIVE LADY (IRE) 6 11 4 Sean Houlihan 3-1 (Susan Gardner) 7 ran
Tongue Strap worn by No. 2. Blinkers, Tongue Strap worn by No. 4. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 5. Stewards Note: TERRESITA: Following its run on 3/12/2022 it was reported that the horse hung right in closing stages.
PLAY SMARTER GET A TONIC raised her game when finding just one too good in a valuable Haydock handicap and will prove a tough nut to crack if at least matching that form here. Glimpse of Gala has a good chance of reversing Ascot placings with Coquelicot on these revised terms and is second choice ahead of Anthony Honeyball’s charge. I Spy A Diva needs another step forward now upped in grade and Terresita needs to get back on track but Whitehotchillifili is fairly reliable and should make her presence felt.
