Happy Index^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| T: O Murphy| OR: 100| C

Made it 3 wins in 5 starts when seeing off 3 rivals over 26.5f here last month, taking her form figures at Perth to 131. A 4 lb rise seems unlikely to prevent her making another bold bid.

Form: 21123-1

True Destiny^b¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| T: N C Kelly| OR: 98

No win since 2023 but has recorded 3 creditable in-frame efforts this spring, the latest when third at Downpatrick in first-time blinkers (retained). A respected Irish raider.

Form: 2264-43

Maillot Blanc²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| T: N W Alexander| OR: 92

It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2023. Has performed respectably here this spring but suspicion is the wait for the next win will go on a bit longer.

Form: 75546-5

Wearelongterm⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 91| DWS

Showed promise over hurdles when runner-up at Wetherby in January but nowhere near that level since, including in a course chase at the end of April.

Form: 728PP6-

Our Girl Sal³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| T: Paul Robson| OR: 91| D

Gained a first success under Rules when getting up in the dying strides at Kelso last month. That was only her second start for Paul Robson and she's unexposed as a stayer so it wouldn't be a surprise were she to have more to offer.

Form: F2315-1

Malangen²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 87| C

Four-time course scorer whose latest success came at Hexham (2m, good) last June. Made a respectable return from a break when fifth over 2½m here last month but stamina a big worry back at 3m.

Form: 37260-5

Somebody's Fortune^b1,t⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 82

Made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Kelso last May but not in anything like the same form on all 4 subsequent starts (including over fences). Blinkers replace usual visor now.

Form: 5/17P0P-

Bean Alainn¹⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| T: N G Richards| OR: 79

Didn't show anything in a trio of maiden/novice hurdles over 2m last autumn but given a break and could prove a totally different proposition now handicapping over a much longer trip.

Form: 5/00P-

Nae Bother At A'⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 74

Has shown little in bumpers/novice hurdles. Up significantly in trip for handicap debut. Worth a precautionary betting check.

Form: 868/P68-

Cloudsareclearing^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| T: R M Smith| OR: 72

Tailed off in a bumper and 4 hurdles. More realistic chance now handicapping at a basement level but can't make a case on form.

Form: 59P5-0

Forecasts

Happy Index (9/4), Our Girl Sal (4/1), True Destiny (4/1), Maillot Blanc (13/2), Tartan Cookie (14/1), Wearelongterm (14/1), Bean Alainn (14/1), Somebody's Fortune (16/1), Malangen (16/1), Nae Bother At A' (25/1), Cloudsareclearing (33/1)

HAPPY INDEX is the percentage call as she goes in search of a third course win but a strong market move for Nicky Richards handicap newcomer Bean Alainn would make her a possible big threat. Last month's Kelso scorer Our Girl Sal also makes the shortlist.
