Verdict

RIALANNAH shaped a good bit better than fifth suggests on her Uttoxeter stable debut and is taken to build on that and strike at the second time of asking for Lucy Wadham. Recent Southwell scorer Raby Mere may give her most to do ahead of Breezethroughlife.

5	Now 0-15 over hurdles but did shape with promise on last month's first outing for new yard after a year off at Uttoxeter, racing with plenty of zest in front and briefly clear before tying up on the run-in. This might be her day. 1st Pick 5 Rialannah (Ire) Jockey: Gavin Sheehan Trainer: Lucy Wadham J: Gavin Sheehan T: Lucy Wadham	100	-	-	-	39%

7	Dual winner for Olly Murphy and back to form out of blue for new yard in refitted cheekpieces (retained) when springing a 28/1 surprise in 3m Southwell handicap last month. Claims if the headgear continues to do the trick. 2nd Pick 7 Raby Mere (Fr) Jockey: Lewis Stones Trainer: Caroline Fryer J: Lewis Stones T: Caroline Fryer	97	-	-	-	13%

2	Made a successful start for Neil King in 2½m course maiden hurdle in October. 3m Doncaster second in December shows he can be competitive in handicaps. Has run poorly twice since but it's possible a recent breathing operation and a return to Fakenham could spark a revival. 3rd Pick 2 Breezethroughlife (Ire) Jockey: Jack Quinlan Trainer: Neil King J: Jack Quinlan T: Neil King	99	-	-	-	23%
