Narrative: Small-field Class 5 mares' handicap chase where A Little Something stands out on form having been runner-up off this exact mark in each of her last two starts, latterly at Fontwell on similar ground. Little Wren is the obvious danger as a stack-of-form Skelton runner who won her chase debut making all, though the 97-day break and last-day pull-up are concerns. Ballyhiho was thrashed on her chase bow over C&D and Pure Seduction is hard to fancy on chase debut after two woeful hurdle runs. Pace looks moderate with Little Wren likely to dictate; A Little Something the established yardstick. Recommended: A Little Something Top-rated on RPR (108) and TS (97), runner-up off this exact mark in each of her last two runs on good ground, fresh after 23 days and strongest yard/jockey combination in the field. Alternative: Little Wren Skelton in red-hot 31% form, won chase debut making all in cheekpieces, and a strong claimer takes 7lb off; only the 97-day layoff and last-day pull-up stop her being favourite. ============================================================================== Generated 2026-05-27 18:40 UTC · HorseRacingValue.com · race rac_11928410
