6 yo Filly

OR: 95

Form & Verdict
Unraced beyond 2m6f but after winning over 2m4f at Warwick in September she didn't look short of stamina when upped to 2m6f at Stratford (good to soft) in October, finishing third to one who was retaining an unbeaten record; back up 1lb; solid form and can be closely involved.

Consistent 8yo who made it 2-2 here when a narrow winner earlier this month; only raised 3lb and this willing mare should have every chance; has won on good.

6 yo Mare

OR: 73

Form & Verdict
Won Irish point; had looked ordinary under rules but she started to show more two starts ago and had things her own way when winning at Leicester (2m6f, good to firm) last week; this is more competitive but good claims under penalty if the quickish return doesn't count against her.

Two of her better efforts came on this track, most recently in a staying hurdle in July 2023; seen only three times since and was pulled up on her recent chase debut so has lots to prove; 3lb wrong.

High-mileage mare who is not very consistent but has collected two wins this season, the latter at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) 24 days ago; not yet fully exposed over marathon trips; a possible if in the right mood again.

Managed to see off two other finishers at Warwick (3m1f, good) in May, but she was well beaten at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last time; record of 2-38 under rules makes others look more attractive.
