Form & Verdict
Justified support when making a winning debut for Olly Murphy at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft), finding plenty when asked to go and win her race; also effective on good ground; looks to have been found an inviting opportunity to follow up off 5lb higher.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Started off for Olly Murphy with three hurdle wins this spring (2m6f-2m7f); well beaten on chasing debut in July but travelled strongly for a long way before fading into fourth at Stratford (3m3f, good to firm) last month, and today's drop back in trip looks the right move; shortlisted.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Started off for Olly Murphy with three hurdle wins this spring (2m6f-2m7f) and also ran well when upped to 3m2f here for next outing; well beaten when ridden much more patiently than usual on last month's chasing debut but runs this track very well and could still have a future over fences.

Form & Verdict
Won a good-ground point bumper last May but has offered little in three runs over hurdles (2m-2m5f), latest at Hereford (2m4f, good to soft) when beaten 63l; cheekpieces now go on and she makes her handicap debut in a weak race with the longer trip likely to suit.

J: Harry Reed

Came good over hurdles at sixth attempt, making all in five-runner contest at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in June, but the form isn't anything to go wild about and she was pulled up in Uttoxeter race won by Cinderello last month.

Form & Verdict
Has finished tailed off on all three runs over hurdles, most recently at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December; however, her pedigree suggests she could improve for this step up in distance and this isn't a strong race; handicap debut.

1m5f Flat winner in 2022 but yet to win over hurdles (2m-3m1f) after 13 attempts (pulled up on sole chase start) and hasn't shown any immediate benefit for wind surgery in two runs since; continues to fall in the weights but goes back up in trip with a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
2-11 in Irish points (wins on soft to heavy) but beaten by wide margins in all three starts over hurdles, all over 2m and latest at Uttoxeter (soft) in February; more likely needed now switching to handicaps but she's on a basement mark with the step up to nearly 3m looking a positive.

Had more in hand than the winning margin suggests when springing 40-1 shock from 5lb out of the handicap at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last Thursday; she's back up in trip today but she won two 3m points in 2023-24; under a penalty she's effectively only 2lb higher than last week; major player.
