Springs A Girl

11st 7lb

J: Harry Atkins

T: Martin Keighley

Won a novice here (2m5f, good to soft) in December 2024 but she's been up and down in handicaps since; finished second of five at Newbury (3m, soft) in February but she didn't fire at Chepstow (2m3f) last time; now goes back up in trip and down in grade but this is competitive and others are more persuasive.

0-2 over fences and back hurdling on last two starts, most recently outstayed by the winner over 3m at Newbury (soft); neither hurdle wins were in handicaps but this mark is fine; should run well.

8 yo Mare

OR: 105

Form & Verdict
Has been chasing and won around Hereford in November (3m1f, good; won on soft), despite jumping out to her left; repeated the dose when only fourth there last month; returns to hurdling off a useful mark (without taking into account Murray Dodd's claim) and she's won twice in this discipline.

Won over 3m1f as a chaser earlier in the season but was a well-held third of five on her return to hurdling over C&D a month ago (soft no excuse); others preferred with cheekpieces now given a go.

Form & Verdict
Point/bumper winner; has finished closer in each of her runs over hurdles, last time beaten about 8l at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) behind two novices with potential; she too falls into that category now raised to 3m for her first handicap.

Point and bumper winner; four runs over hurdles, best when third at Wincanton (extended 2m5f, heavy) in January; handicap debut under 7lb claimer at Newbury (3m1f, soft; favourite) last time was disappointing but these are early days and she could bounce back.

Staying-on second on handicap debut at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December; flopped in five-runner race at Newbury (3m1f, soft) two months later but had first-time cheekpieces which are now absent; seriously considered on the Lingfield effort but return to better ground asks a question.

Some sign of ability in points and in bumpers, beaten single-figure lengths at Uttoxeter and Southwell; has been found an ordinary race to launch hurdling career and should be involved.
