Form & Verdict
Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Restandbethankful; bought for £110,000 soon after winning by 4l on Irish point debut in May (yielding ground) and makes significant appeal on today's rules debut.

Bought for £110,000 after winning an Irish point in May, and she landed the odds in novice over C&D (good to soft; made all in convincing fashion) on hurdling debut four weeks ago; looks a useful prospect and may well maintain unbeaten record.

Showed her inexperience before keeping on well for second in Taunton bumper (good to soft) for Fergal O'Brien in January; not seen again since but evidently has ability; now with Iain Jardine for hurdling debut.

Still to win a race but she showed improved form when upped to 3m at Ayr in February (good to soft; cheekpieces first time, retained); up 3lb but still has time to do better.

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Iain Jardine

Runner-up in a bumper and on hurdling debut last year but soundly beaten in first three handicap hurdles (2m-2m4f) and not really bred to benefit from today's step up in trip; cheekpieces (worn three starts ago) are given another whirl.

J: Lewis Dobb

T: Iain Jardine

Showed promise when runner-up in a bumper and on hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft); things have gone rather pear-shaped since but heavy ground is a possible excuse for latest two defeats; had wind surgery since; not dismissed.

7 yo Mare

OR:

Form & Verdict
Won five-runner Worcester bumper (good) last September but the form isn't anything to get excited about, and she was about 33l behind Lady Stanwix when third of four on recent hurdling debut at Perth (2m4f, good).

Capable when on song as she showed when going down narrowly under a positive ride at Cartmel (2m6f, good); up just 3lb and she can follow one good run with another.

Struck form in the autumn, most notably when holding on well to win from the front at Hexham (2m4f, soft), but ran poorly this month, after a break, and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.

5 yo Mare

OR:

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien in early part of this year but her two more recent runs for Jessica Bedi were underwhelming; needs to learn to settle better, and has quite a bit to prove on today's hurdling debut.
