10st 10lb

J: Henry Brooke

A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser but she has been pulled up all three starts over fences this season, latest at Huntingdon (3m) in January; has lots to prove back in this sphere.

Very lightly raced 11yo who gained her win at Hexham (2m7f heavy) in November 2023; only 1lb higher today but absent since a lesser effort a fortnight later.

Came from off the pace to open account at Hexham (2m7f, heavy) a fortnight ago, her first start since a wind op; remains very lightly raced for her age and features prominently in calculations here.

Showed a glimmer of ability in Kelso bumper on debut but she was tailed off at Hexham four weeks later; enough to prove now hurdling.

Form & Verdict
Point winner; made successful rules debut in bumper on this course (soft) last December; improved on form of hurdling debut when winning five-runner maiden at Bangor (2m, good) in August despite making the odd mistake; may progress further over today's longer trip and should be thereabouts.
