0-5 over hurdles but bettered her low-key handicap debut (2m1f) when close third of six over C&D (good) last month; remains very unexposed over this sort of trip and might be seen to better effect if today's race is run at a stronger pace. |

Gained a breakthrough success at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and has continued in very good form, third of 12 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July; cheekpieces replace blinkers and she's a likely player after a break. |

Beat last weekend's winner Tara Iti at Sedgefield in April (2m1f, good); similar form in finishing second the last twice and although some 13l behind Auntie Maggie in her penultimate race, she has a hefty swing in the weights with that rival; regularly partnered by Joshua Thompson. |

Handicap chase debutante; 2-10 over hurdles (both wins on good ground) and rated 4lb higher in that sphere; not many positives to take from three beginners' chase runs on soft at 15.5f-2m2f; this trip more suitable but needs the forecast rain to miss. |

Verdict
Back over hurdles after two chase attempts this season, Sonny Carey’s runner BANNTOWN GIRL has good overall credentials for a maiden hurdle success. The Gordon Elliott-trained pair Bellatior and Cool Croi are likely dangers along with Gavin Cromwell’s hurdling debutante One Cool Lady. [Alan Sweetman]
