8 yo Mare

OR: 142

Form & Verdict
Irish raider who is a multiple winner on the Flat and over hurdles; record over fences stands at 0-9 but she has some useful form in this sphere including when a close second in a Bangor handicap (2m4f, good to soft; RPR 142) 12 days ago; this is a golden opportunity back in a novice and she should be very hard to beat.

Admirable mare will be having her 108th start under rules; 1-21 over fences but has run well at this venue on multiple occasions; lost form since shock win in a 2m listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in March 2024; hard to fancy on recent showings but can't fully dismiss.

Admirable front-runner but recent form far from encouraging, 3m beyond her last time; return to 2m to suit but hard to see her lasting it out.

6 yo Mare

OR: 105

Form & Verdict
Hurdle winner who has a very mixed record in her four runs over fences; finished tailed off at Uttoxeter in December but was a close second in a Southwell handicap (2m4f, good) on her penultimate run; has a lot to find with Effernock Fizz here but she's capable of bouncing back and could win the battle for second.

Headstrong mare who settled okay in the first-time hood at Ascot last week (2m1f, good) but found nothing significant for pressure once the chips were down; has the form to feature but she's not one to rely on.

9 yo Mare

OR: 107

Form & Verdict
Five-time hurdle winner but she's struggled switched to chasing in her last two starts including when pulled up in a C&D handicap (good to soft) last month; has plenty to prove back in a novice and this looks a daunting task against Effernock Fizz.

Multiple hurdle winner at up to 2m3f; acts on a sound surface; 0-11 over fences; below par on her recent reappearance but not ruled out each-way if she comes on for that.
