Form & Verdict
Sister to Benbatl and the yard's useful Fooraat; debut fourth last backend (favourite) has worked out well enough since; duly built on that when winning easily at Chelmsford and it's interesting she's being kept going as a 4yo.

Well bred; won middle-distance AW novice events in the style of a very promising filly; progress halted in Haydock Group 3 on last appearance but gave impression the ground (good to firm) was possibly too lively; should still have more to offer and remains of interest.

Two stylish novice wins on the AW and not beaten far despite finishing last in a Group 3 at Haydock (1m4f, good to firm) in June; has a Group 1 entry and she retains plenty of potential, especially on good or softer.

Easy to back and well held in two runs to date; the stiffer test may help, back on a faster surface and into a less-competitive affair, but it needs to.

Has won nine of her ten hurdle starts (including last year's Martin Pipe over C&D), with her only defeat coming at the hands of Lossiemouth in the Grade 1 Aintree Hurdle (2m4f, good to soft) last spring; has looked every bit as good when landing Grade 2 Ascot Hurdle (2m3f, good to soft) and a 2m4f Grade 3 at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting (gave weight and beat Feet Of A Dancer just over 2l) this season; will be hard to beat.

Won four over hurdles last summer before not looking to see out 2m4f latterly; interesting to see how she goes in the market back from a break but may be one for handicaps down the line.

Hasn't won in more than two years and needs to bounce back from a quiet run over hurdles three weeks ago; is a deal lower in the weights than for a couple of runs over C&D last winter but may be on the downgrade and wants a good test over this trip.

Consistent over hurdles and on the Flat this year; holds no secrets from the handicapper but last month's Wincanton fourth (2m5f, good) was perfectly respectable and she'll be fine over today's shorter trip; probably won't be far away.

Half-sister to six winners; needed her debut experience here a month ago; built on that at Wolverhampton, despite being said to have made a respiratory noise, and gets a lot of weight from Modaara.

The only one of these with track experience having been placed in all three visits last winter; 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in February, but that her only success in 18 starts and she takes on a couple of progressive 3yos here.

Well related but hasn't shown much in three runs, including two for Ian Williams last summer; low-grade handicaps are probably in her near future and she's likely to find this beyond her.

Built upon pleasing stable debut when coming from off the pace for C&D (good) success under Leah Noreci in May; subsequent 3lb rise ought to be manageable and she can make her presence felt again.

A fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner for Ben Brookhouse; made a promising start for her new yard after eight months off when third of eight over 2m4f at Aintree eight days ago; she should strip sharper here and rates a player off the same mark.

Half-sister Speirling Beag won twice as a 2yo in Ireland last backend (1m-1m1f) and she may be better off at this sort of trip on the Flat having not seen out 2m on her soft-ground bumper debut a month ago; will do well to get involved though.
